Wee-hoo they have finally seeded!!! Now we need to pray for rain, because we are not watering 1.5 acres! In related news, we are also praying for rain because we attempted our first transfer of a volunteer tree on our property. I’ve been thinking about trees a lot lately, given this huge blank slate I…

The Spiced Life Café de Leche Cheesecake
The Spiced Life Café de Leche Cheesecake is a combination of classic flavors in a creamy, indulgent cheesecake. My mother begs for this dessert regularly. “This is the best cheesecake I have ever had.” I almost keeled over when those words came out of my mother’s mouth. I was pretty sure up until that point…
Pomegranate Chickpea Curry
I have a meal to share but currently I am too lethargic to type much. This is a silly picture to share probably, but 4 burners with gorgeous stainless steel pots bubbling away (and room for all 4, despite 3 being pretty big) made me quite happy. First of all I am really, really full….
Bizcochitos
I love saying that word. Mind you, I probably don’t say it correctly, but still, say it with me: beez-ko-chee-tos! OK and now the Spanish speakers can come and tell me what I did wrong. Why oh why when I was a know-it-all 8th grader could not some one have told me that Spanish would…
Back By Popular Demand!
Thanks to all who asked me about another Grandma’s Recipes blog event. I just wanted to send you over to The Life and Loves of Grumpy’s HoneyBunch, where HoneyB will be hosting the first installment of our new monthly event, Family Recipes: Memories of Family, Food & Fun! We wanted to open it up to…
100% Whole Wheat Pancakes
Someone save me from buying an ebelskiver pancake pan. Williams and Sonoma keeps sending me their catalog and in each one they have all these gorgeous photos of powdered sugar dusted fat, airy pancakes stuffed with all sorts of goodness. At first I thought, eh, whatever, what a uni-tasker. Now with each new catalog however…
Wild Mushroom Agnolotti Drizzled With Balsamic Cream Sauce
One of the perks of being a Food Buzz Featured Publisher is the opportunity to try to new products. This particular opportunity is double perked, so to speak, because Buitoni Pasta, the maker of the product in question, is giving away All Clad pots and pans–and to enter all they ask is that you create…
Cooking To Combat Cancer III: Ancho Spiked Scarlet Runner Bean Soup With Vegetables
How awesome is it, for a foodie anyway, to be back in your own kitchen, cooking away? My friend has a fabulous kitchen, albeit probably designed by people who did not cook much and thus it has some quirky flaws, but in general it was gorgeous, spacious and “easy to operate” (I cooked for them…
A Postcard From Atlanta… Without Any Pictures
Because I am terrible at that sort of thing. Unlike many food bloggers, food and writing came first for me–the photographing only followed by necessity. And honestly, you try shooting pictures of the food you are about to eat in public with 2 toddlers in tow. It ain’t happening. All I have are pictures of…
