Before you even think about arranging some sort of gathering at your house, there is one thing you must have … The phone number to your local Chinese, pizza, or sandwich delivery joint. Really? Absolutely. And you must be willing to dial the phone. Everyone needs a back up plan and the good sense to [...]

Hearth & Soul Hop at Savoring Today
Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Hop for July 31, 2012—the food carnival for and about food that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls! Were you wondering if we could sustain yet another week of highlighting peaches? Well, I was willing, but there were not enough peach recipes to justify a peaches-only highlight. Sad, but true. [...]
Hearth & Soul at Savoring Today
Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Hop for June 5, 2012—the food carnival for and about food that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls!

Jalapeno & Gouda Crab Dip: Super Bowl Appetizer
Last week when I made this Jalapeno & Gouda Crab Dip appetizer to proof the recipe before the Super Bowl, I also made Crab Cakes with Mango-Lime Sauce (recipe to follow next week). The crab cakes were a surprise for my husband—we had the house to ourselves, so it was the perfect opportunity for a [...]
Parmesan & Herb Zucchini Sticks: Super Bowl Party Appetizers
It was a delicious day in the kitchen working on appetizer recipes for the Super Bowl with Parmesan & Herb Zucchini Sticks as the next recipe highlight.

Chicken Teriyaki & Stir-Fry Vegetables

Sprouted Wheat French Bread
When we decided to eliminate white flour from our diet years ago, a good French baguette was the one thing I missed most. Bread with soup, bruschetta, crostinis with baked brie, homemade croutons, and garlic bread were all off the menu until I could find or make a better alternative. Converting from white to whole [...]
One-Pot Kale and Quinoa Pilaf: The Food52 Cookbook Review
Last night was a make-it-quick night; the chicken had to be roasted in pieces and the side dish simple. One-Pot Kale and Quinoa Pilaf was a cinch to make and its citrusy flavor, earthy kale, and toasted-seed crunch turned out to be an excellent side for roast chicken. I made a couple substitutions based on [...]
Secret Ingredient Beef Stew: Reviewing The Food52 Cookbook
It is always fun when I can share a recipe from a cookbook review, it is a little bit like sharing a secret with a friend. Although I couldn’t post the recipe for Chicken with Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce, I hope it gave you a feel for the variety of recipes compiled in The Food52 [...]
Punchfork, This Site Should Come with a Napkin: Feature Fridays
Occasionally I discover something that makes me feel like I have been living under a rock … Punchfork is one of those things. Let me just say, WOW. This site is the ultimate feed for Pintrest foodies with a seemingly bottomless screen—so much to pin, so little time. In this case, I’ve only been sheltered [...]
