You ask, I answer, part four
Nicki asked, “What book would you insist your children not leave for college without?” Mine! . . . Sort of. I’m working on putting together over time a basic cookbook with their favorites, including shopping lists, estimated costs, about how … Continue reading
Mmmmmmm. Chocolate.
It is no secret that I love chocolate. White chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate. The chocolate oranges that you whack to break apart, candy bars, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate truffles (easiest ever are from one of Marcel Desaulniers’ … Continue reading
A picanic basket
Okay, not a basket, per se, at least today; I’m spending the day with my son’s class for their end-of-year picnic — swimming, games, food, and good times with familiar faces.
Mmmm. Chocolate chip cookies
Yes, I’m grateful for chocolate chip cookies. I’m grateful for how easy they are to make, how good they taste (with or without nuts), how much my family appreciates it when I make them. There’s nothing quite like taking a … Continue reading
Adventures in food with kids
I’ve been experimenting with new recipes from Food52 again this week. (Well, except for two days ago, when I did a makeshift jambalaya just because I felt like it, even if it’s a better dish for cool weather.) Of course, … Continue reading
T is for tea and tetsubin
Tea is, as I think I’ve mentioned, my favorite drink, the default that keeps me going through the day. I drink black tea in the morning, black decaf tea in the afternoon, green tea when I feel like it, and … Continue reading
N is for nectarines, Netflix, and Nutella
Just because I like them all. Nectarines. The fruit that most means summer to me, juice dripping down my chin, and none of that fuzziness that can be so irritating with a peach. Netflix. Wonderful service if you’ve got kids. … Continue reading

K is for kisses on pretzels
I got this recipe from a friend who includes them in her Christmas cookie repertoire. They’re super easy, and I think they’re very tasty. Put mini-pretzels on cookie sheet. Place one unwrapped chocolate kiss on top of each pretzel. Bake … Continue reading
B is for blueberries
Blueberries because my kids love them. Earlier this week, I noticed that I still had some frozen pumpkin to use and decided I’d make pumpkin muffins (with chocolate chips — for the extra antioxidants, of course) today or tomorrow. While … Continue reading
How many meals?
If you cook, as I do, you probably spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen. You probably also have a cookbook collection, as well as bookmarks for your favorite sites. I discovered another site to add to my … Continue reading
