Sunday Recipe: Ratatouille, Like the Movie

Last updated on: September 4, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Chef Thomas Keller created this special version of ratatouille when he consulted with Pixar studios on the film Ratatouille. I shamelessly capitalized on the appeal of the rat-chef, Remy, to get my 5 year old to eat lots of vegetables by cooking ratatouille in a much-simplified version of Keller’s recipe so that it would look like the dish in the film. (Just so we’re clear, I’m not recommending the film for young viewers. My young boy knew about Remy from... Read more

Moment of Joy

Last updated on: September 2, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Inspired by Amanda Blake Soule’s {this moment}, I’m following a Friday ritual: posting a single photo–no caption, no words–from the week capturing a moment or an idea expressing something related to {family, faith, food; joyful justice & bread of life} —a Moment of Joy. If you would like to do the same, leave a link to your photo in the comments! Read more

Patheos Book Club: Raised Right by Alisa Harris

Last updated on: September 1, 2011 at 12:30 pm By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m delighted to be participating in the Patheos Book Club! Like Alisa Harris, journalist and author of Raised Right: How I Untangled my Faith from Politics, I once pretty much assumed that Christian = Republican. Also like her, I assumed that America was fundamentally a “Christian” nation and the Best Nation on Earth. Like her, I no longer believe these things, but I still love my country– “because it’s mine–because this is the community where God saw fit to plunk... Read more

What I Want vs. What I HAVE

Last updated on: August 31, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

One of the things I love about gardening (and eating in season) is that it shifts your focus from what you WANT to what you HAVE. Instead of saying, “Hmn, what do I feel like eating?”, you say, “What do we have? What’s ripe and ready?” and you build your meal around that. And that–as Barbara Kingsolver suggested in this interview–turns everyday eating into a practice of gratitude. Rather than starting with what I want, I start with what’s actually... Read more

Guest Post: Ellyn Satter on Emotional Eating

Last updated on: August 30, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

~~it’s NORMAL, it DOESN’T CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN, and RESTRICTING makes it worse…but it can be abused~~ {I’m delighted to welcome dietician Ellyn Satter to the blog today with a re-print of her article on emotional eating! Thanks, Ellyn!} In my review of the January through June issues of the journal Appetite, I found that a high number of articles addressed emotional eating. As with earlier articles on the topic, the underlying assumption of authors was that emotional eating is to... Read more

After the Storm

Last updated on: August 29, 2011 at 7:15 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Can’t tell you how glad I am that the damage wrought by Hurricane Irene in our little corner of NY has been, for the most part, minimal! While I wasn’t particularly worried about the house (which has been standing here since before Ma & Pa Ingalls got married…figure that out), I was worried about an old maple tree in our yard that has certainly seen better days, and, of course, about the fruit trees we planted only last year, as...

Sunday Recipe: “Secret” Chocolate Cake

Last updated on: August 28, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

(Chocolate Beet Cake, which sounds awful but TASTES delicious; see here. Don’t tell anyone what’s in it until they’ve tasted it. Oh, also, beets are ridiculously easy to grow. So grow some!) Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously butter a 9″x12″ baking dish. Then, puree in food processor until very smooth: 2 cups cooked, peeled beets* 1/2 cup applesauce In a large bowl, beat for 2 minutes with electric mixer (or a wooden spoon and lots o’ elbow grease): 1...

Weekend Eating Reading: Robert Farrar Capon

Last updated on: August 27, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

…the Saturday post! Weekend Eating Reading briefly discusses at least one good book that’s somehow related to ‘joyful eating.’ This week I’m delighted to introduce the books of Robert Farrar Capon, the Episcopalian priest, cook, and writer best known for his modern culinary classic, The Supper of the Lamb, published in 1969. Father Capon’s writing is witty, wise, and very funny. He aims to get you cooking well, but also to get you thinking well about cooking, food, and God. He’s... Read more
