Back to School Breakfasts
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 10:00 AM
It’s that time of year—a time for breaking into new routines and getting a move on in the morning.
For me, when it comes to back-to-school breakfasts, the key is finding something ...
1. my kids will actually eat.
2. quick.
3. painless to prepare.
4. nutritious enough to quiet my inner mother-guilt.
Here are some recipes I have been researching lately that I think fit the bill:
Cornbread (even kids... READ MORE
Easy Peachy
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 9:41 PM
Last summer I posted a recipe for skillet peach cobbler, which is my favorite peach dessert.
(It’s really wonderful. You should try it!)
But that cobbler requires cooking the topping on the stove for half an hour, which is not fun when it’s extra hot as it’s been this summer. Also, as much as I love that recipe, it’s time-consuming. Who wants to spend extra minutes in a kitchen when it’s 90 degrees... READ MORE

Garden Tomatoes

Gals, we’ve gone all summer without a contest to celebrate our gardens and farmer’s markets.
It’s not too late, though.
Do something wonderful with your home-grown tomatoes this week…caprese salad, gazpacho, galettes….
Take a picture and be prepared to share it through the magic of Mr. Linky on Friday (post the pics to your blog, flickr page or similar site).
From those who enter our tomato “contest,” we’ll choose a winner at random of a gift card to King Arthur Flour.
Don’t enter yet…just create your tomato goodness and snap your photos. Contest will open this Friday.
Using the Peas
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 3:30 PM
We had a snow pea plant in our garden, and it was producing enthusiastically. I needed a way to use all those sweet crunchy little pods.
Enter a recipe that my sister originally found on the Kraft website. She adapted the dish to her family’s tastes and I further adapted it to my family’s, and all the people involved (even the children) think it’s pretty tasty.
And I love it because we’re eating those... READ MORE
Filling Buckets

We go apple-picking in the fall, and when I was a kid my family went cherry-picking every summer as well.
But I’d never been blueberry picking before, until last week.
Blueberries for Sal was one of my favorite books at a little girl. Do you know it? Little Sal and her mother go blueberry picking on a hill in rural Maine, and get “all mixed up” with a mother bear and her cub. It all ends well, of... READ MORE
Coffee Granita From Your Freezer
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, July 26, 2010 10:00 AM
I like to experiment with refreshing treats in the summer. Imagine my delight, for example, a few years ago when I discovered that making a healthy, delicious, frozen treat was as simple as putting a bag of grapes in my freezer.
Voila! Frozen candy!
But sometimes I like to try things a little more complicated than that. This past week, my love of frozen confections and my passion for all things coffee... READ MORE
A Very Berry Pie
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Friday, July 23, 2010 10:00 AM
For his 14th birthday on Tuesday, Eamon declined a traditional birthday cake and requested “pie with lots of different berries in it.”
The only problem was that I don’t happen to have a recipe for “pie with lots of different berries in it.”
The first place I decided to look was one of my favorite recipe sites: AllRecipes.com. I love how the recipes at this site are all rated by “real cooks” and there... READ MORE
Lunchtime Innovation
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 10:54 PM
Have you seen this?
From an MSNBC article about the Candwich: “the reaction [the inventor] typically gets the first time people hear about his invention: ‘Ewwwwwwww.’”
I can fully relate. A sandwich in a can? The idea kind of grosses me out.
They’re not available for purchase yet, but you can see the website here. It says there will be two flavors of peanut butter and jelly, along with BBQ chicken, which alarms me. At least peanut butter and jelly are shelf-stable ingredients in their own right. Chicken, not so much.
I have to say, though, that if this product does hit the shelves, I might find myself buying one just to see what it tastes like. I can only imagine.
What do you think about the Candwich?
