I really don’t have anything new to add today as far as a recipe goes. Tonight we had a classic meal of Hot Dogs and French Fries- as requested by my dear son. However, Abigail said one of the cutest things to day. She brought home some schoolwork that she […]

Last night was fun. I hinted at it in my previous post, but I just didn’t have time to post more last night. Poor Zander was needing his Mommy after spending the day playing really hard.Anyway, last night I made an empty-the-fridge sort of Mexican meal, and it was awesome! […]

My pumpkin challenge for the weekend is officially over. A big thank you to Elizabeth for finishing it for me with her pumpkin flan. It was quite good, and I have the recipe here from her, so we all cna have some caramelly flan goodness. It was somewhat reminiscent of […]

And to be completely honest, it’s just not going as well as I had hoped. I am completely intrigued by the pumpkin. I have always enjoyed pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, but I’ve never enjoyed it as the vegetable it really is. So far I have to say, I like […]

Did not go so well at times today. After the fire fiasco, I should have known better than to attack something even remotely tricky. First I cooked up Abigail’s pumpkin. It most definitely is not a pie pumpkin. 🙁 It’s missing a sweetness that is in the pie pumpkins, and […]

Those darn drip pans catch fire!!! 😮Yeah…um, last night while my potato-leek soup simmerd away, I had to get supper going for the kids. Abigail requested Blue’s Clues Mac-N-Cheese. Worked for me. I put the pot of water on the burner and walked away. Zander asked to go downstairs to […]

This last week I picked up some yukon gold potatoes and some leeks to make a new recipe in this months Cooking Light, Golden Potato-Leek Soup with Cheddar Toasts. I wasn’t quite sure when I was actually going to make it- but today at Sam’s I got my hands on […]

Part of being a foodie is being open to trying new foods. So I have decided that another facet to my blog should be product reviewing. I mean, I rave about websites, blogs, and cookbooks. Why not a new product that I think everyone should have! The first product I […]

Mice! This morning, Zander and I went to church to do my weekly cleaning. Now, I know there has been at least one mouse who has taken up residence in our church. I clean every week and am frequently taking care of the tiny droppings. Andy has put out those […]

Yesterday I had another happy moment in the kitchen. I recently picked up The Bread Bible and made my first recipe out of it. It was a simple hearth bread- and a little involved- but the end product was so wonderful. I don’t know why I avoided that book for […]

Anyone who has read Dean Koontz’s Watchers will appreciate the title to today’s post. Probably the best he’s ever written. I have read it so many times, and it still affects me when I read it. 🙂 SO I’m not posting much today- I apologize for that. The fiddle is […]
