You can tell by the recipes that I have been doing lately that I am really not in the mood to cook anything elaborate. That's ok. It's good to have some simple recipes that don't take much effort. With my mother in law still living down the street, it's a struggle to keep up my [...]
I have been a pie making fool. I made four pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. One of these pies is a favorite among the family. I make a gingersnap crust out of the America's Test Kitchen Gluten Free Ginger Snaps. Everyone loves this one. So much so that Tony asked for a sweet potato pie with [...]
I'm wondering if climate change is making mother nature forget what month it is. We've had two winter storms two weeks in a row. It's March, which should mean a gradual warm up. I guess now it means more snow. I love winter and I love snow, but in March I want to get the [...]
I don't know about you, but when you move, you find extra things you no longer need. In this case, I have three bottles of red wine that have sat in my basement for a long time. I don't drink on a regular basis anymore and when I do, I don't want to open a [...]
The house is almost clean. We are so ready to move in. It just seems like there is one more thing to do. While that is annoying, I'd rather have it done before we start moving furniture. When we do move, it will be slow. We have a lot of stuff, but only the two [...]
This week, I'm mostly took a break from working on the house for Thanksgiving preparations. However, I did want to come up with what to do with the dark meat before the next weekend. Instead of looking up a recipe, I decided to develop one from some of my favorite fall flavors and a wonderful [...]
I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]
Now that I have made a recipe with the turkey legs, there is still the business of cooking the leftover bits. This includes the neck, backbone, giblets and the rest of the turkey frame. I typically like to use a slow cooker for this because it does such a good job bringing out goodness from [...]
I was looking up a recipe to adjust for you this week, but found that I ended up developing my own instead. I had some leftovers to use. No, not turkey but the other half of a beef roast from another recipe. The recipe also called for canned cranberry sauce, which is terrible. If I [...]
