Around here, the second key element of successful snow food is something hot and filling. I’m a big soup lover all the time, and I knew I wanted some last Wednesday while I was waiting for the snow to come down. But sadly, I was fairly limited in the soup fixins I had in the [...]

Snow days call for snow food! And for me, nothing says snow food like bread. I think my actual induction into the club of crazy bread bakers was during Snowpocalypse in December 2009.

And now, for a breakfast so simple but so delicious, you should make it if you’re off work this holiday Monday! When I saw this recipe online last week, I thought it looked too good to be true. A 100 percent whole wheat waffle recipe that didn’t call for anything special or fancy that would [...]
