As promised earlier this year, I was going to try to be better at putting up my recipes BEFORE holiday celebrations are over. So when I looked at my calendar and saw that May was around the corner, I knew I had better start thinking about a couple of recipes for Cinco de Mayo. Contrary …

Bibimbap or BibimBarb?
One of the most challenging parts about cooking in a small town is staying “authentic” in ethnic recipes. It may be something you grew up eating or a flavor you only tried once but trying to recreate it with limited resources may be just enough of a hitch to keep you from attempting the creation …
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 Your Ma’s Ball Soup
It is springtime, which means a lot of things to different people. I love seeing the green growing on the trees and the early buds of a flower’s first bloom. It is also the time of year when people celebrate Easter and Passover. (FYI: My birthday is also in the spring and there are only …
Dying for Deviled Eggs
Over the past year, I have shared a lot of stories with you. (By stories, I mean my issues that my therapist says I need to let go.) One of my favorite stories is about dying Easter eggs with my sisters. Every year, my mom would hard boil a bunch of eggs, break out the …

St. Patrick’s Little Sister, Ruby
So, last year I did it. I made my husband happy. What I gave him was close to perfection, very hot and made him take a nap instantly. He isn’t going to be so lucky this year. I’m just not in the mood….to make the traditional St. Patrick’s Day dinner. I didn’t want to disappoint …
Comfort Food: Tomato Soup
Comfort. By the time March rolls around in the Midwest, I am looking for comfort from the cold in everything. I want a big fleecy woobie (blanket made from fleece with a colorful pattern) around me at all times. My weekend wardrobe consists of something with elastic around the waist and fuzzy material. (Yes, I …
Make Granola. Not War.
The more I write about food, the more I realize there is so much history behind even the most simple foods. Today’s example will be granola. When I hear “granola” I think of the hippies in the sixties. They were not mainstream people so they rejected the meat and potatoes that they grew up eating. …
