Actually, no, that's not right. It's not that I Heart Food Blogs, it's that ...

Recipes from my favorite food blogs, mostly recipes, mostly real food, mostly family meals. The list updates automatically, new recipes from long-time favorite food blogs, even the new food blogs I fall in love with. Yes, it's always fresh, it's always in season!

My Best & Favorite One-Pot Supper Recipes

One-Pot Meals. One-Pot Dinners. One-Pot Suppers. Whatever you call the recipes that move from stove to table or stove to oven to table, combining protein and vegetables and/or a starch in a single pot, they are a busy cook's best friends! I've collected one-pot recipes for years, without really thinking actually, they're just my style of cooking. But now I've collected my "best and favorite" one-pot suppers recipes all in one place.

A selection of Kitchen Parade recipes from 2010

Earlier this month, I received a letter from Patricia, a Kitchen Parade reader. She wrote, "At this time of the year, especially as we become older, it is important to count our blessings and tell those who have touched/and are touching our lives." She went on to thank me for making her life better. (Wow. Yes, I cried.)

But honestly, Kitchen Parade may come from my heart but without readers like Patricia -- without YOU as a reader -- and without your encouragement whether in comments, Facebooks "likes" or an e-mail subscription, this website would be a much lesser place, it might not exist at all.

So let ME thank you, for reading, for your encouragement, for your trust, for your curiosity, for the privilege of sharing kitchens.

Happy New Year's to all!

Test Post - Vegan Done Real w jump break & use br tags

A collection of favorite vegan recipes, all made without processed food. Fresh, whole and delicious, that's Vegan Done Real.

Vegan Visitors: Please know, Kitchen Parade is not a veg(etari)an website but includes many veg(etari)an recipes as part of a healthy omnivore / flexitarian diet. You might appreciate my food blog about vegetables, A Veggie Venture but please know, it is vegetables, NOT vegetarian, even though heavily vegetarian and mostly vegan, see (Note to Vegetarians).

Regular Readers: No worries, Kitchen Parade is not turning vegan, nor even advocating a vegan diet. What I do want to stand up for is fresh, seasonal healthy food -- real food, not processed food -- whatever our diet choices.

Easy Margarita Chicken
from Cook This, Not That!

Another Quick Supper recipe, chicken breasts quickly sautéed in a skillet and topped with salsa and a sprinkle of cheese, served with a can of black beans doctored with onions, peppers, cumin and lime juice. (The beans themselves are so good, you just might be tempted to make a meal out of them alone!)

Plus my reaction to Cook This, Not That!, the cookbook that food people love to hate.
