Sometimes when I blog, write a recipe, or even talk about food, it doesn’t occur to me that someone may not know what I am talking about. When I did a cooking demonstration at the beginning of the month, it never occurred to me that the group of women there […]

Encouragement To Plant
I don’t really have a recipe to share today, we had a bit of an easy weekend in the kitchen, nothing super exciting really. I did do a bit of seed starting though and I just wanted to take a minute to encourage all of my blog readers to consider […]
BBQ Chicken Pizza
In my continuing quest to use all leftovers, yesterday I found myself stumped by some leftover BBQ chicken. Tuesday night while we were at dance class, Andy made some BBQ chicken on the charcoal grill, and while it was delicious, there was a bit leftover, yet not really enough to […]
Confessions: I Do Make Mistakes
I don’t have a new recipe today, but I thought everyone would get a kick out of seeing that I do make radical errors in the kitchen from time to time. Last week is the perfect example. I got it in my head to make a batch of Challah, only […]
Old Fashioned Comfort Food
Yesterday, while cleaning up the kitchen, I remembered that I had a loaf of Challah sitting around that was almost a week old. It needed to be used or tossed, and I decided it had been so long since we had bread pudding, and I needed to rectify that. I […]
The Last of the Chard
One of the many things I learned about Swiss Chard last year is that it is very garden hearty, and also a biennial. That means that when I plant seeds in April, I get chard all season long from that one seed. No lie. I had chard anytime I wanted […]
After Years of Bread Baking…
I have finally found the PERFECT sandwich bread. I have had a sandwich bread that I make, and it’s good, it’s tasty, especially fresh out of the oven, but I always thought it could be better. There just was something about it that I thought could be improved, but what […]
Dreaming Of Spring!
It’s soooo springlike outside today, and I am just dying for the snow to all be gone. It may take a few days, but with geese flying north, and a robin sighting here and there, spring is finally on it’s way. I thought it was time for a new look […]
Spaghetti And Meatball Soup
I’ve hesitated about sharing this one, because I feel like I was doing a little…channeling of Aunt Sandy (if you know what I mean). When I came up with the idea, it was after a quick glance through the freezer- and the small freezer bag of meatballs I had in […]
Leftover Pork, Part 3
Over the last few years, during Andy’s lay-off time, I have not posted a lot of the dinners and such that we eat around here. Quite honestly, much of it I wouldn’t consider “blog-worthy”, meaning it doesn’t take a great photograph, or there’s just nothing truly special about it. There’s […]
Pork Roast: Part Two
When faced with a whole pile of leftover pork roast, quite often, I don’t know what to do with it. Many times, it just sits in the fridge until it turns grey,and then it gets tossed. Other times, I’ll scoop some up, mix it with BBQ sauce and serve it […]
Cook Once, Eat At Least Twice
Several weeks ago, our local grocery store had a ridiculously low price on pork products. It was all 99 cents a pound, regardless of the cut you bought, so we picked up several pork shoulder roasts to put in the freezer, along with some pork steaks. We love pork roasts, […]
