Things that you actually like to do go by the wayside because you've been slaving and breaking your back in the hot sun all day, and all you want to do is come home, close the blinds and watch some mindless television.

Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese

If you have bushel baskets of apples to use this fall as I do, you are quite possibly looking for something to make with them other than apple pie and applesauce and apple butter. I have a million apples to use in the fall becaus > read more
Scratch Lasagna

Lasagna, completely from scratch. Yep, I went there. I really didn’t even intend to, it kind of came out of me cleaning out leftover this and that in the refrigerator. As I was summing up what I had, I realized I could make > read more

My Favorite Caesar Salad
Published on 2010-07-20 12:41:00
Among my many food obsessions is the Caesar salad. But I suppose I have somewhat unrefined taste here, since I can't say I care too much for an "authentic" dressing, made with olive oil, egg, anchovies and such. Nope I make mi > read more
Rhubarb Muffins
Published on 2010-06-22 12:01:00
Along with spring and summer comes the inevitable question, what to do with all that rhubarb? It gets a little out of control at times, kind of like a weed. This got my mom and I to thinking, what is rhubarb, anyway? Well, we did a > read more
