A number of years ago my husband visited a small Asian “mom and pop” store by where we lived. The owner had just finished making a batch of Black Sticky Rice (for personal reasons…I don’t think they were planning on selling any of it). My husband and the owner were carrying on a conversation for … Continue reading
Today’s post goes in the file for “The First Timer’s Club.” I don’t know what I really mean by that, except it was the first time I have made these great Black Bean Burgers! I didn’t use the traditional canned beans. I also didn’t go the old fashioned route and soak, then cook, then drain … Continue reading
So…my post today isn’t about a food, although it does smell wonderful! In my attempt to make some homemade Christmas presents this year I decided that Peppermint Lip Balm would be on the roster of “To Do” items. I found a recipe that looked like it would work pretty well at http://www.soulemama.com. I went online … Continue reading
Today was my father-in-law’s birthday. He would like everyone to believe that he does not eat sweets…because he is sort of a health nut. He has worked in the health industry as a nurse all of his adult life and because of, and maybe in spite of that, has done an incredible amount of research … Continue reading

It makes for great Christmas morning memories! Me though? Normally I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink it on any regular day…unless…there was something special about … Continue reading
Yesterday we made a decision to “get rid” of a few of the roosters around here, six to be exact. Our freezer now has a few more meals and I had some amazing chicken stock in the fridge that I made from one of the poor fellows last night. I was originally going to … Continue reading
Does the idea of making homemade pie dough intimidate you? I understand… I have been there. Having a dry, crumbling apart crust that falls apart before you even get it in your pan, or an overly sticky dough that, when rolled out, ends up a holey, sticky mess is very, very disappointing. Very. Disappointing enough that you … Continue reading
Tonight my daughter and I had a butter making contest. The contest was her idea. She decided that whoever made the best tasting butter would get an extra bowl of ice cream! Not a bad prize (like mother, like daughter I’m afraid!) 🙂 The whole reason we decided to make butter was because my husband … Continue reading
If you are looking for a great dinner roll recipe…look no further! This dinner roll recipe is a variation of my Honey Wheat Bread recipe (that I will have to post at a later date). I normally make my bread with 100% whole wheat flour (I prefer hard white spring wheat to red wheat and … Continue reading
Today’s post is a super doctored up version of cream corn. If you normally have cream corn, or just plain old corn, as a holiday side dish why not add my recipe of Savory Cream Corn to your menu this Thanksgiving or Christmas? It usually ends up on our table for most holiday or family … Continue reading
