Over the last few years, our family has become a bit of a fan of lamb. We don’t have it very often because it is on the pricey side, but when we do have it, we’re all so happy. The thing is though, up until yesterday, we’ve only ever had […]

Incredibly Easy Enchiladas
I love enchiladas. I don’t make them near enough, because normally my kids don’t care for them so much. But they are a great way to use up leftovers in a completely different way. Pretty much anything can be rolled up into an enchilada! So I thought I’d share my […]
For The Love Of Pie
I know. You thought that I had let another Pi Day go by without nary a mention here on the blog. The fact was, I remembered it very well. I remembered it so well, that I decided to try a new-to-me pie. And then, not only was it a new-to-me […]
Dear Jamie Oliver,
It was the moment of ultimate irony last night. We were watching the introduction to your new show, Jamie’s Food Revolution, when breaking news cut in that congress had passed a health care bill. Health care that wouldn’t be as needed if the people in our country could learn to […]
Pepperoni Fun
When you make pizza as often as we do, which seems to be a lot lately, you’re always on the lookout for new pizza toppings. Granted, you can top them with just about anything and they turn out spectacularly. Take for instance, this amalgamation of pizza. Instead of pizza sauce, […]
Homemade Buttery Spread
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 […]
Real Food.
This is a post I’ve been mulling over for a while now. Every time I think about writing it, I discard the idea because it just sounds too preachy to me. (At least in my head.) I decided a long time ago to not get on the preachy soapbox when […]
Leftover Mashed Potatoes
If you’re anything like me, you always make too many mashed potatoes. Always. Most often, they end up just hanging out in the fridge until they grow fuzz and turn colors, and then they meet the garbage disposal. Not this time. I’m afraid I don’t have a real recipe, just […]
Back To Basics: A Perfect Bowl of Oatmeal
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 […]
Easy, Delicious Beans
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 […]
Company Worthy Bars With Little Effort
The other day I spent some time visiting some of the blogs in my sidebar. I don’t do that near often enough, and I had some spare time, so I puttered about checking out how some of my favorite bloggers are doing. When I saw this great big photo of […]
