If you had told me I would be posting a recipe for a dish I made for dinner tonight, while John is out of town, I would have asked what you were smoking. Hats off to the single moms—I don’t know how they do it, and when John is out of town I pretty much…

Catching up from Computer Woes: Blueberry Crisp & Peanut Butter Cookies
When I promised pictures of Cheesecake Pops and commentaries on blueberry crisp, I should have remembered my husband was going out of town. Yikes. Things were further complicated by the fact that for some reason fixing our external hard drive wiped out an entire week’s worth of Microsoft Word (saved on the internal hard drive)…
Daring Bakers: Cheesecake Pops!
I had all these lovely blog entries to post, and then our hard drive (our secondary hard drive, for storage only) went kaput. This is relevant, because without it my pictures don’t upload properly–this could be fixed, but my husband would have to do it, and he is overworked enough as it is, and the…
A Variation on Hot, Sour Soups for Sick People: Laura’s Kitchen Sink Sopa de Lima
I am sick again. I am sure it sounds like I have some incurable disease, but actually I think it has just been a bad winter/spring for viruses, I have 2 toddlers, and I catch EVERYTHING. So once again my blogging has slowed down and my pictures have gotten lazy. *sigh* But I do have…
BBD #9: Oats: Maple Oatmeal Sandwich Bread
I love Bread Baking Day. It is my favorite of the monthly food blogger events, since I love bread and am always up for experimenting with it. However, I can tell that Bread Baking Day is going to be a tad more difficult for me as the days grow warmer, especially while I am stuck…
Thai Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce (Nahm Jeem Gratien) in Stir Fry
Thai Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce is very easy and lasts forever in the fridge. It is a necessity for spring rolls, and delicious on grilled chicken, pad Thai, fried rice, and a host of other dishes as well. My house is never without it! This recipe was first posted in April 2008–before I had even…
Ellie Krieger’s Triple Chocolate Cookies
I just got back in town from being gone for a few days, but I made this recipe right before I left. Things were hectic and I never took any pictures, but I still decided it was better to get some recipe from me than not at all (and that is why you see Finnegan…
Ah, Spring: Wild and Brown Basmati Rice Pilaf with Cranberries
I generally get kind of irritable about food (meaning meals, not baked goods) in the early spring. There is still no local produce and lots of non local produce is still not that tasty, and it is too chilly to grill, but suddenly I don’t want stews or curries or anything that cooks for a…
The Frogs Are Back!: Whipped Cream Pound Cake with Chocolate Shavings
In December 2014 I updated this cake with an awesome peppermint variation and also took much better pictures! I promised you another Carole Walter treat, and I am not going to disappoint. But before I get there, let me share something else really exciting (well to us and everyone else north of the Mason Dixon…
