Is the return of old favorites.  Although it does present a bit of a challenge to the blog sometimes.  I like to keep the recipes and the dialogue here at Tummy Treasure fresh and exciting, but after three-and-a-half years of blogging, there’s bound to be a repeat here and there […]

The very first time I had this recipe, Andy made it for me.  🙂  He had heard this on a radio call-in show and then looked up the recipe to make it for me for Mother’s Day.   Despite the fact that I now do all the cooking, my husband does […]

That canning applesauce is wickedly easy? Last year I made applesauce and froze it for future use.  I loved pulling applesauce out of the freezer from time to time.  I was going to do the same this year, but by golly if our freezer isn’t getting a bit snug!  What […]

I. Love. Muffins.  Show me a muffin and I will eat it.  Show me a pile of muffins and I will eat as many as I can.  There’s just something about a well-made muffin that makes my taste-buds sing with approval.  One of my favorite muffins to eat is a […]

Why, smother them of course, Tyler Florence style. Last Friday I had planned to make Salmon Chowder for dinner.  Then the weather decided to be nice and warm and a hearty chowder just didn’t fit the bill at all.  I peeked in the fridge to see what, if anything I […]

Sometimes making the conscious effort to feed my family un-processed food can be annoying.  Don’t get me wrong, I am always, always pleased with the results, and I like knowing what goes into our food, but there are times where you gaze wistfully at the freezer case at the store […]

A few days ago, my new friend and new-to-me blogger, Amanda of Amanda’s Cookin’ asked me if I’d be interested in helping her out with a little project.  She’s been given the arduous task of helping someone re-design and improve their websites and collections of recipes.  The two sites are […]

As I mentioned yesterday, I recently picked some Swiss Chard from my garden to blanch and freeze for using in soups and such this winter.  It’s a really quick process- not unlike the process for carrots, only the chard only takes 3 minutes to steam.  The stems need to be […]

There should really be a warning label on beets. Yesterday I began the long task of putting the garden to bed for the season.  We had two nights of frost this past weekend, and it looks like we have a few week reprieve before it comes back to stay.  So […]
