The conference brought together 300 food bloggers from around the world to mingle, share, and learn from one another. My weekend started with media training at Ketchum. I had my first experience trying

How many of you have purchased a cardboard box with pasta and a “seasoning mix” hoping for a quick but wholesome meal? I think we might all be able to raise our hands. I bought them early in my marriage, even though I was already an experienced cook. I look back now and

As I shared, last week was a busy one. When the weekend finally arrived, Pete and I looked at each other and agreed to aim for a slow-paced weekend. Relaxing for me means opening a bottle of wine and piddling in the kitchen for hours on end. For Pete, it’s watching football. Our

Labor Day has passed, school is in full swing and the mornings are beginning to get cooler. Little by little it’s beginning to feel like fall. I’m looking forward to this fall. Lots of new opportunities are on the horizon. Next month I’m attending the Blogher Food conference in San Francisco

“This is one of those recipes you just can’t make once: that’s to say, after the first time, you’re hooked. It’s gloriously easy: you just put everything in the roasting dish and leave it to cook in the oven, pervading the house, at any time of year, with the summer

The girls and I are making our way back to California. We’ve stopped for a couple of days to visit family in the mountains of New Mexico. The air is cool, dry, and smells of sweet pine. The deer are running wild and the hummingbirds and butterflies are abundant. I’ll be back to

Oh my, it’s hot here in Texas. We arrived amidst the rain on Friday evening and were greeted by my parents and a kitchen full of food. Mom made pan-fried cajun corn, black-eyed peas, salad, jalapeno cornbread, and a heavenly summer fruit cobbler overflowing with cherries, peaches, blackberries, blueberries and cherries.

This week is busy as we prepare to leave for our vacation. My week was filled with packing, shopping, and planning and more packing.  My kids are attending summer camp for a week so I’ve written names on each and every belonging. I’m now making healthy lunches and snacks for the road. I’m

The Price of Chicken

    Several times a year, a friend asks me to come over, look through her kitchen, point out the unwholesome foods, and advise her on practical steps she can take to build a whole foods pantry and refrigerator.  I always get excited at these requests because it means someone new wants to make changes and I

Are all eggs equal? I used to think so. Recent studies say conventional eggs differ nutritionally from organic, pastured eggs.  A 2007 Mother Earth News study concluded that hens raised on pasture may produce eggs containing “1/3 less cholesterol, 1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, 2x more omega-2 fatty acids, 3 times
