When I first saw today’s recipe featured on Serious Eats, I was drawn to it. The fact that it was described as “Clam chowder on spaghetti” totally sold me to the idea that I needed to try and make this dish. But there was one tiny thing standing between me […]

Hey Baby, Check Out My Low-Rider
Am I the coolest Mom ever or what? These handsome little Bunny Racers are what Zander is taking to preschool today for their Easter celebration. Yes, it is pretty much 100% sugar, but hey, I’m not helping out today. 😉 Sure wish I could claim the credit for the idea […]
It Must Be Wednesday
Which means that yesterday was Tuesday and a crock-pot dinner day. While it was a good one, Tomato and White Bean Soup, it is something I’ve mentioned several times before. Yes, it is fantastically delicious, much better than the sum of its parts, but I don’t really have anything exciting […]
I Need To Know What YOU Think!
I’ve been rolling around a small dilemma in my head this week about this blog, and I can’t come to a good conclusion- I keep changing my mind. So I thought, who better to ask than the lovely people who keep coming back to read my blog! Here is the […]
Impostor Cheese
Over the last few months, I’ve seen a lot of posts in blog-land regarding making homemade cheese. The idea has always intrigued me, and I’ve often thought about how fun it would be to learn to make artisanal cheese. One of the reasons, I’m sure, that we’ve been seeing cheesemaking […]
Back To Basics: Brownies
First though, my apologies. I mentioned something cool and exciting coming out of my kitchen today… unfortunately, I didn’t realize the process I was undertaking was a multi-day process, so you’ll just have to bear with me and wait-and-see. If it all works out, it’s going to amaze me, that’s […]
A Variation of Red Beans and Rice
So two days ago, I saw a recipe on Serious Eats that completely intrigued me. I’ve been keeping my eye out for a recipe for Red Beans and Rice to try, and this one really stuck out. I loved the picture of it, and while it was on my mind […]
Bloggy Inspiration
One of the things I love most about the blogging community as a whole is its ability to inspire. A week or so ago, when visiting some of my favorite blogs, I saw a mention of a Pasta with Roasted Carrot Sauce, which came from a cookbook I also have, […]
Pardon Me, Do You Have Any Grey Poupon?
Specifically, this one: This is their new Harvest Coarse Ground mustard, and it’s fantastic. I bought it last week because I needed a coarse dijon mustard. I really wanted the Grey Poupon coarse mustard, but my grocer had the creamy dijon and this one. At the same price, I took […]
Hello, Breakfast!
Don’t you think? There is no better time of day for an ooey-gooey Blueberry Pudding Cake than breakfast.
Back To Basics: Meatballs
Well, my original intention had been to try and do a Back To Basics post about once a week, but this just seemed like to good of an opportunity to pass up. There really aren’t many food items as adaptable as a basic meatball. Why, with just one meatball recipe […]
Adaptability Is Key
When you’re pinching pennies and trying to ‘make do’ with what you have on hand, it’s really integral to get a feel for substituting when cooking. There have been plenty of times where I’ve been in the middle of making something and had to put everything on hold to run […]
