Creative Re-use
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, July 02, 2009 10:24 PM
Last night my parents went to a potluck at their church. My mom took along a Mexican-rice style dish.
It was delicious, which I know because I tasted it. But the amazing part was that except for the rice, the dish was made entirely of leftovers from my mom’s fridge.
I like to think I’m pretty good at being creative in the kitchen. Last week I needed to use some leftover salami, and I improvised... READ MORE
Quick and Easy Corn Bread
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, June 29, 2009 5:00 PM
When I shared my family’s favorite recipe for corn bread on my blog a few years ago, I immediately drew criticism from some Southerners who told me no “real” recipe for corn bread calls for flour. Or sugar according to some.
I tried their recipes using only corn meal and now I can confirm: I am no Southerner. Blech.
I’ve also tried recipes using corn kernels, buttermilk, and chopped green chiles ...... READ MORE
Have Food, Will Travel

Whether you do it at the beach, at the park, at the zoo, or in your own backyard, summertime is a great time for eating outdoors.
I have such fond memories of the giant cooler my mom would fill with egg salad sandwiches and other treats (like Doritos!) for our family’s trips to the beach years ago.
Now that I’m a family picnic-packer myself, I am even more grateful to my mom because know the work... READ MORE
Summer in a Bowl
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 9:00 AM
Last week I raved about how much I love corn.
This week I’m going to share a recipe that uses it!
I love soup. It can make such a nice, simple meal. And soup made with corn is the great in the summer because corn is in season. It’s like the taste of summer in a bowl!
This corn chowder is light and has a wonderful concentrated corn flavor. I think it’s great paired with a fruit salad.

Summer Brings Great Tastes

With summer’s arrival, I have produce on the brain.
June in Michigan is way too early for fresh local produce, but the imported stuff in the grocery store bins is reminding me how much I love it when the abundance of summer fruits and vegetables finally comes around.
We’re growing our own vegetable garden for the second year in a row. It’s nothing too ambitious - tomatoes, basil, green beans, peppers,... READ MORE
Juicy and Delicious

I’m not a chocolate person. I will hardly ever say yes to the offer of a brownie, because I just don’t enjoy them that much.
And I will never say yes to a brownie if there is any kind of fruit dessert in the area.
I am all about the fruit desserts. I adore blueberry pie, apple tart, and lemon bars. (I have sought and found great recipes for all of those things.)
But at the top of my list is peach... READ MORE

Reader Amy Cara really impressed me when she sent along the pictures of these gorgeous cakes she made (See the Sacred Heart one after the jump).
She writes:

Skillet of Doom
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, May 18, 2009 6:25 PM
On Saturday I made one of my favorite potato indulgences*, which is baked in a skillet with a metal handle.
I use this skillet almost every day. I generally use it on the stove-top. During stove-top use the insulated handle is fine to grab with a bare hand.
But on Saturday I was not using the skillet on the stove. I was using it inside the oven. It baked for an hour. The entire skillet, including... READ MORE
