By the time Abigail gets home from school every day she’s a starvin’ marvin. Lucky for me, she’s always been a fan of “healthy snacking.” Her favorite snacks are a piece of fruit or a bowl of veggies with dip. This year she has ballet twice a week, so I’m […]

Today’s recipe is almost on the line of the ridiculous as far as how easy it is. Literally, you drop ingredients into the pan. It could be considered difficult, if like me, you decide to dispatch a whole chicken, rather than use previously cut up chicken parts. However, I was […]

And it should be no surprise to anyone who has cooked from her book that this cake comes from the Queen of Deliciousness- Dorie Greenspan. When I realized that we were going to be spending time with my sister-in-law on her birthday, I immediately knew I had to make her […]

Well, she’s there. Day one of second grade has begun. Long time readers will remember that last year Abigail was in a class with no one she knew from kindergarten- so she was a little worried this morning. What a wonderful thing to walk up to her new teacher’s line […]

This first picture is from the Quatrain. It’s kind of a pre-cursor to jousting, with the knights challenging each other in accuracy. First they try to slice a cabbage with a sword while riding past on a horse, then they try to spear apples, and finally, they try to catch […]

Where did summer go? How is it that we are already at the threshold of the last weekend of summer, and the school year is knocking? Wow. I’m a little bummed. We’ve had a very nice summer, combining busy-ness with lazyness and the kids have been playing together rather remarkably. […]

Chicken thighs are one of those things that I never used to purchase. When I bought chicken it was in one of three ways. It was either whole, whole and cut up or it was chicken breasts. On a very rare occasion we would pick up a package of wings, […]

I love green salsa. I learned to make it a few years ago from a variety of sources, but I simply do not make it often enough. I have been seeing green salsa more and more on store shelves, but it is really not the same as making your own […]

With all the produce going in and out of the kitchen, this past week we discovered that the fruit flies had decided to make their home here. Not many, but where there are few, many usually are not far behind. This meant that a bunch of nicely browned bananas needed […]

I’m contemplating my current method of posting about recipes here on Tummy Treasure and posting the actual recipe in the Recipe Trove. I like it because it keeps all of my recipes together in one place, but I’m wondering if I should put the recipes here on Tummy Treasure too. […]

Yesterday while school shopping, we wandered down the lunchbox aisle in search of a thermos for Abigail. I have to say, lunchboxes have come a long way in just a few years. If we didn’t have the laptop lunchbox already, it would have been hard to choose from. But we […]
