Sweet Tomato Relish
Agh! So frustrating! My computer is gone–AGAIN. So John decided to get a hard drive to back up the computer–something about how you can program a Mac to automatically back everything up if you have a second hard drive, and in a moment too difficult to explain (according to him) of “computer scientist stupidity” he…
Tried, True & Comforting Oaxacan Tortilla Soup
I have been holding out on you. Really holding out. My most repeated recipes, the tried and true favorites, of this household, are, for the most part, not on this blog. This is easily explained; the recipes are usually easy fallbacks that I don’t even have a written recipe for anymore. And they are frequently…

Some Kitchen Photos & Some Inadvertantly Gooey Peppermint Brownies
My mother’s favorite part of my new kitchen is the pantry. It is a step in, which means you can step 1, maybe 2 steps into it, but it is long and has shelves at each end also. The photo to the left is the view of the left from the inside. The photos in…
Cinnamon Pumpkin Oatmeal (Breakfast) Cookies
This is one of those cookies that is chock full of good things–to the extent that you are not sure what to call them. Cinnamon Pumpkin Oatmeal Oat Bran Pecan Breakfast Cookies with Cinnamon Chips? I invented them because I love cookies. Much like muffin people are just cake lovers in disguise, I wanted a…
