Yesterday I decided to play with Christmas candy.  I know, I know, I have Thanksgiving to plan and I’m getting ahead of myself and thinking of the Christmas Candy.  What can I say- it has cooled down a lot, and the idea of working with hot sugar is strangely appealing […]

Until Thanksgiving-which means I had better start my planning. The only given is the turkey, the blueberry pie and the pecan pie.  Everything else is up in the air for me so far, as I really have not been thinking about it.  Shame on me!  So as my thoughts begin […]

As we continue the march on towards the holiday and gift-giving season, (yes it really is just around the corner), I thought I’d share with you one of the best cookbooks that I’ve received this year.  I have eyed this cookbook up on and off throughout the years, and I […]

I picked the last bunch of kale from the garden the other day, and while the previous harvests have gone straight to the freezer, I knew I wanted to use this last bit in a soup or stew of some kind.  I’ve never had kale, but I had high hopes […]

Yesterday after voting early in the morning, I was kind of riding a high all day.  It felt great to take part in the voting process!  So I rode that high and got busy tackling some projects around the house.  The first was to use those really brown fruit-fly attracting […]

I’m going to go vote this morning.  I’m very excited to do so- to be a part in this historic election.  No matter the outcome, I’m thrilled to participate, and I’m looking forward to seeing who our new president is going to be.  And whether it’s the person I’m voting […]

Well, today’s a work day at Tummy Treasure, as I’m working out the kinks on a few recipes for the newspaper this morning.  Hopefully, I’ll have a recipe or two to share as the result of my work, but for now, that means not much to post today.  🙂  However, […]

To not make this: And my photo doesn’t even look near as delicious as Recipe Girl’s!  So today, I’m simply going to direct you to her site, and her recipe, and her photos, because let me assure you,  this stuff is delicious and highly addictive.  And you really should make […]

My kids love popcorn.  It’s one of those things that I just never think of when it comes to snack time- but I really should! It’s delicious in so many guises, and it’s relatively healthful as well.  The other day, I had a hankering for caramel popcorn loaded with nuts, […]

I’m sure I’ve said before that I’m not big on fruit with my meat at meal times.  There have always been exceptions, of course, like applesauce with pork chops, pineapples in sweet-n-sour chicken, but for the most part, the idea of cooking fruit and meat together just doesn’t appeal to […]

Last week was Andy’s birthday, and while he wasn’t home on his birthday, I did promise him a cake when he arrived home on Friday.  I asked what kind he would like, expected to hear him say carrot, but was surprised when he decided that he wanted a chocolate cake […]

Yesterday I was struck with a sudden craving for soup.  I had originally planned to make a frittata for dinner, but then I forgot to make a milk run on Wednesday, and Thursday morning breakfast became scrambled eggs and toast, so eggs twice in one day would have been a […]
