WFMW: Grandma’s Autumn Soup
Wednesday January 27, 2010Lately, it seems, whenever and whatever I make for dinner gets panned by my kids. It can be disheartening to work on a meal only to have it snubbed by the 6 and under crowd.

Tuesday November 17, 2009I’m a little late to the dance, but when I saw the theme for this week’s FMM, I knew I wanted to participate. The question is: What’s your favorite recipe this time of year?

Saturday November 7, 2009The bloggy baking club I’m in, The Half-Baked Beauties, is working its way through The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. I was excited to see that our next challenge was bagels.

Tuesday September 8, 2009If had been more organized, I would have participated in LAST week’s WFMW, the theme of which was, ahem… organization. Unfortunately, I’m not that organized. However, now that I officially have a child enrolled in elementary school, it’s time to get myself in gear. One of the things I’m dreading most this school year is [...]

Friday August 14, 2009My friend Renee did a great write up on what her family eats when they camp, so I thought I would share the one good camp food recipe we use when we camp. Like Renee, we minimize the actual work by doing as much prep as possible ahead of time. Also, when we cook, we [...]
