Cooking Binge

I occasionally go on cooking binges. I don't mean eating binges. I mean cooking. This weekend has been a prime example. Friday night, I got the urge to cook all the things, so I made a grocery list. Those who know me know that I am not a "get up and get going" personality in … Continue reading Cooking Binge →

Weirdness from a 9 year old on food

Eleanor is 9, so sometimes, she's a super interesting tiny human. (She hates when I call her a tiny human, and in fairness, she is taller than every other kid in her grade and probably the grade above her.) However, kids at this age, while wildly frustrating at times, are also still in that most … Continue reading Weirdness from a 9 year old on food →

Cooking my stress away

My husband often thinks I look stressed in the kitchen. I'm sure I do. But in reality, cooking is my favorite form of stress relief. I'm one of those people who often has trouble shutting my brain off for even a few seconds. Yoga, while great, does not do it for me. I need something … Continue reading Cooking my stress away →

When is this food appropriate?

Some people believe there are certain seasons when you should eat certain foods. For example, soups and casseroles are typically thought of as foods good when it's cold outside. There are also people who think certain foods are for certain times of the day. The best example of this is that until recently, you could … Continue reading When is this food appropriate? →

Trying to feed the sick and the weary

Nothing is worse than when your kid gets sick. I don't care how old they are, you feel helpless in a way you never thought possible. I remember the very first time Melanie, my oldest, got sick. She was four months old. It was allegedly a cold. We ended up in the emergency room and … Continue reading Trying to feed the sick and the weary →

Dehydrating Foods

I purchased a rather inexpensive food dehydrator years ago because Melanie liked dried fruit so much, and stores charge an absurd amount for the smallest quantities. Seriously, they dried them. They didn't add gold dust, did they? But I've recently rediscovered this simple machine as an answer to my concerns about food waste, and it … Continue reading Dehydrating Foods →

Smoking in a Weber Kettle

I got a crazy idea to buy a grill a few years ago. I don't remember what inspired such an adventure. I think I hadn't been to the ballpark in a week or something and was craving a grilled brat. But it's been a couple of years, so who knows what was in my crazy … Continue reading Smoking in a Weber Kettle →

nutritional info

So my dad recently asked me to add calorie count and such for my recipes. While I could definitely see the usefulness of such information, I am hesitant. If I post nutritional information, and I've made an error somewhere in the calculations, what are my liability issues? Yes, I'm an attorney if you didn't know, … Continue reading nutritional info →

When the picky eaters get more picky…

I have previously shared some of my picky eater woes with the various members of my crew. Vegan, vegetarian, anti-winter produce, and such are a challenge. But these are no match for my pickiest picker of all. She's nine. Eleanor is not only picky about what foods she will eat. She's a vegetarian, but vegetarian … Continue reading When the picky eaters get more picky… →
