Here we are, day 30! To be honest, I’m a little stunned that I actually managed to get a bit of blogging done every single day in November. This included some seriously sick (or sick kid) days as well as several days of Thanksgiving. And Sundays! Sundays are one of […]

Do You REALLY Know Where Your Food Comes From?
Today I read a pretty disturbing article on MSN about the process of reconditioning food. The mere idea is… just appalling. One of the examples given was of moldy applesauce, where the mold is scraped off, and then the remaining applesauce reheated and reprocessed and then served up all over […]
Instead of Cool Whip?
I can’t remember the last time I bought a tub of Cool Whip, but I know for a fact that when I did, it was because it was a required ingredient in something. I definitely haven’t bought it for topping desserts, because that’s what real whipped cream is for. One […]
Corn Syrup Free Pecan Pie
I went back and forth on trying this pie for Thanksgiving. I had never seen a pecan pie recipe that didn’t call for corn syrup, and I wasn’t entirely convinced it would work out. I have pretty high standards when it comes to pecan pie! After mulling it over for […]
Post-Thanksgiving Thoughts
As I’ve been going through my month of NaBloPoMo, I’ve been reminded of one of the major reasons I started blogging in the first place. And that is because it is a way to look back and remember things gone by. A sort of journaling, only better, because I can […]
The Best Of Thanksgiving 2011
Just two quick pictures here to share! First, the turkey. Seriously. Why do I make this turkey only ONCE a year? It’s so FREAKING delicious, that it should come out more than once. Secondly, Pie Hour. Look at all these luscious pies. Each and every one turned out spectacular. Oh […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
From the Tummy Treasure home to yours! May your Thanksgiving be full of tasty food, wonderful friends and family, and lots of things to be grateful for. Today is day one of our multi-day Thanksgiving celebration. Zander and I woke up feeling much better, though breakfast is REALLY slow going […]
Tummy Troubles
So Zander and I are dealing with a lovely case of food poisoning, which we’re hoping goes away quickly so we can both have appetites for the days of feasting ahead. I’ve gotten very little sleep, and don’t feel so hot, but, doggone it, I was not about to miss […]
A Few Pie Suggestions
Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and maybe you’re a little like me- still debating over the pie offerings. I’ve shared about our Pie Hour festivities already, so you know I need to have a decent variety to dazzle the guests. But what to make!? That is the question […]
Monday Morning Turkey PSA
If you have purchased a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving this year, and you are planning to cook it Thursday, your bird should now be moved to the refrigerator for thawing. As far as anything else goes for the big meal, today you can assemble your homemade pie dough into disks […]
Who Needs Pie Or Cookies…?
When you still have scads of Halloween treats laying about! My time is fleeting today, and I just couldn’t let a day go by without a post, so this is going to be one of the shortest on record. While I was thrilled for my kids with their Halloween bounty […]
Seasonal Eating- Yum!
Thursday was the first time I bought a bag of oranges since… probably later February. Oh, are they spectacular. They’re not even the sweetest and juiciest oranges of the citrus season, but they are a welcome change from the apples of fall that we’ve been eating with reckless abandon. Several […]
