Happy belated Halloween! I hope everyone had a spooky, wonderful holiday full of tricks, treats and enough sugary bliss to last until the turkeys thaw for Thanksgiving! I love Halloween for a lot of reasons, but I think I love it most because it’s the official kickoff to my favorite time of year. Yahoo, holiday…
Fall favorites: Spice-filled scones, oatmeal and cookies galore!
Last night while clicking through baby-related inspiration on Pinterest, I came across a recipe for labor cookies. Have you heard of those? Apparently, whipping up and consuming a batch of these puppies is a surefire way (notice the use of the word “apparently”) to meet your new baby bean before the week is over. Of…
Challah, you’re the flavor I was missing
From the time I was in first grade through third grade, my family lived in Germany, and during that first year overseas, we lived in Egelsbach, a little German town near the Air Force base where my dad was stationed. I have a lot of great memories from our time there — spaghetti ice from…
The Breakfast Club: Pumpkin waffles
It seems I can’t say enough about the merits of an A+ kind of breakfast (OK, I probably can — and have — said enough about my love of breakfast foods, but surely someone else out there shares my love of starchy AM goodness). I think I could eat breakfast for every meal of the…
We’re Southern now, y’all. And we’re cooking up cornbread.
Weekends are funny things. We spend all week looking forward to having a few days off, only to find that those few days fly by so fast, we’re left wondering what in the world we did with all the extra time. Saturdays are especially rascally that way. It’s typically the one day a week that…
Once upon a time, three apples found their destiny
Earlier this week, three forgotten apples sat quietly at the bottom of our refrigerator. The produce drawer is a lonely place to be, I suspect, especially when you’re the last guys left until the next trip to the grocery store. Actually, I’ve always been rather hesitant about using the refrigerator drawers just because of the…
Hi, old friend: Pumpkin scones
I know I’ve spent a good many hours and a good many words raving about the amazing food and flavor that is pumpkin, but please bear with me. I’m going to do it again. Pumpkin and I just can’t get enough of each other. I’m convinced that certain flavors carry with them innate powers. Some…
It’s OK to be a picky eater
Utter the phrase, “We’re trying to eat healthfully,” and you’re bound to be hit by an onslaught of advice and opinions on what your new health-conscious diet must entail. Low carbs. High protein. Raw foods. No red meat. Seriously, health crazes can be harder to keep up with than fashion trends (slap bracelet, anyone?). But…
Tales from a 40-year-old plant: Rhubarb raspberry jam
Every summer, my family road trips about 11 hours north from our home in Missouri to visit my grandma in a teeny town in Wisconsin, on the farm where my dad grew up. It’s one of those trips that we all look forward to every year, not just because it’s a chance to get away…
Watch out, Pillsbury. I’m going old school.
In the wonderful world of pastries, I have my longtime loves and forever foes. There’s the donut, in all its deep-fried, glaze-covered glory, that’s been on my no-thank-you list since I was about 10 years old. I realize most people think this is a crazy bananas food to dislike, but even the smell of donuts…
