Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy
I am recovering from knee surgery so won’t be posting much for a few more days.
I did actually make the boys and I a wonderful chicken, mushroom and zucchini dish last night which was very similar to the one posted here. My middle son now loves zucchini (yippee!— he “hated” it only months ago) and my youngest loves mushrooms so it’s a win-win dinner. It only took...

Deer, Oh Dear!
I believe that we learn to eat what we consider normal food by our parents at an early age. Our customs, nationalities, and localities influence what we eat. I didn’t grow up eating venison, rabbit or duck but they are now some of my favorite meats. But I only began eating them as an adult. My kids are eating these foods since we cook them more than is customary for where we live. Duck...

Together
One of my fears when I write this blog is coming off as pretentious. I am not trying to show that my kids are better than others or that I am better than others. What I’m attempting is to show that if I can do it, so can you. Ok, except if there are food allergies or aversions, texture problems or other issues, but for the most of everyone else, I do believe it’s possible. And this...

Treat Them Well
Wondering why I insist on baking with so many disasters? It’s not masochism; it’s my way of ensuring the ingredients are what I don’t mind my kids ingesting. Plus I do get some fabulous results. My mother’s birthday is a week after my son’s and they both fall around Thanksgiving. Mum was visiting my brother in California for Thanksgiving so I promised to make...

Birthday Cake Disaster
I don’t call myself a baker for good reasons— I am often too impatient to allow the proper processes and I tend to improvise, which can often end in disaster. (Plus distractions can also lead to baking failure). Whereas cooking is actually open to not following directions as long as you have an idea of what flavors will go well together. I once had a flat mate that mixed too many...

– — Mark Twain (via hippiecrack)
I’ve been busy organizing a charity gala being held tomorrow night which is at and to help fund the library Mark Twain started and is named after him. The library is only partly funded by local and state government and is a true treasure in this town. My...
notyouraveragemichael asked: Soooo... I went to the directory and it brought me to the food tab. I found your blog and have been on it for damn near an hour. I've been desperately searching for a blog that posts recipes because I love to cook but never know WHAT to cook. If these recipes are good enough that your children love them, I'm pretty certain I will love them too. :)
