Earth Eats: Real Food, Green Living
Heather Tallman is a Bloomington native, freelance writer and mother to 2 busy boys. She is also a food writer for her local newspaper as well as the creator of Basilmomma, a cooking blog. She writes about her culinary hits and misses and all of the life that goes along with it. Her goal is to create fast, fresh and family-friendly meals that teach her children and others that creating meals from farm to table is not only attainable but easier than you think.
Quinoa is an easy to cook grain that - when combined with syrup - can be a rich, savory dish that is healthy too.
It is so nice to come home to a meal that is easy to get on the table.
I may not be ready for cooler weather, but I am sure ready for fall food!
It seems like we are darting here and there after school to get to a lesson, practice or to run an errand. It is handy to have snacks on hand for hungry kids.
I like to prepare a meatless dish at least two nights a week. It is far easier to accomplish this in the warmer months when fresh food is most abundant.
These mini quiches are quick and easy, and I can make an individual one for each member of my family with their favorite add-ins.
I will welcome my kids home from school with a frosty glass of watermelon lemonade, a sweet and refreshing drink I can feel good about serving.
I am usually not good at incorporating Asian flavors into our meals, but I hit the jackpot this time with grilled pork skewers and sauteed green beans.
Corn is a little bit like zucchini in that if you are growing it and you have it 'coming out your ears' you may run out of ways to cook it.
This is a fun way to serve lasagna: top each individual strip of noodle with the "cheese" filling, roll it up, and top it with sauce before baking.
Creamy white and sugary-sweet, this pie is known in my family as Grandma King's Pie.
My family had an adventure picking our own berries at a local farm, but the best part was enjoying the cobbler I made from them.
What I decided to make from the treasures I purchased from the market was a salad that makes a wonderful side or light lunch.
I initially applauded the decision by Jack in the Box to remove toys from kids meals, but when you peel back the layers you see that this is just a PR move.
A great way to start any meal on a warm summer night is with a nice, fresh drink.
Whether you eat this with a little yogurt or as a snack in the morning, this muffin is filling, healthy and has a little bit of summer in every bite.
