Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

(Breakfast) Mega Migas (Egg) Casserole

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Lanie Fioretti

One of our new favorite things is Central Market Organics brand Hatch Green Chile Tortilla Chips.  They’re great by themselves, but now I’m dreaming of them as a delicious flavor ingredient.  So, a fantastic Mexican egg dish is a good way to start.  Then of course there will have to be several more recipes as…

Preserving the Harvest

Posted on June 23, 2012June 23, 2012 by Lanie Fioretti

This year I’m having a bit of trouble keeping up with the harvest. Today I’ve roasted tomatoes, dried tomatoes, pickled banana peppers, marinated cucumbers, and sautéed eggplant. I still have okra to work with before I collapse.  And I totally forgot about the radishes I found in one of the beds.  They are too hot,…
