Quick and Easy Corn Bread
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, June 29, 2009
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
Summer in a Bowl
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, June 23, 2009
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.

Sabotaged
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Homemaking on Saturday, June 13, 2009
I had such high hopes for using the coming week to de-clutter.
Our weekend house-guests will be gone. My messiest kid will be away with cousins. I was going to get ahead of him for once and clean lunch boxes & uniforms and put them in storage.
The boxes of winter clothes were going to make their solemn journey from their interim resting place in the linen closet to their summer home in the top shelf... READ MORE

Pizza for a Crowd
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Pizza is popular, but it can be expensive, so I like to make it at home.
Sometimes I get fancy with a super-hot oven and a stone and gourmet toppings, but mostly I like to go the easy route.
My go-to pizza recipe is made in a baking sheet, and serves a [small] crowd - I made it last evening and five hungry adults and two children had plenty to eat, with two pieces left over.
The ratio of dough to... READ MORE
Bake Your Way to Popularity
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Tuesday, April 28, 2009
A couple of days ago, Juliette made a batch of banana bread.
As often happens with fresh baked goods aound here, the bread disappeared. Quickly. So quickly, in fact, that 7-year-old Stephen didn’t have any.
When he voiced his dismay, my heart went out to him. We baked goods lovers know the pain of this kind of disappointment.
“Tomorrow,” I promised him, “You and I will bake something yummy together.”... READ MORE
