Some nights, you just want something that is both fool-proof and easy. All the rest of the nights, we'll go to the extra trouble of making a white sauce from scratch, but tonight ... we're popping the tops off some soup cans. My family absolutely loves this dish. Gage is asking for seconds while still scooping the last bite in his little sauce-covered mouth. Brittney sits silently in a rapturous fog of tetrazzini bliss. Dave tells me TWICE how good it is, which, coming from a man of few ... continue reading...

Easy, Fluffy, Greek Yogurt and Honey Dinner Rolls
Easy, Fluffy, Greek Yogurt and Honey Dinner Rolls ... I tried and tried to think up two or three more words to put in that title, but I came up short. :D After you try a bite, I think you'll forgive me. There's nothing not to love about these: they're big and fluffy, delicious, and absolutely fool-proof. Thanksgiving is still awhile off, but it might be a good idea to try these out a half-dozen times between now and then, all in the name of "pinning down the menu." I only have one of my very ... continue reading...

So ... let's pretend that instead of being August 17th, it's MARCH 17th. Because if we do that, then I won't be five months late in posting this St. Patrick's Day recipe. Which I am. I made these for the first time this year, and it made my family swoon. Really. My son asked for them again the following week. They came up in conversation later that month, and heads nodded at the memory. What more can you ask of a humble cupcake? These are very, very decadent. Except for my niece's boyfriend, ... continue reading...
Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sometimes, you just have to have a cookie. When that mood next strikes, take a chance on these.

Our favorite cookie: Salty, Gooey, Soft-in-the-middle-and-crispy-around-the-edges, Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1 1/2 cups brown sugar ... continue reading...
On Pinterest, Serendipity, and Orange Stars in Vinegar
So here's how I feel about the "P" word: I love/hate Pinterest. I love all the beautiful pictures; hate that I can't possibly do/try/make/copy everything I pin. Love how it spurs my imagination; hate how it steals my hours. Anybody else? I have a ten-mile list of things I really, really want to make off of Pinterest. Today I got to cross one off my list, all thanks to serendipity. Dave had made our usual green smoothie early this morning, but left the orange peels in a polite pile next to the ... continue reading...
