ZipList: Is your shopping list tech savvy or still a pen and paper?

Giving away a cookbook is a special treat. Encouraging friends and family to gather at the table and commune over a homemade meal is what stirs my passion for the kitchen and the keyboard. And I love cookbooks, so much potential within their pages. Will a single ingredient inspire? Will the storytelling photos be enough [...]

The Apple Challenge: Feature Fridays

The only time I don’t mind stumbling in life is when I Stumble across something to share for Feature Fridays. This morning, I found this video and immediately went to the kitchen, picked up a crisp gala apple and tried it. Now, I have pretty strong hands for a girl, which I credit to milking [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier Review

One of the guilty pleasures of a food blog is the occasional invitation to review a cookbook. It is like being invited to a party just to talk about food, which is just my kind of party. I admit I am showing up fashionably late in this instance since The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From [...]

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.
