murphala — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 06:03:47 +0000

In the late fall or early winter when I was growing up, when it was time to use up those apples in the cellar, I’d wander into the kitchen to find big half-sheet pans filled with golden-brown apple slices. They didn’t last long in my house with brothers who ...

Not too long ago, after a long, long day, I came home really hungry for cornbread. I turned on the oven to preheat it and then started doing the dishes so that I’d have dishes to actually make and bake the cornbread in. Two minutes later, I ...

I had eaten an Italian soup from a meal-prep company recently. You know, the places in larger cities where you go and assemble meals that you will store in your freezer to cook later, so you can (in theory) avoid making a mess in your own kitchen AND so you ...

Crazy Chicken Combo

pirate96 — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 06:03:05 +0000

This crazy chicken combo is not one I would have ever dreamed up. The inspiration for it is Anthony’s Chicken. It is an eclectic ingredient list that leaves one frightened initially. Looking at something different we tried this meal several years ago.

Butterbean — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:03:42 +0000

Mama fixed oatmeal on cold mornings when I was a child. As I got older, oatmeal became “gross”. One morning Mama sat the bowl in front of me and I told her that I wasn’t real hungry. Daddy asked why and I told him that oatmeal was gross.

Marking the arrival of a special date, holiday, or season is easy to do with cookies, and while it’s such a temporary thing–after all, cookies disappear fast!–it’s somehow an important celebration of daily existence. And even if you don’t have a lot of time to spare today, you can ...

It seems like I am always searching for the one. At lunchtime, on weekends, sometimes after work… I head off in search of the one. My husband knows, and he encourages me. He likes a bargain too!

My search for the one begins and ends at my local Sam’s Club.

Freezer Meals

Jayme Payne — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:03:10 +0000

Yesterday was the culmination of a four-month plan to have a freezer meal stock up party. I have been an adherent meal freezer for about two years now and have read countless books, articles, and recommendations for one day mass cooking. I have, however, never had the guts, motivation, or ...
