When I was asked if I could do some blogging on Real Food, one of the suggestions was to blog about what convenience foods I find acceptable, or good. I’ve been mulling that one over, because my idea of convenience foods are probably not the same as many others ideas. […]

Make It And Freeze It
After posting the recipe for homemade Taco Seasoning yesterday, it occurred to me that I really ought to say something as a reminder that when you make taco meat, you should really make more than you need, and then freeze the extra for another time. Really, you’re already investing in […]
Make It Yourself: Taco Seasoning
Who doesn’t like tacos? Very few people I’ve come across, that’s for sure! So when we had a family get-together this past weekend that included kids of all ages, I decided that tacos would be the ideal solution to a “please-most-palates” dinner. We did it simply, with basic taco toppings, […]
Easy, Easy Baked Pasta
Delicious to boot, THIS is the type of food I’m talking about when I’m talking about Real Food. Today I have a recipe to share for Baked Rigatoni With Ham, Tomatoes and Feta Cheese. Now, if you’re not a fan of feta, ham or tomatoes, don’t look away yet, because […]
By Request: Real Food

Tomato Bowl 2011 Travels To India
Apparently I took a global approach with the Tomato Bowl this year! Yesterday I was looking at my selection of Red Gold canned tomato products, and I wondered if I’d picked up enough. They really have quite the selection of products on the shelves at stores these days, and I […]
Tomato Bowl 2011: Multi-Purpose Mediterranean
One of the things that I was contemplating doing with Red Gold tomatoes during the Tomato Bowl was a salsa of sorts. If you’ve spent any time here at the blog you know that I have a fondness for homemade salsa- but that I usually make it at the height […]
Continuing The Tomato Bowl, Manhattan Style
I love clam chowder. Love it, love it, love it. But the chowder I love is white, creamy, laden with cream, potatoes and clams. A real chowder doesn’t have any flour or added thickeners, it just lets the potatoes and the cream do their thing and thicken it up just […]
Tomato Bowl 2011: Elevation
With Game Day rapidly approaching, you can bet that there is a whole lot of menu planning going on right now. Perennial favorites for Packer fans include pretty much anything on a bun, but especially bratwurst. Even during this time of year, the grilling machines will be unearthed from the […]
