One of the things on my 12 for 2012 list was implementing a new print feature for recipes and a better search feature for archives. So far, I am halfway there with easier printing, still walking in mud with the search/category stuff, but we’re making progress! In addition to the print feature, there is also [...]

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.

Food 52 Cookbook Review: Chicken with Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce & More
I find so many cooking sources on-line through my husband, who nudges me with subtle suggestions in emails with a link. Food 52 was one of those serendipitous finds and I became a subscriber right away. Their passion is sharing good food and building community among home cooks, so it was an easy “yes” when [...]

Abundant with Activity
It is wonderful to get away, gain perspective, refresh, and renew. Then again, there seems to be more laundry at the end of such an escape, and a feeling I may have missed something important. It is easy for the negative to creep in if you let it—stats/views fall off, out of the rhythm of [...]

Pad Thai Recipe and Red Boat Fish Sauce
When writing about Emeril’s Wok Seared Duck Salad, I mentioned his recommendation for fish sauce with the ingredient list. Shortly after posting, Red Boat Fish Sauce asked if I would try their sauce to compare. I only recommend products I like and use, so it has taken me a couple of weeks to put it [...]
