I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

With all of the great veggies we’ve been getting lately, I have become more interested in veggie-centered cooking and baking. I heard a lot of buzz about Deceptively Delicious a while back, but I didn’t get around to checking it out until now. Fortunately, I got it from the library and didn’t pay money for […]

This week’s farm share was a bit anticlimactic, I must admit. Over the last two weeks, we’ve had quite the assortment of random new meals, and this week, the lettuce, cabbage, kale, turnips, potatoes, and onions aren’t sparking any great inspiration. I just threw away part of my first onion from the first food box […]

This week’s farm share was a bit of a puzzle–turnip greens, carrots and parsnips (yay!), bok choy, radishes, red onions, and beets again (boo). Anyone have any good recipes for radishes? I think I’ve figured out uses for the rest (except the beets–they’re going to Hannah’s kitchen where they’ll be properly appreciated), but I’ve not seen much with […]

I had never had parsnips before…in fact, I didn’t really know what they were. But when we got 8 of them in our farm share box this week, I discovered that they show up in a variety of fun-looking recipes. Actually, I’m going to have to save most of the recipes for future weeks, because […]

I think I’ve become addicted to chocolate. Don’t laugh–I’m serious! I think about it all day long, I eat huge quantities of it whenever it’s available, and I get grumpy if I don’t have any. I wake up and go to bed thinking about it. (Wish I could be addicted like that to, oh, say, the […]
Tommy’s Valentine’s Day present from Daddy was Nate the Great. Since then, he’s been obsessed with Nate the Great’s favorite food, pancakes. We had pancakes for dinner last night in honor of our favorite young detective. (We had the rest this morning–as Nate the Great says, cold pancakes are almost as good as warm pancakes.) […]

It’s been so cold and dreary out lately that I definitely needed comfort food this week! I tried this recipe from a master chef at my mom’s church…and it was a big hit with all of us, especially Tommy. He doesn’t like soup all the time since it’s hard for him to eat, but this […]

Leslie made this for our girls’ night last weekend, and I decided Derek and I needed a treat this weekend after a hard week…this reminds me of my favorite pizza cookie at Oregano’s Pizza out in Scottsdale…contented sigh… Crockpot Chocolate Chip Cookie 2 c. flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 1 c. butter at […]

We do homemade pizza fairly often in the Muller home, and I’ve been having great luck of late with this pizza crust recipe. It makes enough for three crusts, so last night I made up one big one on my pizza stone and then rolled the other 2/3 of the dough into breadsticks. My Shepherdsfield friends […]

I haven’t done a recipe in forever, so here’s what I made for dessert last night. I know, fruity desserts seem to belong to summer, but the local hispanic grocery store had limes on sale 10/$1, so I couldn’t resist. This recipe comes from the Beat This! Cookbook, one of my very favorites, given to […]
