It seems like every other day we’re hearing something new in the land of food and nutrition.  One day eggs are bad for you, the next day they are the new superfood.  One week we’re hearing about how soy is excellent for heart health, and the next we see warnings […]

Perhaps I should have. When my daughter requested a Star Wars cake for her birthday, I thought it would be fun to figure something out.   But have you ever google searched for Star Wars cakes?  There are an awful lot of bad ones out there.  And while I already know […]

This little beauty is nine years old today! I’m a bit in shock- that I can be a mom to a nine-year-old girl!  A nine-year old who has asked for a Star Wars cake for her birthday.  She’s clearly my daughter, but wish me luck on the cake… I’m not […]

We’ve been in a bit of a rut this summer as far as food goes.  The weather has just been…well, different, so the usual parade of grill fare just hasn’t been making the rounds.  Usually in the summer, the kitchen takes more time off, but since we haven’t had the […]

…Or… Why I Haven’t Been Blogging As Much Lately. I’ve been blogging now for nearly four-and-a-half years.  When I think about all that has gone on in this time period, it’s simply amazing.  All I have to do is go back to my first posts and see where I’m talking […]

A few weeks ago, when the blueberries came in, I had a million things on my plate at one time- including preparing for a week-long family camping trip.  Sadly, this year, even though I ordered more blueberries, I just didn’t get a chance to play around with them.  Lucky for […]

Or maybe it is?  Our weather has been so wonky this summer, one day it feels like soup or stew weather, and the next it’s a salad day.  However, the salad days have actually been few and far between.  And as to the soup, well, I adore a good bowl […]

The other day I made a rather delicious summer-inspired soup for dinner.  The soup was tasty, but texturally, it was missing something.  With soft beans and zucchini inside, it really needed something to give it a little crunch.  Normally, it would have been the perfect opportunity to crisp up some […]

Last week we had an appetizer-laden week at Tummy Treasure, and this week, it’s all about vegetables. I’ve been playing around with issues of Vegetarian Times this week, and have had quite a few success to share. Specifically, they’ve all been vegan recipes, so they are all ideal for many […]

Today’s party appetizer is so delicious, that I wonder why I haven’t tried it before.  It also happens to be wickedly easy.  I simply put all the ingredients into my food processor and turned it on, then let it sit in the fridge overnight to develop the flavors.   The next […]

When I was planning to help out with the wedding last weekend, I was looking for a few things that were going to be different than what you’d typically see at a Wisconsin party. So I asked around online, and asked people in other parts of the country, what kind […]
