Apparently my children have much better constitutions than I. I’ve spent the last two days alternating between bed and the couch. Thank goodness it was the weekend and both Andy and Abigail were around. I think Andy got a good taste of being Mom and is happy to return to […]

I didn’t post this morning with the intention of making something delicious today and posting about it fresh out of the oven. Well, around noon today I took a break from my housework for the day, and haven’t been able to find my energy ever since. It’s like I’ve hit […]

I love oatmeal. My husband loves oatmeal. My kids think it’s okay, but it’s not their favorite. They’d rather have cold cereal any day. Usually though, if Andy wants oatmeal for breakfast before he heads to work he uses those microwave packets. Not all of them are bad- but not […]

I love my Cooking Light annuals. They have to be some of my favorite cookbooks, because I’m always using them. You never know when your tastes are going to change, and something you passed up a year ago now sounds great to you. Recently I made the Cheddar Chicken Chowder […]

Every year my Super Bowl menu is dictated by the host city. That tends to keep the menu varied as it moves from city to city, plus it can be challenge to come up with foods that match the host city- Detroit anyone? We love Super Bowl Sunday- it definitely […]

And even though I know everyone voted and agreed that Menu Planning 101 should happen here on Tummy Treasure, I’ve decided against that. The menu planning posts are getting quite long, and it also seems to me that they would be most effective compiled into one spot. So I’ve started […]

As soon as it was suggested to me the other day to make a curry with my languishing vegetables, I truly had no choice. I was consumed with the idea of making a vegetable curry, and I spent quite a bit of time looking for the perfect recipe. I couldn’t […]

I’ve been trying to think of the best plan of attack for menu planning…there are so many avenues that can be gone. But I think what we’ll do is just forge straight ahead down one way, one method of doing so, and then we’ll come back and try a second […]

I went back and forth on this all day…sort of. I just wasn’t in the mood to think about it, really. And as dinner would draw closer, I would tell myself to think of something for dinner, and then I wouldn’t. So dinner was inspired by leftovers anyway, because I […]

These are the things languishing in my fridge. In the photo below, I have 2 handfuls baby spinach, about 2 cups cubed butternut squash, 2 red bell peppers, half a bulb of fennel, 2 jalapenos, 1 pound of haricot verts, and about 2 cups of sugar snap peas. Not pictured, […]
