More Natural Easter Egg Dyes
I have been dying Easter Eggs naturally for years. It’s fun and easy–and I always feel more in touch with nature and the returning spring! Beets for pink, red cabbage for blue and Turmeric for yellow. With the primary colors covered, you can do anything… (directions are at the bottom of this post) Not wanting … Continue reading
Light and Healthy, White Wheat Slider Rolls
Phewww! Our “desperately busy” week is almost over! Did I learn any lessons? Just one. After watching my ham & cheese sliders disappear like water, I need a recipe for slider rolls. I surfed the web and came up with a great looking recipe from Eggs on Sunday (which the blogger got from the book … Continue reading
Freezer Ham & Cheese Sliders (for the Desperately Busy)
It’s going to be a crazy week at our house. Our youngest is in final (read “longer”) rehearsals for the school play (along with a million lessons and um, school); the middle has added a two day Model UN event to two sports, dance and school. And our oldest—well thank goodness for college away! So … Continue reading
Irish Brown Soda Bread
I first tasted Irish Soda bread when I was 18. After years of spending vacations at the family cabin, my father opened up the checkbook and took the whole family abroad. We collected notable family stories and even brought back a recipe or two. Among the beautiful hills of Killarney, Mrs O’Malley, our B&B hostess, … Continue reading
(Organic!) Homemade Irish Cream
St Patrick’s Day is coming! In my youth, I was an Irish dancer and spent the holiday traveling from bar to bar, dropping into bed exhausted. Now that I’m older, I plan to spend the evening more simply, reading by the fire with a glass of Irish Cream. (After driving the kids from event to … Continue reading
Whitefish in Dill Sauce
Fish is a delightful—and versatile—food . I first tried Whitefish in Dill Sauce at the Clearing in Ellison Bay, WI while attending a week long Photoshop Class that included a delicious daily lunch. This meal stood out, so when a local market had a sale on Lake Superior Whitefish, it was time to create my … Continue reading
Shortbread Cookie Snowflakes… or Squares… or Thistles if You Are Lucky
Let’s just pretend say this is in honor of St Patrick’s Day. You see I got this really cute Christmas cookie mold at closeout for 85% off—now who could resist that? The cookies depressions are in the shape of snowflakes and stars—ok not exactly spring-like. But I just couldn’t wait months to try it. Hey, … Continue reading
Favorite Turkey Chili
Can you fall in love with a market? For me, it began [bleep] years ago with a high school English assignment. I chose the option to illustrate a song with photos and needed to find a merchant who would “roll his awning down” in a proxy Morning Morgantown. When morning comes to Morgantown, … Continue reading
Cheater’s Shrimp Bisque
The idea took root on Christmas Eve. Valentine’s Day was not yet on the radar, but a cook is always planning… My (very abundant) buffet included a new Chicken Paprikash recipe, described as easy but thoroughly enjoyable–an above average comfort food. The real surprise came after Christmas, when the kids fought over the leftovers and … Continue reading
Ginger Glazed Oranges
The fruit arrived shortly before Christmas… a case each of grapefruit, cara-cara oranges, tangelos and mandarins. All organic and sent to Wisconsin from Florida via our CSA. The excitement was palpable. Kids and grown-ups tore into citrus with abandon. By the end of January it was passé. Now truly, this is how eating seasonally works. … Continue reading
