Yet another snow storm is on the way. I love watching the snow fall but I like swimming and gardening too. The seasons are trying to change and so is my life. Some of the things that brought me to food blogging have disappeared or shifted. I began cooking and thinking about food as a …
Dear winter, It just isn’t working for me any more. Even the dog seems tired of the chewy water. Let’s break it off. –K, thanks. While all of you down South are seeing signs of spring, we are still running the woodstove and trying to keep warm. Here is one more recipe/technique that heats up …
I must always be prepared to serve toast and jam. If I have met you at a market or show recently I probably told you that we (Tall Dark Handsome & myself) have been living on bread and jam. You see we have been recipe testing a few fruit jams and TDH firmly believes that …
Grain salad is a perennial favorite of mine (see further proof here & here).

Do you still have room for just a little more holiday flavor? Yesterday was the gingerbread throw down. Much like our fruitcake throw down a couple of years ago the gingerbread throw down brings together family, friends, and food. This is a wonderful silly gathering where friends are pitted against each other in a battle …
With all the holiday cheer being passed around you are sure to catch a little more than rogue glitter. If in fact you find yourself under the weather this season, as I have, then comfort yourself with a warm mug and a spell by the fire. There are plenty of options to fill said mug …
This fudge recipe is something I came across years ago. I must have jotted down the ingredients and forgot about source or steps. Actually it might be one of those where I made up the fudge, thought it was awesome, and then tried to recall what I had just done to achieve the awesome results. …
