About a month ago, we cooked a 20lb turkey for 3 adults and ... Read More »
When I was growing up, dessert was not an altogether common affair at our dinner table. When we did have dessert, chances were that it was cantaloupe, yogurt with fruit sauce, or fruit salad. However. However. Now and again, my mom would make an amazing and decadent hot dessert – a pudding cake. If you’ve never had a pudding cake before, let ... Read More »
I made these meatballs this weekend for a babyshower. Come to think of it, it probably wasn’t the best option to make, since the new mother as well as the host of the shower don’t eat pork and, well, these are pork meatballs, but that just meant there were more for the rest of us.

One of the many things that I love about fall is apples. Eating, baking, picking. There are so many apple orchards around us, so we watch the trees go into blossom in the spring, then develop the beautiful red apples. Our boys have been eating “an apple a day” ever since they were small. I also love using this apple ... Read More »
