Eggrolls are NOT a good take-along food item. Boy, were they sad and mushy when reheated in the microwave. 🙁 I also had to laugh at myself after a conversation I had yesterday regarding these eggrolls. The day I went shopping was not ideal, and when I got to the […]

Crockpot Winner! Pork Chili
It was the ultimate in irony. I walked through the garden and harvested a small handful of tomatillos, and a small handful of Amish Paste tomatoes. It was the first harvest of tomatillos, and all I could think about was a delicious green pork chili. I had to have it, […]
Blueberry Lemon Cake
Our blueberries came in just as we were about to leave for our camping trip. I quickly made a batch of Blueberry Spice Jam before we left, ate all we could possibly hold, and took about 5 pounds with us on our trip. But I still had a ton left, […]
Fried Rice: Super Easy
Fried Rice is not generally one of my go-to dishes, or at least, it hasn’t been. Like casseroles and other one-pot-wonders, the kids have not historically been fans. However, their taste buds have been changing dramatically over these last months, and I’ve discovered it’s time to break out some of […]
Take It With You!
I think our new weekly schedule is pretty much set for the next eleven months or so. Now comes the tricky part of making that work. For sure one night a week, the kids and I will be taking dinner on the road with us. Two nights a week we […]
Fun With Miracle Fruit
About a year and a half ago, I found a TV show called “Future Food” on the Planet Green channel that I quickly got sucked into. It was a glimpse into the world of molecular gastronomy, only it had a bit of a twist. The owners of MOTO take molecular […]
Roasted Corn Cheese Dip
This is one of those recipes that is so much more than it seems. I found this recipe in my most recent issue of Eating Well magazine. I’d received the magazine the week we were getting ready to go camping, and the recipe really jumped off the page at […]
No Internet=No Fun
Whew. We totally enjoyed our week away in the woods, and there will most definitely be a blog post or two on the week we experienced. Specifically, I have a post planned to share a bit of our experience with some Miracle Fruit. But imagine being away for the week, […]
Freezing Blueberries
The single easiest act of food preservation you could ever do is freeze your own blueberries. You know how you go to a farmstand or a Farmer’s Market and you see those big 10 pound boxes of blueberries, and you wonder how you’d ever manage to use them all? Buy […]
Off To The Woods!
I closed comments on old articles so that I don’t have to deal with a truckload of spam when I return from our little vacay. You can always e-mail if you have a question, and I’ll get back to you sometime next week. Have a great week!
Taco Pie: A Leftover Solution
We have tacos or burritos quite a bit at our house. It’s just such a great, quick and easy meal. You can vary it by using different meats, cheese and veggie toppings, and it’s totally a make-ahead deal. It’s so easy for me to cook up meat, shred cheese and […]
Getting Organized
It’s slowly getting there around here. We’re in the home stretch of the first week of our new schedule, and I think it won’t take too long to figure things out. If I have it figured out right, we’ll have two meals a week that we take with us, three […]
