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 […]

Last night’s planned meal was a pork chop dinner. I was planning to roast up a butternut squash, and I thought pork chops would be the ideal accompaniment for the squash. I picked up my chops from the grocery store, but at the time, I really gave no thought to […]
Easy Winner Crock-Pot Chicken Dinner
I had planned a simple chicken dinner yesterday. I had a pile of chicken thighs in the freezer, so my plan had been to pull them out and simply bake them with some rice and serve some green beans on the side. My problem with that plan was timing- we […]
Zucchini Cakes
I had the perfect zucchini plant in the garden this year. It wasn’t overly productive, giving us just one or two small zucchini at a time, and then waiting a few days before pushing out another one. Only once did I miss a zucchini and end up with a monster […]
Let’s Talk About Fake Milk
With the holidays approaching, and many gatherings of people taking place, I thought it might be helpful to post a few things that I’ve learned about alternative milks. There are few things more frightening for a host than the dreaded words “I’m allergic to…” Over the years I’ve done plenty […]
How About A Cookie?
Everyone loves cookies, but I have found that everyone especially loves M&M Cookies. And at that, they especially love jumbo M&M Cookies. They are consistently so loved, that I’ve pretty much determined that these are my standard bake sale cookie. Their jumbo size makes them stand out from the rest […]
