Cinnamon Bun Joy
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 9:00 AM
The Pioneer Woman has hers. Many other people have theirs. All get rave reviews from various quarters. And I have a recipe too. I didn’t, like, INVENT it. But I tweaked it to (what I consider to be) perfection, so I thought I’d share.
Cinnamon rolls. Yum! It’s Easter, isn’t it? The season of rejoicing is a great time to make these babies.
I like to make them for Sunday breakfast, because I can do... READ MORE
Best meal of the year
Posted by DariaSockey in FamilyFood on Monday, April 02, 2012 9:13 AM
It’s an object lesson for young families who are just starting to establish catholic holyday customs.
During the early years of our marriage, I read http://www.amazon.com/Year-Our-Children-Catholic-Celebrations/dp/1933184272 by Mary Reed Newland. She suggested a Holy Thursday meal made up of the foods that Jesus and his disciples would have eaten at the Last Supper: unleavened bread, roast lamb, ... READ MORE
Bean Me Up!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 12:00 PM
Lisa’s request for fish-free meatless meal ideas reminded me that I’ve been meaning to share a recipe for black bean soup.
I love beans, or the idea of them anyway - so nutritious! so cheap! - but I’m kinda spacey about remembering to soak them the night before. I’m embarrassed to admit how many bags of dried beans have spent years languishing in my cupboards.
Enter the slow cooker, and this recipe,... READ MORE
Bakin' Bacon
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 12:00 PM
I love to eat bacon, but you know what I don’t love? Standing over the stove while it cooks. And that job, never fun, is especially complicated by having to keep multiple young children away from the hot grease.
A few years ago I tried other ways to cook bacon. Microwaving couldn’t give me the crispy texture I like. Baking, according to the most common recipe I found, yielded strips that were nearly... READ MORE
Crunchy at Home

This is an indulgence, and therefore not particularly Lenten, but I did it last week and I just can’t wait until Easter to share.
Have you ever made homemade potato chips?
My goodness. If you are at all a fan of potatoes and/or fried things, you must try this.
These are not your grocery store’s potato chips. They’re a different breed entirely: with strong potato flavor and exactly as salty and crisp... READ MORE
Dinner for Two
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Food on Monday, February 27, 2012 11:23 AM
This post may seem a bit irrelevant to our wonderful readers whose tables are filled to capacity and whose biggest stress every evening is making a meal stretch and getting through the chaotic dinner hour. It seemed so very recent that this was the case in my home…
But now, with one off to college and the second firmly ensconced in high school life which keeps him busy and gone a lot, I find myself... READ MORE
Rolls to Gobble
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, February 16, 2012 10:00 AM
My husband loves slow-cooked shredded meat with barbecue sauce. I… don’t.
I appreciate the simplicity of the recipe,* it’s just that barbecue is not my favorite. My husband enjoys it so much, though, and it’s so easy, that we still eat it fairly regularly.
When I have time, here’s how I make the meal delicious for me: by making homemade rolls to serve the meat on.
I know homemade bread is not everyone’s... READ MORE
Spicy Tasty Pork
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, February 03, 2012 12:00 PM
One of the things I appreciate about Internet community is recipe sharing. My family eats much better because I’m online. Generally, if a lot of people like a recipe, it’s a good bet that it’s worth trying.
Many were raving about Slow-Cooker Green Chili Pork Tacos recently, and once I tried it, I had to try it again. And again. And again.
This recipe is easy; basically, you cook pork in a slow cooker... READ MORE
Deviled Eggs Dressed Up
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 9:00 AM
Smitten Kitchen is my favorite food blog, and last month she had recipe for Caesar salad deviled eggs that I bookmarked immediately. Then I got busy with cooking for Christmas and forgot all about it.
Fast forward to January when - having resolved to add protein to my diet - I pulled the recipe up again, only to discover upon careful reading that it’s fairly fussy. It involves two pans and a mixing... READ MORE
What's Cookin'?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Friday, December 16, 2011 10:00 AM
Are you baking this weekend?
I think we’re going to add these (which I found on Pinterest and traced to this blog) to our rotation.
Because they’re cute.
And because that’s exactly how much frosting I can tolerate.
How about you? Trying anything new for Christmas this year?
