Before I Go...

Chipotle, Corn and Black Bean Stew from VwaV is a family favorite now. Fresh corn really makes a difference in this concoction. The lime zest adds an interesting dimension to the flavor. I use diced instead of crushed canned tomatoes and it works great, especially the fire-roasted kind. I have frozen black beans that need to be used up so I was a little generous on that side... and with the cumin.

Can't keep tiny hands from this bowl of stew before I could take the shot.

Inspired by the above stew, here's my Southwestern Salad version. Such a refreshing mix, especially with (again) fresh corn, and other organic goodness. Where's the avocado?

Different hands, same story...

Alive And Well

I had thoughts of updating this blog even just to let you know of what we've been up to, and yet I could never get myself to the task. Until now, of course. I still visit favorite blogs. I have to. A lot of my cooking inspirations come from them.

I plan to keep the kaivegan website, but not sure about the blog. Posts are hard to come by nowadays, as you notice.

I barely had computer time for a couple of weeks. Though it's a little steady now, cooking is not, and so is my desire to blog. Our house is finally on the market, and just keeping the kitchen (and the rest of the house) in spotless condition all the time has dampened the cooking spirit. Nevertheless, when Blogger cooperates, I have a few photos that I want to share before this site goes on overdrive again. Or should I call it stillness?
