Sometimes, I think I’m almost predictable to a fault. I know what I like. I know my routine and I like to stick to it. Call me boring, but it’s what works for me. So it should surprise no one that the first cold weekend I was ready to make soup. Soup with squashes. A [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, last weekend was the weekend of CRABS!! Our friends Kim and Randy invited us to their house out in my old stomping grounds (oh college on the hill, what fantastic memories I have of you!). This is an annual thing, so it was fun to be back in [...]

My never ending quest to find a use for ripe bananas continues on…and I may have a new all time favorite! Last sunday I had ripe bananas and a hankering for brunch, so I went scouring some of my woefully underused but wonderful cookbooks looking for a recipe. I found one in the King Arthur [...]

The time has come to share one of my great secrets. I cook whole chickens in my crock pot. I’ve been doing this for quite sometime. And for some reason, it makes me feel guilty. Because it’s so easy, and it doesn’t seem like a fine culinary technique. But it’s delicious. So we keep doing [...]

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 [...]
