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!

Vegetables End of Summer 2015

Posted on September 12, 2015 by Lanie Fioretti

A few things have survived the scorching heat, and have started to produce again.  The greenhouse still has spinach, swiss chard, and kale.  I’m waiting for it to get a little cooler, to plant the winter greens.  In the yard, we have a new squash vine, and we have white and butternut squash on the…

Bo Bo’s BBQ

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Lanie Fioretti

This is a great BBQ food truck, in a very obscure place in Belton.  Hands down some of the meatiest and best ribs Don’s had.  I tasted them and they were delish.  I had a brisket taco and a pulled pork taco, and they were both excellent (the sauce is a little sweet, so go…
