But I have big plans this weekend for some yummy recipes like blackberry limeade. With any luck, they will be up today and tomorrow in time for Kalyn’s Weekend Herb Blogging,...

    I’ve been waiting, somewhat patiently, for the day to come. I’ve struggled through months of wanting to support local growers but being unable to because of the late opening of farmer’s markets in the immediate area. And finally, finally, finally it’s that time. As I was driving home this afternoon from a very brief...

They are rich in beta-carotene and also contain alpha-carotene, both antioxidants that help ward off bad things for your body like eyesight loss and cancer. It’s Tuesday, which happens to be...

    Meat and Potatoes

    by  • June 13, 2006 • On the web • 0 Comments

    My husband is that quintessential meat and potatoes type guy, or he was until I laid down the law: meals must include a bare minimum of one vegetable, salad is a staple and lean cuts beat out hunks of beef. Sometimes he still bucks at the “green stuff” on his plate, but he’s largely...

    What’s your favorite out of print cookbook? Mine is somewhat whimsical, or maybe just corny – Cooking With Friends. Yes, as in the Friends TV show.I know. How could I, a self respecting lover of food love such a gimmick-y thing? But the truth is that behind the gimmick are a number of excellent...

    Dish: Part one

    by  • June 12, 2006 • Bread, pizza • 6 Comments

    I was having a craving for deep dish pizza last week and decided to try making it at home. I’ve made thin crust pizza dough a few times before by hand, but have never made deep dish or used my Breadman to create the dough. I decided to do both this time.  Using the...
