Cranberry Ginger Whole Wheat Quick Bread
I had grandiose ideas. Yes, I had done the The Twelve Days of Christmas for 2010 and I had done fourteen Christmas gift posts last year. This year promised to bring posts on “Gifts from the Kitchen 2012.” I had even written many drafts, some as far back as January 2012. I had lots of things…
A gift for the birds
Hopefully the family won’t think this gift is “for the birds!”
I’m dreaming of a white chili.
I’m dreaming of a white chili…..Just like the ones I used to know. Every once in a while, our local paper will publish cherished recipes from long ago closed restaurants. St. Michael’s Alley white chili must have been a much loved favorite because it is featured quite often. I made this same recipe about five…
Pepper Jelly Jewel Thumbprint Cookies
Finally, another Gift from the actual Kitchen! And finally, another use for pepper jelly. I can only make so much cream cheese dip. I saw this cookie at the BHG site. For the original recipe, click here. I decided I had to make it. These cookies are similar to a short bread cookie with the…
The Gifts from the Kitchen Kick-Off: Cheese Ball Kits
The first year that I was invited to spend Christmas with The Hubs’ family (my future in-laws), I was thrilled. We had been dating a long time and I had only met the parents once.

Cranberry-Orange Relish with Jalapeño
It’s been a while since I have cooked a full-blown, traditional, old-fashioned Thanksgiving meal. I’m excited and am cookin’ away today!
Morroccan Tagine with Roasted Eggplant and Zucchini
A warming recipe for a winter’s day AND November’s Secret Recipe Club post.
Soba Noodles with Beet Greens
I am a messy baker, a messy cook, a messy housekeeper and my desk is always a disaster. Needless to say, I am a messy gardener too. I tend not to plant in rows and I over plant. If anything comes up, it has a right to life. I hate to thin. But, things…
