Recently I have seen and heard from a lot of family members. I have different relationships, as we all do, with different people. (Except for the imaginary people…all of those relationships tend to be very shallow and all about ME!) When I talk to my mom, we talk about everything under the sun. (One time …

Bacon Buttered Potatoes
The summer of 2012 will probably remind most people of the events of the Olympics in London, women’s boxing and Michael Phelps, (Okay, I personally am not a big Olympics viewer so that’s all I’ve got on that topic.) The summer 2012 will mean something completely different to me. This is the summer of the …
Not A Caponata
In the Midwest, our gardens are just starting to produce some veggies and the anticipation is unbelievable. (Seriously, this is the most excitement I have right now.) I get out a couple times a day and talk to my plants. Our conversations are very one sided but fulfilling for all who are involved. I do …
Bouncing Baby Bok Choy
I am going to look back on 2012 and remember it as my year of discovering vegetables. I guess “discover” is really not the word to use since the veggies have been around. (Okay, Christopher Columbus got away with it with that whole “Discovering America” thing but let’s not quibble on semantics.) Between going to …
Kohlrabi Coolslaw
One of my new rules when I go Farmer’s Markets is that I have to look for an ingredient that is not part of my regular grocery list. It can be something as easy as delicious creamy cheese or as challenging as a vegetable that I’ve never seen before. The key is for me to …

There are two things that make me want comfort food. The first is when the weather is cold. The second is when I’m sick. Since it is June guess why I want comfort food this week?? Yep, I’m sick. (Ohhh, poor baby.) Last week I landed in the hospital with some “issues” with my Crohn’s …
Tweaked Leeks
When a gal gets married, there are a lot of wonderful benefits that come along with the husband. You have a partner. You have a friend. You have in-laws!!!!!! In-laws, the little secret no one warns you about before you marry. (I did warn one of my brother in laws but he didn’t listen to …
Not a Common ‘Tater
I was out for lunch with one of my best friend’s (okay, it was my mom) and I overheard some people talking about their favorite common ‘taters. I wasn’t listening very closely but I thought it was interesting that they were having a whole conversation about potatoes. Being the overly social person that I am, …
Thanksgiving Post #5: Brian’s Song
As Thanksgiving approaches, I get kind of sentimental about thinking of all of the people in my life that make me thankful. As I am going down my list, there is one name that sticks out, Brian. Who is Brian, you ask? Well to my brother in laws disappointment, I am not talking about him …
Thanksgiving Post #2: Side Dish or Super Squash Star?
In the midst of all my foodie fun, I have got to talk more about my imaginary Thanksgiving dinner. Let’s face it; the turkey is the star of the show but what about the supporting cast of characters? You know who they are….the side dishes. The side dishes don’t get enough credit for the role …
