Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Hop for April 24, 2012—the food carnival for and about food that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls! Each week the hop with be posted here for you to browse or link a post of your own to share. This week I am including the full mission [...]
Good Change: Co-Hosting Hearth & Soul Hop
Savoring Today turned two in March and it definitely feels like the toddler stage of blogging with the learning curve ever steep. Photography and photo editing, new acronyms like SEO and HTML, formatting and theme design, as well as social media jargon, is worth all the extra hours to share what I love: connecting family [...]

Spice Up the Weekend with Jalapenos and Bacon: Feature Fridays
There I was, cruising food sites, minding my own business, when these Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos jumped up out of nowhere. You heard me…Bacon…Wrapped…Jalapenos. Look at them; can you imagine better cradles for cream cheese? Or a better way to introduce pork, chilies, and fire? Obvious as it might seem, there is a step-by-step recipe [...]

Parmesan Sprouted Wheat Bagels
Successfully making Parmesan Sprouted Whole Wheat Bagels inspired a happy dance at my house. A bona fide, get your hands up, twist and shout, tickled pink sort of dance in the middle of the kitchen. Why so giddy? Well, as any parent can attest, making healthy food choices is a great idea until you try [...]

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier {GIVEAWAY} & Thai Chicken Pizza
This drawing ended Monday, April 30, 2012. Please continue to enjoy the recipes included in this post by clicking on the links in green. Some browse cookbooks for the photos, others read them like a novel. I prefer to sit and have coffee with a new cookbook, a get-to-know-you session to determine if we’ll end [...]

Pioneer Woman’s Sloppy Joes and Caramelized Onion Sprouted Wheat Buns Recipe
Would you believe that in 28 years of cooking and loving food, last week was the first time I ever made Sloppy Joes? If I am going to make a sandwich out of ground beef, my husband would much prefer a hamburger, hence no Joes of any kind, sloppy or otherwise. Growing up in the [...]
Inspired Reflection at Easter: Soul Food
Inspired reflection—that momentary pause when thought and emotions intertwine to consider the profound. Whether prompted by human touch, written word, nature’s beauty, allegory, or song, you are keenly aware you were just given a glimpse of something transcendent. Today, this video, this song, did just that. Glenn Packiam serves our church as pastor, teacher, author, [...]

Butterscotch Walnut Scones [GF]: No Gluten, No Problem
This weekend I am co-hosting a bridal shower and the goal is to create a completely gluten-free menu. You see, my friend was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago and routinely has to either bring her own food or eat beforehand when attending gatherings. It really bums her out. There is something special [...]
Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar: Modena Magic
Years ago I used balsamic vinegar for marinades and salad dressings, thinking I was a culinary genius (ah, youth). Although I still use what we call balsamic in the U.S. for these same applications, our trip to Italy opened my eyes to true balsamic vinegar. The sweet, tangy, complex, thick syrup garnishing our cheese plate [...]

Springtime in the Rockies and Salmon Dill Chowder
Writing and sharing food with friends is a delight, hardly something that warrants reprieve. However, even the work we enjoy benefits from our stepping back, reflecting, loosening our grip (or its grip) from time to time. It was hard to lay aside the routine of writing last week, though not completely unplugged from reading my [...]
