Despite all the recent treat-indulging over the holidays, I had determined that I wanted to make a cake for New Years. We didn’t have any special plans, but I thought Abigail especially would enjoy marking the occasion with at least a little something. I had a box of unsweetened chocolate […]

Soup of The Week: French Lentil and Vegetable
I have had this recipe from Ina Garten in my “to try” pile for…hmm, well, at least two years. When I first printed it out it was getting raves on a bulletin board I spend time visiting. What kept me from making it was having all the ingredients on hand, […]
Why Is It…
This is a new year. It’s a great time to start over and re-focus and maybe try something new. For many, it’s a great time to refocus their eating habits and perhaps lose an extra pound or two. That is fantastic- there really isn’t a better time to do so, […]
I used to hate these…
Literally. I would smell my mom cooking potato pancakes from my bedroom, and literally start gagging. Oh, how much I hated potato pancakes! I don’t know what it was about them, maybe simply because they were called pancakes, and in my mind pancakes were sweet and meant to be eaten […]
Ending 2007 On A High Note!
Andy asked for potstickers the other day. As soon as he mentioned it, I started craving them myself. If there was one Chinese food that I love above all and could eat every day, it would be a potsticker. The delicious ground pork filling wrapped in a won ton skin […]
2008 Food Goals
Well, here is this next year’s list. We’ll see how we do. Some I plan to concentrate on more than others, and I admit that I had a difficult time coming up with 10 specific goals, but we’ll see how I do. 1. Focus more on Flexitarian eating. What do […]
That Barefoot Contessa Is Trouble!
Because this was seriously one of the best eggs I have ever eaten. Andy is going to be all sorts of sad when he sees this post and sees what he missed out on, but hey, a girl’s got to eat sometimes. This started as an egg moment. I reached […]
A Very Simple Supper
Yet one the whole family enjoyed. The dinner idea began with a package of chicken wings. Everyone in the family enjoys chicken wings. They’re fun to eat, and there are countless ways to prepare them. Last night, it was simply baked. I’d sprinkled them liberally with seasoning salt, pepper, and […]
So How Did I Do?
I thought it would be fun to look back at my food goals for 2007 and see how badly I did. 🙂 When I made this list last December, I expected normal life for most of the year. What actually happened was that I spent a majority of the year […]
What to Cook, What to Cook…?
Pretty fun looking huh? I have been pining for this wok for a long time. Steamed Dumplings anyone? To go with this gorgeous piece of kitchen equipment, a very nice cookbook that has me drooling for some Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian, as well as all the other cuisines well-represented. […]
Merry Christmas from Tummy Treasure!
A Very Merry Christmas from my family to yours! We’ll be busy celebrating the wonderful holiday over the next few days. I’ll be back soon with an analysis of this year’s food resolutions, a look ahead to next year, and of course, plenty of new recipes to fill your tummies […]
Last Minute Gift Idea?
Try this one. Sorry I forgot to snap a picture, but everyone who’s had it has enjoyed it completely. I would have never thought of peanut brittle as a great gift- but apparently it works great because I have to keep buying peanuts to make more! You can certainly use […]
