No, really. It began with an episode of No Reservations, and seeing Anthony Bourdain travel to Spain. (This link will take you to the video clip.) While he was in Spain, he spent some time at some one’s house where they were picking large green onions.  They proceeded to take […]

I was all excited to post today.  Last night as I prepared a new recipe for dinner, I just imagined the post I would write, about how we all simply loved the fish I’d made and that it really was a fantastic recipe.  Except that, of course, my kids hated […]

And that means a new look is in order!  As always, please let me know if you have any problems or suggestions and I will do what I can.  So far I think I’m pleased with it, but I’d love to know what you think!

As regular readers may know, it’s few and far between that I find an actual crock-pot recipe that I love.  Most often, my crocks are used simply for keeping food warm, whether for company or while we are away just before dinner.  It’s very seldom that I actually use the […]

One of my kids absolute favorite meals is tomato soup and grilled cheese.  Don’t ask me where they get that from.  For one, I don’t much care for the standard canned tomato soup, and two, I really don’t like my grilled cheese dunked in it.  But for some reason, when […]

Of course, when I say homemade honey, I don’t mean the type of honey that I would gather from not-so-friendly bees.   With the tail end of this year’s pear crop just screaming at me to be used, I was looking for something new and different.  I already had canned pears, […]

Today is a special day to Andy and I, as it marks the beginning of our tenth year as a married couple.  Yikes!  We’ve been married for nine years today and even more enchanted with each other than we’ve ever been.   We’ll be spending the weekend ahead in the Twin […]

*Be sure and check back with me tomorrow, as I announce the first ever giveaway here on Tummy Treasure! You don’t want to miss it! Hey, we can’t win them all. The September issue of Cooking Light magazine has a feature this month on comfort foods and cravings.  They have […]

Yesterday I found I had a craving for cake.  To top it off, I was flipping through the most recent issue of Cooking Light when I saw a cake which I thought I had all the ingredients for.  It looked easy enough, and it had mixed reviews on the CLBB, […]

Yesterday for Sunday Company Dinner, I decided it was time to make a “Passport to Fall” dinner.  It was one of those meals where we’re not totally ready to be done with summer yet, but the crisp in the air has us beginning to crave the flavors and nuances of […]

🙂  Seriously, this was one of the more fun things I ever cooked. A few weeks ago we walked into Barnes & Noble to pick out a few new books.  We usually march straight back to the kids section, but this time, Abigail stopped short.  She stopped and picked up […]
