Hello January, you old so and so. Grey skies that vacillate between snow and rain, ice, sleet, and hail. We know what your game is.
But guess what we have to fight against you? Soup. Delicious, simple, and comforting soup. Continue reading

For years when the urge for hash browns hit, I would just make oven roasted home fries. Hash browns can kind of be a pain. You have to use half a roll of paper towels to get the potatoes really dry, and Mama doesn’t have time for that. Continue reading
With the holidays coming up, I like to have crazy simple recipes in my little bag o’tricks.
And it doesn’t get easier than this. The hardest thing is leveling the chocolate with an offset spatula.
Which, as I’m sure you can imagine, isn’t difficult at all. Continue reading
Happy Fifth Anniversary, Crasstalk! Yay! XOXO!
And to celebrate, lets slow cook some spicy chicken thighs. These guys are sweet with a decent amount of heat, and – although there are a few ingredients – you use them twice.
So, that kind of means half the ingredients, right? Continue reading
I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. My obsessions run more toward tomatoes, because apparently I make no sense.
But the other day when the temperature climbed back in the 90’s, (and it was too hot to turn the oven on) I woke up craving chocolate blueberry cookies.

Because it’s CSA season.
Also, my husbands indoor garden is thriving, which means that I have more herbs than I can handle.
I love recipes where I get to write, “the hardest part of this process is finding a place to put the second cookie sheet.”
And that’s the case here. Hello, easy-to-make homemade bagels!
However, this recipe was a little odd, because I had help from my paternal grandmother – who passed away in 1998. Continue reading
