Yummy Honey, Seed & Nut Power Snack Recipes

June 28, 2012 by Stormy Sweitzer - Maoomba-in-chief · Leave a Comment

Last week I talked about tasting honey.  In my opinion, honey can be overpowering – rich, sweet, even palpitation-inducing – on its own and tastes best in combination with more savory ingredients…like tea, or nuts, or meat.

Super Simple Hummus – With or Without the Chickpeas

April 5, 2012 by Stormy Sweitzer - Maoomba-in-chief · 2 Comments

Every time I think about posting a recipe for hummus, I stop.  It seems like it is one of those things that everyone covers just because it is so darned simple.  And the core ingredients of lemon, cumin, garlic, and olive oil – and even the distinctive tahini sesame paste – can be mixed with [...]

Mango mania!

February 18, 2012 by Stormy Sweitzer - Maoomba-in-chief · Leave a Comment

I looooove mangos!  All varieties. My favorite thing to do is take a very ripe mango, roll it around until the flesh is pulverized and juicy, and then poke a straw through the skin to drink it. I don’t do this as much in Utah – where mangos arrive green – as I did in [...]
