All of our parents have stories about their childhood woes. It is the infamous I had to walk 5 miles uphill both way tales that were developed to keep kids from complaining about their lives.

Celery Root Makeover Magic (Potato Celery Root Gratin)
Happy New Year. Last year went too quickly and I was so preoccupied with puppy training. I felt like I was reading more about dogs than I was about food and didn’t feel motivated to cook let alone eat. I won’t go into the nitty gritty details because I feel so happy now with Scout …
Your New Favorite Shrimp Pasta Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer is also one of my most dreaded parts of the summer. It isn’t the fact that we finally have beautiful sunshine and yet the afternoons are too steamy to go out. It isn’t the fact that our scenery in NW Indiana looks so amazing that our roads get …
BS Birthday Blog (Brussels Sprouts Birthday)
I had an epiphany last week. I seem to have a lot of them lately. They are true lightbulb moments that I sometimes look up to see if a lightbulb just flashed over my head. I’m wondering if epiphanies come with age or I need maybe I just need to be medicated. (Now I’m thinking of one …

Christmas is for the little ones. The season is all about them and making them shine. We enjoy every bit of them even when we have to poke their little eyes out. WHAT??? Why are you looking at your computer screen all weird? I’m talking about those cute little potatoes you see in the bags …
One more reason to change your menu
It is Thanksgiving week. Are there things you look forward to the most like the laughter, a pretty set table or an excuse to eat multiple pieces of pie? Maybe you love being the favorite aunt (moi), making gingerbread houses and cleaning someone else’s kitchen. I think most people like Thanksgiving because the menu is …
Reincarnating Stuffing
Am I the only one who thinks that about reincarnation? I always wonder if we do come back to life, what would I want to be. A butterfly would be cool because no one ever gets mad at a butterfly. That whole cocoon thing has always been intriguing. Plus, I could have wings with some …
