I really struggled with what to call this dish. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about the word “casserole” that conjures up images of mystery potluck dishes, funerals, or nights where mom just doesn’t want to think about feeding people and that’s definitely not the vibe I’m looking for here. Turning to the thesaurus… Read more »
We try not to eat out a lot (which is not always easy with over ten restaurants popping up in the last year within a two-mile-radius of our house), so when we do we try to make choices that we won’t regret. One of our favorite places is a quaint cafe that serves breakfast and… Read more »
I never thought I would learn the recipe for pure bliss at the age of twelve, but the first time I made these I knew I had found it. We had a guest teacher in my 4-H group who had previously worked for a little candy shop in my hometown and she told us that… Read more »
We’ve foolishly bought those giant packages of salad greens from Costco a few times in the past with delusions of our small family actually being able to eat all of it before it begins decomposing in our crisper.

My heart ached for her and her family and I desperately wanted to do something more than just take her dinner, but knew that the limitations of reality prevented… Read more »
No wait, come back. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I’m trying to make chocolate chip cookies healthy. You’re thinking I would adulterate the venerable chocolate chip cookie with whole grains to make it more nutritious so that we can all feel less guilty about having another one . . . or three. I’ve… Read more »

Sorry if this is disappointing, but the rolls have nothing to do with large predators. They are, however, the much talked about, fondly devoured rolls served at The Lion House in Salt… Read more »
Maybe it’s just a sign that I’m getting old, but I always feel pretty cruddy the day after Halloween. When the kids’ petition me for their Halloween bags I stare at them blankly wondering how their bodies aren’t screaming,”Vegetables, I need vegetables!” the way mine is. After fetching everyone a piece of candy, my guilty,… Read more »
