I shared this website the other day on one of the forums I frequent, and the site was subsequently cheered. Sprinkles by the pound? Oh yes. Yes, indeed. Country Kitchen Sweet Art has been my reliable source for anything and everything when it comes to cake and cookie decorating- as […]

Grilled Pineapple
At some point this past summer or early fall, we had a rare day at home that we could actively prepare a meal before we ate it. This may not sound like a big deal, but many days of the week finds us away from home at meal time. We […]
Updating A Favorite Stew
Several years ago I received a rather delicious stew recipe in my inbox. It was from food blogger Carolyn of Tasting Spoons, and it quickly became one of my favorites. I hadn’t made it in a while though, and several weeks ago I picked up a nice sized cabbage, because […]
NaBloPoMo, Day 9: Popcorn
How do you feel about popcorn? Popcorn has become the snack of choice around our house, and I am quite happy about that snack choice. With all the unhealthy options out there, it just doesn’t get much better than delicious freshly-popped (and locally grown) popcorn. You also can’t get much […]
Unexpected Pizza Toppings
One of the best things about making your own pizza at home is that the sky is the limit as far as what you can throw on a pizza. We’ve had some pretty spectacular pizzas that came about simply because I had a leftover bit of something in the fridge […]
A Muffin To Talk About
Yesterday was a day of change. It was the end of daylight savings here, which meant that we turned our clocks back an hour. This changed morning wake up time for my kids- they were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 6:30 in the morning. My Sunday morning routine also changed, as […]
Homemade Pizza Sauce
I almost forgot to blog today!! It’s Sunday, which means I am quit the busy beaver, and the little computer time I do have I tend to spend visiting a few online communities for a little bit. Today I have no free time, and yet, while I was making a […]
Underutilized Chickpeas
or Garbanzo Beans. Whatever it is you prefer to call them. Every single time I eat chickpeas I tell myself that we need to eat these beans more often. And then for some reason we don’t, and I can’t even give a good explanation for why that would be. They […]
A Sweet And Sour Satisfaction
As a mom cooking for kids, it can be a challenge to get said kids to be adventurous and try new foods. A month ago or so, we took advantage of a lazy Friday evening at home and ordered Chinese take-out, which was an adventure in itself because we seldom […]
Playing Vegan
Yesterday I successfully completed a 10 day vegan diet. This morning I woke up and promptly fried myself a pair of eggs and smeared a bagel with cream cheese. It sure tasted good. What began the 10 day diet was simply the fact that I hadn’t been feeling myself for […]
Squash Season
Winter squash season is one of my favorite food seasons. I absolutely adore butternut squash in any way it can be cooked. Sadly though, it’s one of those things I have not mastered growing in my garden. This year we had several generous friends share their squash bounty and I’ve […]
Hello November! NaBloPoMo Day 1
It was just twenty minutes ago that I was still sitting here at the computer this morning, debating if I really, honestly and truly wanted to give NaBloPoMo a go. I mean, actually committing to a post a day? What am I thinking!? I’m thinking that I miss getting all […]
