Tonight’s dinner was inspired by a recipe from Eating Well magazine. I don’t cook out of Eating Well nearly enough, and I tell myself that every time I make a recipe that I consider a repeater from them. I say dinner was inspired, because I didn’t follow the recipe 100% and I do think [...]

For salad season, that is. Here we were, having a cooler than normal, mild summer, and now that we’re in the last few weeks of it, it’s letting loose like you wouldn’t believe. Hot and exceptionally sticky makes for a really cranky me when it comes to cooking. And not just the actual cooking, [...] Lately, Abigail has been picking up the different magazines I bring in to the house and reading through them. Or at least, flipping through them and finding pictures of food that looks good. Last week I picked up a copy of the newest Everyday Food because it had a headline for grill desserts. We’re [...] It may be hot and toasty outside, but after a while, a person gets kind of tired of the usual hot-n-toasty food. You can only eat salad so many days in a row before you just can’t take another bite. Those are the times where I try to take something we would normally eat, [...] My favorite cooking magazine for probably the last five years or so has been Gourmet magazine. It never failed that I could always find something fun and new to try cooking from each and every issue- the Gourmet Everyday section was my favorite. When Gourmet was closed down last fall, my heart, along with [...] When I was in high school, I became addicted to cooking shows on TV. They were fairly new then- there was no such thing as a Food Network- only the occasional show on PBS. The Discover Channel at the time, was just one channel on cable, and in the late mornings they had a [...] At least not in a traditional sense. But this was one of those dinners that just came together so easily, and turned out much more tasty than I thought possible. I mean, I thought it would be passable as edible, but I wasn’t expecting how delicious it would be- and I definitely didn’t expect [...] I’m not sure what to call this stuff. My post the other day about eating real food caused me to reflect on what we spread on bread. Traditionally, we don’t use butter in my house. I don’t buy margarine either, but I do buy butter spreads- our favorite being Brummel & Brown. So we [...] This last week I heard some of the most wonderful words from my son… “Mommy, could you make some oatmeal for breakfast today? With red raisins?” Be still my heart. Was he actually asking for something extremely nutritious for him- and something that I absolutely love? I love a good bowl of oatmeal, and [...] Last week at the library I picked up a copy of Rick Bayless’s cookbooks, Mexico, One Plate At A Time. I just adore Rick Bayless- his recipes, while they may seem long and daunting sometimes, are worth every second of effort. The great thing about his recipes is that after you’ve managed to follow [...] This week I was really stumped when it came to a menu plan. I had no clue what I was in the mood for or felt like making. Fortunately for me, Andy is around this week, so I handed him some paper and told him to write some things down that he felt like [...] I need to stop making addictive baked goods. Much like those pancakes I’ve been swooning over- these breadsticks did the exact same thing to me. I had to keep going back into the kitchen for “just one more” because they really weren’t that good- were they? This recipe came about because I wanted something [...] |
