Month: December 2008

Lol.  I thought it would be fun to look back at my food goals for 2008 and see how badly I did.  Here is my abbreviated list this morning in bold, with my notes about how I did on it this year, following.  Boy, I sure was ambitious last December! […]

I have done an excellent job this month sticking to my pantry and freezer challenge, for the most part.  I’ve been really concentrating more on using leftovers and trying to use up some of the older things that are stashed in the freezer.  I’ve only really done a major grocery […]

Sorry for taking so many days off!  I began by planning just two days over Christmas, but then I got quite busy with a project and decided that a few more days were in order.  Then it became glaringly obvious that Christmas was past…and I had a hard time finding […]

A new year is on the way, and that means it’s time to refocus and clear the way for new things ahead. I thought this looked refreshing and welcoming. What do you think? As always, let me know if there are any problems.

Tummy Treasure is going to take a break for a few days to celebrate Christmas with family!  Have a wonderful couple of days and a very blessed Christmas! Here’s just a little something for you… The Hippopotamus Song

I know, you’re probably tired of seeing cookies posted on every single web page and blog these days, but these last two I simply have to talk about this morning.  The other day Andy mentioned how much he wanted some gingersnaps… I thought I wasn’t going to make any more […]

I think that’s a spectacularly valid question.  What do you do with frozen fruit?  I have a freezer full of frozen peaches, blueberries and strawberries.  The only thing I had earmarked to do with any of it was that I wanted to use some of the blueberries for blueberry pie […]

Last week I teased you with a rather incredible photo, and promised that I’d share the recipe when I could.  Well, today is the day, as the recipe is now up in the local paper.  I thought it would be bad form to post it here on the blog before […]

It’s Nutcracker week here in the Tummy Treasure household.  That means a week of craziness as we flit from school to rehearsal to bed to school to rehearsal…etc.  Cooking real food doesn’t really happen, despite the best of my intentions, but so far I have been managing.  Last night was […]

This morning before I sent Abigail off to school I packed her a cold lunch from home.  Most often, she chooses to eat the school lunch with her friends, but every once in a while, she looks at the menu and decides that something Mommy packs would taste much better.  […]

I was still in high school when I first began compiling recipes.  I think I was a Junior in school the first time I checked a book out of the library with the express intent of copying recipes down.  I was well aware that the clock was ticking, and in […]
