How To Utilize Dry Stuffing Cubes
I’ve been kicking around this bag of plain, dry stuffing cubes since the beginning of November. I had bought them for a recipe for the paper, and ended up only using one bag. Obviously, I could make stuffing with them, but I was really hoping to use them for something […]
The Easiest Sausage and Peppers
Here we have another quick and easy staple of our kitchen. Andy absolutely loves sausage and peppers. It’s one of those things that he seeks out if we go to a county fair or a festival, there’s always a stand selling hot sausage with peppers and onions. While it’s always […]
Another Missing Cookie…
I guess I really need to spend some time cooking the basics. It surprises me when I go into my Recipe Trove and I don’t find what I’m looking for. After making peanut butter cookies a few weeks ago and not finding them over there, I guess it shouldn’t have […]
Happy Birthday Zander!
Happy five-year-old birthday to my little handsome man! Five years!? How has the time flown by so quickly? It seems like it was just a short while ago that we were bringing you home for the first time in the frigid, frigid cold. You have brought such joy to this […]
Better Chops And Rice
Last week I had a craving. A craving for comfort in the form of a pan of rice and a pork chop. My original plan had been to cook them separately, and give the pork chops a nice breading. As dinner crept closer though, I could not get the idea […]
On Cereal and A Great Book
Last week for Kids Cuisine I wrote an article about a brand of cereal that we’ve been trying and really enjoying. This morning the kids cracked open another box of a variety we haven’t tried and inhaled it! So I thought I better tell my readers here that Mom’s Best […]
Peanut Butter Cookies
Yesterday was cookie day. Zander had recently asked if I could make some peanut butter cookies, and yesterday was as good a day as any to whip some up. I was shocked though, when I looked in The Recipe Trove and did not see a recipe for peanut butter cookies. […]
It’s A Quiet Week Here…
Maybe it’s the winter blahs. I hope not, as we still have an awful lot of winter to get through yet! Regardless the reason, it’s quiet here in the land of Tummy Treasure! While I’ve been baking or cooking daily, it’s been a lot of repeats lately, and recent repeats, […]
Frozen Tomatoes
This was one of the best things I ever did. Last summer, at the height of tomato season, I found myself running short of time. I didn’t have time to process tomatoes, and I didn’t have enough to really can or make salsa with. I didn’t want them to rot […]
Grits and Polenta
Last week we had two days of being holed up in the house. It was so cold and frigid, there was no school, and we kept ourselves busy inside. I think the kids ended up playing with play-doh for about eight hours, it so seldom comes out that they really […]
A Warm Hearty Bowl Of Comfort
Wow! It’s still frigid outside with a windchill of 33 below. The kids are home from school for a second day, and while we may send Daddy out to pick up a few things, we will be staying snug at home today. Yesterday, the planned dinner for the day had […]
