Pandemics and Pantries
Hey, folks. I hope you are all staying healthy and sane amidst these challenging times. Other than wishing health and ease to everyone, all I can do is continue to offer what I have: food options. These are all foods that can be cooked up from pantry items or minimal...
Super Food Your Super Bowl
Hey, hey, hey, today's the big game! Are you watching? Hosting? Is your team playing? Our team got knocked out, so we are not as invested, but we will likely watch some anyway, if only for the commercials. And...it's a good excuse to hang around with good eats! If you...
Hey, Hey, It’s Superfood Sunday!
Hello and Happy Sunday! Glad you are here because I have something to talk about. It's superfoods. I am guessing you have heard this term - it's been a bit of a buzz word in recent years. In a nutshell, a superfood is a food that packs a lot of nutrition into its...
What Do I Do With All These Bits?!? A Tale of Carrot Pudding, Smashed Pea Toasts and Refrigerator Soup
So, I have have this meal plan, for subscribers. I also plan meals for my family. I try to have it make sense so that I don't end up with too many random bits but, inevitably, there are some. Since I hate waste (so much), I refuse to let the bits die, but rather...
Shake off the Winter Doldrums With Spring On a Pizza
Welp, there it is. My first grass covered sneaker Saturday morning - the first of plenty. Cutting the grass is one of those chores that I not only don't mind, but actually kind of enjoy, especially at the beginning of the season. I get so tired of the gray by the end...
Apples and Celery
Do you ever want something, but not really that thing, but kind of that thing, so you have to come up with a new thing? Like when it sounds good to be lounging on the beach in the warm sun with an over the top cocktail but it's winter and vacation is months away so...
Who Doesn’t Love a Sheet Pan of Chocolate Chip Bars?
Sometimes, you just need chocolate chips cookies, but sometimes, you need them to be in ooey gooey bar form. Then, sometimes, you need them to be in ooey gooey bar form for a lot of people because, really, isn't it best to share the love? That's where I was when I...
Soup’s Last Gasp
Has Spring finally sprung where you are? It hasn’t really here in New England, but it’s very close! It has teased us, poking a toe out here and there, calling a little “yoohoo!” from around a corner. I am optimistic, though, that it will come on out for real very...
National Grilled Cheese Month!
What do you crave? What treat do you go for regularly and wouldn't want to give up? For many the choice would be something sweet - ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies, a rich cake or piled high ice cream sundae. While I like a good dessert, I could go on ok with my life...
Back to School Calls for Mac and Cheese. Plus Other Stuff.
The first day back to school after a vacation is always a tough one. The week of later bedtimes, days of freedom and lowered demands make the return to regular life feel a little grind-y (for me as well as the kids). To ease the transition I like to have something...
Throw It All the Wall and See What Sticks
Sometimes, that's the method I take when writing a recipe or making dinner. Try stuff out, see what happens. Little bit of this, little bit of that, riff on one thing or another. Case in point, recently I had in mind the makings of a gratin. However, we have a family...
Dinner Becomes Breakfast
Sometimes, dinner turns into breakfast. Sometimes this happens when the leftovers are so delicious, you don't want to wait until lunch to have them. Sometimes, you get up early to enjoy your quiet kitchen and make dinner for later in the day, or test a recipe for your...
