Leftovers may necessi’tater’ cooking some soup

Leftover Mashed Potato Soup Leftovers may necessi’tater’ cooking some soup

Well, I can officially say I survived my first experience with hosting Thanksgiving dinner.  I floated the idea a little over a week out from the big day to my mother-in-law, not wanting to step on her toes but also knowing she’s been extremely busy at work lately and could likely use a break from …

Sometimes speed is what cooking is all a’sprout’

Sweet Potatoes and Brussels sprouts Sometimes speed is what cooking is all a’sprout’

I recently found myself going on a whirlwind trip through the grocery store, quickly grabbing something to make for dinner on my way home from work. Joey and I were all geared up to watch a basketball game, and I (of course) ended up getting caught in the office far later than I wanted. And …

For the week before Thanksgiving, some friends of ours invited us to their house for a “Friendsgiving,” where we’ll all enjoy a big potluck meal together with a large group. This is the second year for the tradition, and we’re really looking forward to spending time with everyone while eating a great meal. I will …

Chicken mushroom soup is ‘chowder’ this world

Creamy Chicken Mushroom Chowder Chicken mushroom soup is ‘chowder’ this world

Thanks to this column, I’m constantly on the lookout for recipes I have never tried. If you look at a lot of food blogs and recipe books like I do, you’ll find several common words and phrases in the titles of recipes. There are quite a few that include the descriptor “Amish” in the title, …

Be ready to fall for a casserole with autumn flavors

Fall Casserole Be ready to fall for a casserole with autumn flavors

As the leaves began falling off the trees recently, I got the chance to spend some time with my now two-year-old niece. She’s in love with being in the backyard, so we went outside for awhile, and she showed me the crunchy leaves laying in the grass. She would carefully pick up each one she …

‘Hummus’ give a strange combination a try

Banana Bread Hummus ‘Hummus’ give a strange combination a try

When I’m searching for recipes, I sometimes stumble across ideas that seem so weird that I’m completely compelled to try them. This week’s recipe is one of those: banana bread hummus. I have made hummus quite a number of times, and it’s a favorite for us, especially when we’re setting up a snack table for …

Mushrooms are easy ‘caprese’ for dinner

Caprese Portabella Mushrooms Mushrooms are easy ‘caprese’ for dinner

On our honeymoon, Joey and I visited a great Italian restaurant in New York City. It was the most expensive meal of our vacation, with us spending a generous gift from a family member that was earmarked for just that purpose. The place wasn’t all that fancy to look at, but when your waiter is …

Ring in winter with bell pepper soup

Italian Sausage and Pepper Soup Ring in winter with bell pepper soup

This past week, we went north to Iowa and Minnesota for a newspaper conference and to visit some friends. One of my wonderful friends, who has inexplicably given up her Kansas roots for the big city of Minneapolis, assured us that Minnesota is generally pretty mild in October, so we were excited to experience some …

Your spaghetti may be the ‘bella’ the ball

Mushroom and Garlic Spaghetti Your spaghetti may be the ‘bella’ the ball

I recently unpacked a few boxes of books that were stored away and uncovered some cookbooks I hadn’t looked through in awhile.  They’re now all neatly in a row on my new bookshelf, so I suspect they will be getting some use in the coming weeks and months, but as I looked at each one …

Here’s a dessert that’s perfect for crunch time

No-bake Chocolate Crunch Bars Here’s a dessert that’s perfect for crunch time

When we were kids, my mom would give my sister and I each a quarter a day for snacks at the Haven pool when we’d go swimming with our babysitter. That quarter could get you some licorice or Now and Laters, but I would often hoard my coins for several sessions until I had enough …
