Kale With Roasted Banana Squash Salad

Kale With Roasted Banana Squash Salad

I served this salad as a base for cornish game hens roasted in pomegranate molasses and sumac and it was fantastic.  It’s a natural accompaniment to the fowl and the dressing is lip smacking delicious.  You could use any winter squash here.  I’ve used butternut,…

It’s pumpkin month.  And, yes, this post is late.  Again.  Even I’m rolling my eyes.  And I’ve been basically absent for the entire summer.  Even though my kid is grown, I know those of you with kids still in school can relate to how busy…

*Disclaimer*….I had this post written and ready to go before I went off the rails for the summer.  Rather than hang onto it for a year, I’m posting it.  Yes, yes, it’s late.  But we still have watermelon coming out of the farms here and…

Hub’s Peanut Butter Cookies

Hub’s Peanut Butter Cookies

I’m a cookie person as far as dessert goes.  Ok, a cookie and cake person.  Alright fine!  I’m a cookie, cake, and brownie person.  Happy?  Geeze!  As cookies go, however, peanut butter cookies are my least favorite.  They’re just so….plain.  I like a snazzy cookie. …

Ahi Nicoise Salad

Ahi Nicoise Salad

The greens have been rolling in from the farm like crazy.  Not my farm, but a local farm we are friends with…DC Roots!  I love their stuff so much!  And they grow gorgeous greens.  The point is, we’re eating a lot of greens right now. …

I’ve been busy farming.  I really need three of me.  One to farm, one to cook, and one to sleep.  Then I could do a round robin.  Speaking of birds, we have a bird nesting under the porch roof.  Now we have to avoid that…

Wilted lettuce salad.  Sounds kind of unappetizing.  But if your kid isn’t into roughage, this salad is for you.  The ingredient list is short and cheap.  Just the way I like it.  Gramma used to make this salad after a morning of having bacon for…

Home Cured Ham

Home Cured Ham

Yes, I know.  Lately it’s been all things pork.  Well we have a lot of pig!  Thanks Jessie!  Not that I’m complaining.  And I certainly never get tired of pork.  So, if you’re sick of pork then just go away.  Because you’re raining on my…

I’m late.  Again.  In more ways than you know.  Ha!  Ok, enough about my meno.  When I’m not sweating, I’m freezing.  I’m over it.  I’m over so many things.  Like dishes.  I think every single parent knows the perils of cooking at home when it…

Trader Joe’s And A Steak

Trader Joe’s And A Steak

I have a bit of a condiment problem.  I collect, covet, and borderline hoard condiments.  I’m often heard exclaiming about a found bottle of catsup or whatever that I thought I was out of.  Vinegars?  I got twenty.  Oils?  So many.  Hot sauces?  All of…
