A nutritional epiphany, with a side of veggies
2008-03-04 14:54:00 Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking about my food and eating habits and debating where some change can be made. Sometimes it’s due to sticker shock at the grocer; mostly I blame my birthday. I shouldn’t really. I get a year older just like everyone else does and don’t wring my hands in ...

Angel food cake croutons
2008-02-28 17:58:00 If you have been a loyal reader of this blog for any length of time, you might wonder if any homemade, delectable sweets pass through the kitchen and into our tummies. Truthfully?

Snack makin? kid
2008-02-25 06:13:00 This year in school Griffin eats lunch around 10:30 in the morning. In my mind, that’s way to early, especially considering he is out of school at 2:30. By the time he comes home he is ready to mow his way through the fridge and pantry in his quest to ease the hunger pangs. He ... More About: Snack , Makin
It was Grand?..really grand
2008-02-21 15:23:00 I could have taken a thousand photos of the amazing creation that is the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but none, and I mean none of them would do justice to the awe, the majesty and the wonder that you see with your own eyes. Every where you look is a breathtaking view; you feel like ...

WCB- Boredom setting in
2008-02-09 02:46:00 *sigh* There’s nothing to do. They’re bored. And they’re napping with their toy mice. It’s cold out, and snowy. Bustopher has discovered another cache of real mice somewhere outside near us, and now wants O-U-T all the T-I-M-E. Even when it’s super cold, windy and snowy he begs to go out, and on a few occasions, he ... More About: Boredom
Turning ?great? into ?Genius?
2008-02-06 04:38:00 We all know of recipes that, by themselves, are simply great. They need nothing else to make them better. Take for instance….chicken vegetable soup, and tortellini alfredo. Both are terrific meals and easy recipes; delicious soup in an aromatic broth chock full of tender chunks of meat and hearty vegetables, and a simple and quick ... More About: Great , Genius
Chicken Paprikash and Spaetzle
2008-02-04 16:22:00 During our recent cold (VERY cold) snap, I witnessed once again how Minnesotans are a tough bunch. Most of them barely flinch when the temps drop below zero and the windchill takes your breath away. For those in more temperate climates, the windchill is the wind speed combined with the temperature to create a bone-chilling ... More About: Chicken
Someone ELSE made dinner?.
2008-02-02 02:28:00 and he’s 13. Yes, many younger ones pull up chairs and stools with their moms and dads all the time so it’s not a huge deal, but in our house, it is! And this meal he did all by himself, with me just being the sous-chef and mostly staying out of the way. One of his ... More About: Dinner , Made
Adopt a Blogger
2008-01-31 23:18:00 Kristen at Dine and Dish (my Greys Anatomy sounding board) began a great blogging event.

The veteran blogger supports the new kid on the block and helps them feel more comfortable in the massive food blogging ... More About: Blogger , Adopt
Crazy?..
2008-01-30 04:24:00 Temperatures this week in Minnesota: Monday: 43 (that would be ABOVE zero; balmy and Spring-like. I went for an hour’s walk and came home sweaty) Tuesday: 10 was the high, -18 will be the low Wednesday: 4 above for the high, but wind speeds dropping to -45 in some areas. A windchill warning.

Once more, with feeling?
2008-01-28 13:33:00 I love Jambalaya, rich tomato-y goodness loaded with vegetables and meat. It’s one of Griffin’s favorites (it’s all that meat, y’ know) and it’s so good-smelling and tasty. I have tried out certain recipes in books that have not given me any reason to sigh deeply in satisfaction. One made me recoil in horror; I just ... More About: Feeling

Rib Stickin? Goodness
2008-01-21 03:34:00 I’ve felt lately like I am in a rut, food wise.

Yeah, there was the lentil dish that was fab, the Thai chicken that we love ... More About: Goodness
WCB- Deep freeze dilemma
2008-01-19 15:44:00 A deep freeze has settled over Minnesota; temps below zero, dangerous low windchills and bright sunny skies. With the exception of the bright sunshine, it’s not fun. And it’s especially not fun for Bustopher who has gamely gone outside quite a bit lately chasing the ever elusive meeses for sport and pleasure. We had a friend ...

Catchin? Tory Chicken
2008-01-14 21:17:00 So long ago that I don’t even know how old I was, nor what adult level of life I was in; I only know it was prior to 30, as I was kidless, I sat in one of those cookie-cutter italian restaurants with some friends, drinkin’ cheap-ass red vinegar disguised as house wine and ...

WCB- The good and the bad
2008-01-12 16:40:00 If you are a cat, there are many things that can be either described as ‘a good idea’ or ‘a bad idea’; and potentially, ‘a very bad idea’. Like chewing electrical cords- ‘a bad idea’ or Scratching furniture (unless its yours)- ‘a bad idea’ or jumping on the humans at 4:00am- ‘a very bad idea’ and eating old grass and barfing on ...

Christmas: A+; Scalloped Potatoes: F-
2007-12-26 16:10:00 I admittedly am much harder on myself than others when something in my kitchen doesn’t work like I want it too; a failure to me is something that doesn’t even come close to being what I expected, regardless if others consume it without question, or even better, go back for seconds. That would be the case ... More About: Christmas , Potatoes , Allo

Griffin made us a snack
More articles from this author:2007-12-19 01:55:00 Not much to it; hard boiled egg yolks mixed with some mayo and deli mustard, a sprinkle of paprika and celery salt, then scooped back into the whites. But he made them, from start to finish. My only role was to sprinkle in the seasonings as he said ‘I probably can’t manage to get those right’. ...
