“I love to make soup and can say with pride that I am famous for it. This is a real winter standby if you live in a cold climate. I make a large iron potful at least once a week, either on the wood stove or over the fire, which burns all winter.” ~Tasha Tudor…
My days have been so full I’ve barely had time to write to all of you. I’ll share a more “newsy” entry on Sunday for my Scenes post, I promise. In the mean time, I’ll just keep on sharing recipes 😉 This is simple, satisfying comfort food for the chilly winter days we’ve been experiencing…
After spending the day cooking up a new soup recipe I discovered in my new copy of Tasha Tudor’s adorable recipe book, I decided to go all out and make a homemade chocolate cake for dessert. We went overboard buying cake flour when I was experimenting with red velvet cakes to make THIS wedding cake…
Happy weekend, Friends. After spending a couple days at the end of this past week working on recipes for The Captain’s Table challenge, I am ready to just sit back and relax. We talked about my blog and website for a couple hours this morning and then went out for a yummy, casual lunch. Now…
Here is my third and final recipe for the Captain’s Table Recipe Challenge! This has been a fun experience for a great cause. I’m honored to have been included in such a talented group of food bloggers. Hugh Acheson has been selecting winners for each of the three categories (Thanksgiving, Holiday and Super Bowl.) .…
Hello, Lovelies. It was a semi-warm day here in MN (and when I say warm I mean not below zero.) So, my friend Nancy and I decided to steal away and enjoy a day of thrifting (we found some great stuff!) and a little lunch at Kelly’s Pub. We sat in a cozy booth by…

It’s crazy cold out there, and there’s not a sign of spring to…
Gracie is home from school again today due to the polar vortex. I think it’s funny that what was once called a “cold snap” and shrugged off as hum drum, here-we-go-again-weather (here in Minnesota, anyway) has been turned into a scary event by the media. Silliness, I say! We got the recorded phone call from…
Today I spent the day with my dear friend, Nancy. We hung out at her place, made big salads for lunch and watched the first few episodes of Freaks and Geeks. Can you believe I had never seen it before? Where have I been? And I am such a fan of Seth Rogen, James Franco…
“Twelve cookies, one pound of chocolate chips-sounds like a good ratio to me. For these cookies, some of the chocolate chips are melted and mixed into the dough and some are mixed into the dough as chips. The result is a dark chocolate cookie with a heap of chocolate chips.” ~Elinor Klivan When I asked…
