Wow! It’s still frigid outside with a windchill of 33 below. The kids are home from school for a second day, and while we may send Daddy out to pick up a few things, we will be staying snug at home today. Yesterday, the planned dinner for the day had […]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
According to the Weather Channel, as I write this, it is 15 below zero for actual temperature, with a wind chill of -38. I think we’ll do some baking today. And make a nice, hearty soup for dinner. Stay warm all!
Revisiting Some Favorites
One of the hazards of regular food-blogging is that I’m always looking to come up with new content. While that’s normally a great thing, and keeps me on my toes in the kitchen, it’s not very often that we see a repeat here. Or I’ll make something once, share a […]
Frozen Cookie Dough
Sometime back in November, I decided to make cookies for the kids. Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies, to be specific. As I was baking the cookies though, I was multi-tasking and doing something else, and before long, I was tired of baking up the cookies. So I thought about it […]
The Best Kitchen Help
Last week Thursday the kids were crabby. Terribly crabby. They couldn’t seem to do anything with complaining or fighting with each other. It was obvious they were suffering from a sleep shortage for some reason, and while a good night sleep was in the cards, it was the time before […]
The Formula For Quiche
Every time I make quiche or a frittata, I am always reminded how delicious they are, and that I should make them more often. For one reason, eggs are a pretty economical source of protein. For another reason, a quiche or a frittata is an excellent way to use up […]

Surprise Giveaway Today!
It’s a new month in a new year, and for many people, that means a return to wise eating and an attempt at a regular exercise schedule. I don’t know about all of you, but I hate that I go into the end of November feeling great, but by the […]
Tuna Surprise
This one was a complete shot in the dark. I had been flipping through an older cookbook- one of those infamous church organization cookbooks-and I saw this recipe for Tuna Patties. I don’t know what made me look at it more than once, but when I did, I saw that […]
Millet Madness
The very first time I read about the grain millet, I revolted. Literally. Who could even think about eating millet? It was birdseed… who on earth was the first person to look at a pile of birdseed and decide to cook it up? So I passed it by time and […]
Incredibly Easy Potato Wedges
Potato wedges are just one of those things that I don’t think to make very often. I have no idea why I don’t think of it… they’re so incredibly easy, and taste fantastic fresh out of the oven. Every once in a while I find myself buying a package of […]
Celebrating The New Year With Bread!
One of the gifts I gave for Christmas this year came back to me. 🙂 As I was picking out cookbooks to give to my family, I really had a difficult time wrapping some of them up! Very few of them did I actually have in my possession, and it […]
