Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

This soup turned out SO delicious! Rachel was impressed, I was impressed, what more is there to say? Are you sick? Someone you know? Do you have a craving for a week’s worth of meals done in one batch? Do you have a big gathering of family? You have come to the right place then! If you (…read more and get the recipe)
Homemade Chicken Broth [Updated]
March 15th, 2009
I was making chicken noodle soup the other today and needed some broth, so I went back and looked through my postings to find a recipe. I wasn’t really happy with it so I updated it just a little and am re-posting it here. I hope you enjoy it!
As you may have noticed I don’t use salt that much. I like to use unsalted butter, and I rarely put salt in anything I bake. I found that it is not necessary to add salt in order to have a delicious flavor. When I went on a salt-free kick way back when, I realized that chicken bouillon and store-bought chicken broths have a LOT of sodium (along with pretty much every thing else you buy at the grocery store). So I decided (…read more and get the recipe)
Energy Bar - Attempt # 1
March 1st, 2009
I love Clif Bars; so does Rachel. I also love my grandma’s homemade granola bars, which I spoke of when I wrote a review of the “True Delights” granola bars. Today I decided that I needed to try and make my own energy bar that is low in sugar, delicious and good for you! I thought (…read more and get the recipe)
Fried Green Tomatoes
February 15th, 2009
Way back when, in November, I still had tomatoes coming out my ears. Believe it or not, but I did. Half of them were not turning red though so I had to figure out something to do with them. I thought about making some green tomato salsa or fried green tomatoes and I decided that the fried tomatoes would (…read more and get the recipe)
True Delights
February 15th, 2009
The other day I was pleasantly surprised to receive some samples in my mailbox from Foodbuzz and their partnership with Quaker. Foodbuzz has partnered with a bunch of food bloggers, like me, and occasionally send samples as long as we promise to write a review. They don’t control what I write, as long as (…read more and get the recipe)

Baked Sweet Meat Squash w/Shallots, Raisins and Walnuts
December 2nd, 2008
With the winter quickly arriving what a better way to treat yourself but with some fabulous winter squash! I enjoy perusing the farmer’s market every week and am always looking for new or creative things to make. A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a small farm that grew winter squash and had a conversation with (…read more and get the recipe)
Pumpkin Pie from a real pumpkin
November 18th, 2008
I’ve always wanted to do this, and actually I have done it once but it didn’t turn out so good. This time is different though — it turned out GREAT! I used a whole (small) ambercup squash to make this delicious treat taste homemade and, well, delicious! Even after having a couple of things go wrong the pie still turned out to be good and it looked good to boot. This process takes (…read more and get the recipe)
Zucchini in a Crunchy Parmesan Crust
November 12th, 2008
Can you believe that I still have zucchini growing? Ok, maybe not, but last week I did. I picked three zucchinis and one of them had been there for some time. I can never figure out what to do with the HUGE ones, but Google and this recipe saved the day. Here’s what I did: (…read more and get the recipe)
