These teas are so special because they can be shared with a child/children. I never sat down over a shared pot of coffee with my kids, at least not until they were grown! There's something so sweet...

I hope it can work with soy milk, which is my substitute for all things dairy.

For dearly--I use my large whisk almost every day. I store it handle-down in a pretty jug with some other large utensils I use daily (extra spatulas, wooden spoons, ladles, etc.). I've recently dis...

Darn, I just threw out an old stray candle holder!

These are the perfect deep chocolate flavor. They are also safe for the IBS diet...just don't add the nuts, or any solid chocolate, to keep the fat content down. Good cookie texture is hard to come...

Mmm--add in very thin slices Granny Smith apples, and either cheddar or feta.

I am making this tomorrow!

Perhaps this is cheating, but when in a hurry, instead of pounding chicken, I slice them with a fillet knife length-wise, creating two thinner cutlets. They turn out very tender. I jus...

The second day in the house our water well died.

Don't neglect the vast world of soy products. Firm tofu is great stir-fried with vegetables, or you can make smoothies with silken soy, frozen fruit, and soy or rice milk to go along with the egg d...

I just bought a full bunch of radishes the other day, and have been enjoying them in a number of different ways (shredded into chicken yogurt salad, for one). I'm going to now enjoy them with cream...

Mondays was Monster Toast day, when my children were little. We colored bits of milk, the kids painted "monster faces" onto the bread, then it was put in the toaster. The face survived the slight b...

The central-Ohio Amish communities have country stores that sell amazingly-priced spices, herbs, and baking supplies. This is only helpful if you live in the right part of the U.S. where there are ...

There are two bags of SR flour in my house for probably the first time in about 31 years of home-cooking for a houseful of kids. Just never wanted it around, but "accidentally" added some to my pan...

I'm making this tonight, using my KitchenAid like you advised. The garlic sounds good...did you then just mash it up with the potatoes, and it wasn't too strong?

My husband had out-of-town visitors for work-related meetings, whom we invited to eat dinner with us at home last night. I had the luxury of having the whole day to prepare and cook for the seven o...

I gardened outside before eating a decent breakfast, so by noon I dug happily into leftovers! I reheated some spinach-Swiss cheese quiche and a bowl of Perciatelli spaghetti with meaty tomato sauce...

To JenPDX: The scene in Little Women, at the table with pink and white ice cream, is exactly and immediately what came to my mind. And hot buttered toast in Wind in the Willows! Yum!

I like Krogers, because it's close and convenient.

This cake is very good--especially when baked in the recommended 9 inch springform, which produces a higher cake. I've found it to be a foolproof treat. Children like it better with the light olive...
