I hope the new year has been good to you thus far, I can’t believe we are already 1 1/2 months into 2010. Did you make any diet related resolutions this year? Are you still sticking to your resolutions? If so, good for you. You may want to bookmark this recipe for when you a) [...]
On store shelves today you will find so many convenience foods. Jarred spaghetti sauce, canned refried beans, chicken stock in a box, and so on. Now I will admit, I do buy these convenience foods. They make cooking dinner, well, convenient. Convenience is nice but there is something special about making things from scratch. I [...]
Soup in the summer. You probably think I am crazy. I’m not. I promise. My husband and I have been searching and searching and searching for our first house. This endless house hunt has taken up many of our evenings. We usually return to our apartment around 8 p.m. (which is the girls’ bedtime) hungry. [...]
Yesterday I was cleaning up and organizing my food photos, and noticed that I have many photos that go to recipes that I have not yet published. This is one of them and it was made this past fall. If my memory serves me correctly, it was delicious, and I actually liked it better reheated [...]

It was perfect day for a warm comforting dinner. I read about Nicole’s sourdough starter at PinchMySalt I have never made homemade bread before [...]
Like I said earlier, I would post the recipes for the soups I made last week. Unfortunately I don’t have photos to go along with them. Next time I make the soup I will include a photo. I apologize for not using “real” chicken stock, this was a 30 minute meal day. CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP [...]
