Sharing the Good Stuff
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 11:00 AM
I must admit, I love this time of year. My kitchen never feels so cozy, warm, and inviting as it does the days before Thanksgiving. I love having an excuse to clear my calendar and focus on food.
When it comes to Thanksgiving recipes, my family does not approve of experimentation. Don’t put funny things in the stuffing, don’t mess with the mashed potatoes, and for Pete’s sake, let a perfect pumpkin... READ MORE
A Really Tart Tart

If you’re fond of a tart pie—if your taste runs to sour cherry and granny smith—
then you’re sure to love this cranberry pie, which has become a family holiday favorite.
One year there were no cranberries left in the stores the week of Christmas, and several visiting relatives were quite put out.
The recipe is adapted from The Cranberry Connection.
Cranberry Pie:
Crust: use your favorite recipe for... READ MORE

Birthday Baking is the Best
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, November 23, 2009 9:59 AM
Hard to believe that ten years ago today, I spent the morning doing my very best not to curse at a well-intentioned nurse who continually offered me a “birthing ball.”
No thank you, Ma’am ... No, really, I don’t want it ... Please, no ... NO BALL! GO AWAY! NO BALL!
It got pretty ugly.
But birthing ball or no birthing ball, the end result of that labor of love was well worth every bit it cost me.... READ MORE
Favorite Family Meals

It is Saturday again when I call out to readers for ideas for Sunday dinner.
Last week I was traveling, so my cousin Colleen offered to make Sunday dinner. It was so wonderful to walk in the door after a long car ride and sit down to an already made meal!
Colleen made this delicious Stuffed Pepper Soup. So good, that my nephew Joe had thirds and asked for a thermos to take to school the next day.... READ MORE
Potato Pancakes

My husband is out of town, and the kids and I are staying with my parents through Tuesday. My sister is home from Colorado for Thanksgiving break. It’s Miriel’s first time home in three months, so it was a given that she would request Dad’s specialty for Sunday breakfast.
These potato pancakes are a family favorite. My dad has been making them for decades, and my brother has been known to eat more... READ MORE
On Top of Spaghetti

Last week I shared my weekly tradition of hosting Sunday dinner for the family. My hope is to share my Sunday dinner plans and gain some encouragement and ideas from the pros (you).
Most of the recipes that I make are the meals that I grew up eating. Every summer our Aunt Jane would invite our family down to the shore for an afternoon swim and then dinner. After our fun in the sun our entire family... READ MORE
Yum Without the Yuck

Juliette is my resident baker. She likes goodies of all kinds and bakes regularly (Hmmm, where does she get that?).
Yesterday, she asked if she could try a pie. And her chocolate-loving Mama suggested she try a French Silk chocolate pie. I have fond memories of baking these delicious desserts years ago with college roommates.
When I looked up the recipes, though, I was surprised to find that pretty... READ MORE
The Meatloaf That Made Me a Meatloaf Fan
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 10:42 PM
Some people love meatloaf, and some people hate it. I’m not in either camp. I’ve always felt indifferently toward meatloaf. I’d eat it without complaint if someone served it to me, but I certainly never went out of the way to make it for myself.
Then some friends had us over for dinner and served meatloaf. It was absolutely delicious. I was shocked to find myself turning down a second helping of potatoes... READ MORE
