Nope. 🙂 Not this one. This is a sneak peak of one to come. Yesterday I put the finishing touches on a pair of recipes for the paper, so this is kind of a teaser for the local readers. Doesn’t it look fantastic! Trust me when I say it really […]

Whew, I almost forgot it was earth day, even though some earth day thoughts have been on my mind.  I do have a food post for later today, but since it is Earth Day, I thought this would be a perfect time to talk about what’s on my mind.  And […]

I know, it may be a little early to start, but I figure I should get into the habit of blogging about the garden.  I’m trying all kinds of crazy and new things this year- both the method and the vegetables I’m growing.  About a month ago I finally got […]

I had to try them! I simply had to know what kind of a cookie would win one million dollars. A cookie that good, regardless of how many pre-made products it uses should be quite good. I only made one change to the recipe as written, and that was with […]

This week I had the opportunity to do something a little different.  I broke out of my comfort zone and did a little recipe demonstration this week.  It’s not the first time I’ve done such a thing, but let me tell you, it was much easier to do it for […]

After being very pleased with the buttery sticks and their performance in this weekend’s cake, I needed to put the remaining sticks to the test in several different ways.  I wanted to see if they truly performed like butter, and how the flavor compares. I started with chocolate chip cookies. […]

On Sunday we had a whole pile of wild-caught salmon fillets, and no idea what to do with them, other than that they were going on the grill.  Our favorite salmon treatment is a maple-glazed salmon.  It is excellent, but I was out of real maple syrup, and I didn’t […]
