What Are We Eating, Cooking, and Discovering?
This curious corner of Food & Recipes includes, of course, recipes, but also includes the questions, discoveries, ingredients, foods, and ideas behind what we eat.
Food is something we all have in common. We eat it, cook it, experiment with it, create with it and sometimes wonder what happened to it before it ever reached our kitchen.
Some things here are recipes I’ve made over the years and want to share. Others started with a question about an ingredient, a food, or something I’ve discovered along the way. And, they all have a story attached to them. Some may be short, others have a little more history to them.
Food & Recipes isn’t just about following a recipe. It’s also about being curious about what’s on our plate. This is a lot more curious than a simple recipe to follow.
Follow your curiosity wherever it may take you!

Grapes Galore and So Much More
There is so much to be curious about here, including recipes you can use. And food is such a wide range hub. So I start with Grapes, why? These are my Moms favorite fruits to eat, especially right from nature.
These can be eaten right off the vine or used in so many recipes, and don’t forget the jellies and jams too. And here I simply wanted to know more about them.
A brief introduction as a visitor, you will find here:
- Different varieties of grapes

Next up in our curious line-up, we talk about questions surrounding seed oils.
What’s Up With Seed Oils?
There has been a lot of talk about this very question. And it made me really curious, because everyone uses some type of oil or grease when they cook with, in a multitude of recipes.
Many recipes start by heating oil, then adding one ingredient after another. But have you ever stopped to wonder which oils we use and why?
→ What’s Up With Seed Oils?
This, like many other questions, led to another question, then another until your curiosity gets temporarily satisfied. Only of course until another question comes up again.

A Few More Curious Food Discoveries
This is where Food & Recipes becomes more than a recipe collection.
To start, it’s really hard to talk about food without talking about Coffee. It seems to have been around for my entire life, in one way or another. When you say the word coffee, everyone seems to know exactly what you’re talking about.
Coffee seems simple enough. Pour, drink, repeat. But there’s actually a lot more to discover.
And my question was, Where did Coffee come from? So, being the curious soul I am, I went out to investigate it. Here is what my discovery revealed, if you’re curious too?
→ Coffee
Another found discovery came from my question on wanting to know, “Does it matter how ripe a banana is before I eat it?”
You know, sometimes you get a bunch of bananas and the first one tastes different than the last one you eat. Why is that?
Curious to know why? Want the answer?
→ Banana Ripeness: Does It Matter?
Yet another curious discovery started with another question when I was researching information about frequencies. The question is, “Do foods have frequencies?” And wow, I had no idea it was a thing. Another rabbit hole of sorts.
→ Do Foods Really Have Frequencies?
Just know, this is where sharing Food & Recipes starts with a single question. Then, your curiosity leads to so much more.
Food Can Lead Somewhere Else
Of course, food doesn’t always stay in the kitchen. Sometimes a food question leads somewhere completely different.
For questions about health, wellness, ingredients, and how food may affect us, look into Health & Wellness.
For broader questions about frequencies and the unexpected connections between everyday life and the world around us, wander over to Lifestyle.
For things we’re looking for, comparing, buying, or trying to save money on, we have Shopping.
When the curiosity turns into something we’re actually making or creating, there is Konikreate.
So…What Are You Curious About?
Food can be incredibly simple. And incredibly complicated.
Sometimes we’re simply looking for something good to make for dinner.
Other times one little question or ingredient sends us down a rabbit hole. I’ve done this myself.
Sometimes all it takes is one question to discover something new.
