Do your kids absolutely love and will try every kind of vegetable imaginable? Congratulations! You have weird kids. My kids are not huge vegetable fans. They like corn, peas, and carrots — you know: the three basics. Beyond that, it’s an uphill battle to try to get them to eat other veggies. Enter the Alien [...]
I hadn’t made biscuits in a long time, but today my son is home sick. The poor kid has a high fever and is so lethargic. It’s impossible for me to concentrate on work even in short spurts while my child is ill, so I took the day off from work projects and snuggled my [...]
More than the idea that lack of money is holding people back from fresh, healthier foods, I believe it’s actually the lack of time that does us in. Even with my family’s crazy schedule, we try to have a homemade dinner together at the table every single night. It doesn’t always happen, and that’s ok, [...]
Shrimp is my favorite food. No wait: bacon is. No wait: pasta is. Oh look! Here’s a dish that can incorporate all three! Except, usually when I make it for lunch, I skip the bacon (yes, I know. I know. But it takes too long in the middle of a lunch day). This is my [...]
Sometimes I forget that I live in a bubble. It’s called Portland, Oregon, and it’s the most beautiful place on earth. Here in the PDX bubble, my house is situated smack dab in the middle of 3 different farmer’s markets. Within one mile from my house, there are no less than 6 different farms offering [...]
I don’t know why, but I’ve never liked the idea of a slow cooker. It seems to take the total JOY out of cooking: the lovely rhythmic dance relying on timing, chopping, stirring, taste-as-you-go fun. I am in love with the actual act and the art of cooking and baking. That said, I’m always game [...]
Hubby came home a little early tonight around 6. Me to husband: “I made cheese!” Husband stops in his tracks with a completely baffled look on his face: “You MADE cheese? Cheese?!” Me, with a big ol’ S.E.G. and pretty darn proud of myself: “Yes! Cheese!” Now, my husband hails from Switzerland, where they love [...]
It’s BRRRR cold outside, friends! If you’re looking for a quick, easy cold weather meal to warm your sassy selves this winter, this is it. I threw this together one night when I defrosted chicken thighs, but knew I didn’t want to make my teriyaki lemon chicken… yet again. It turned out surprisingly good…great, in [...]
I ran out of flour tonight. FLOUR. Of all things! We make baked goods at least once a week in this house, so it’s so odd to run out of the main ingredient in those baked goods. But, I promised the kiddos we’d make cookies, so I was determined to deliver on my promise. I [...]
Sometimes I stare into the abyss of my fridge, freezer and pantry and think “what on earth can I make for dinner tonight?” You guys & gals do this too sometimes, right? (If you don’t please just smile and nod). Sometimes it takes a few trips back and forth, mentally attempting to piece together ingredients. [...]
