Eat It How?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, March 12, 2010
Back when I had more free time, I loved reading archived columns by Miss Manners online. Much of my own behavior is not “painfully correct” but I enjoyed the etiquette maven’s quick wit and I learned a lot, too.
My favorite pieces of manners trivia are the ones that make me go, “Who knew?” because they’re archaic or contrary to our instincts about what the rules *should* be.
For example, do you know... READ MORE

Yesterday when I posted about onions, quite a few of you asked in the comments section for the beans and rice recipe I mentioned.
First of all, I want to point you to this post from two weeks ago, where I shared one recipe I enjoy and many readers contributed other recipes that look delicious. So you should definitely check that out.
Since you asked for it, though, I’ll also share the one-dish beans... READ MORE
Between Your Daily Bread

Wow! You all gave me some wonderfully “green” ideas in my recent post about salad add-ins. I’m going to be making some creative and delicious salads for more than 40 days!
Your ideas were so helpful, that now I am back for more.
I recently had a simple but amazingly delicious sandwich that someone else prepared for me. While I am fully willing to admit that the someone-else-made-it factor could be... READ MORE
Breakfast on the Go
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, February 22, 2010
I’d love it if I could eat a good breakfast every morning. Some days when the kids cooperate, I do manage to sit down for a fried egg or a bowl of cereal. But many days it’s not possible, and I end up scarfing down a piece of toast while directing potty trips and putting the day’s first load of laundry in the washer.
This is why I love the idea of a granola bar. It’s like a breakfast of oatmeal that... READ MORE
Rice is Nice

When I mentioned “beans and rice for Lent” in my post yesterday, I was using it figuratively to refer to penitential eating in general.
But then reader Ashley mentioned in the comments that her family actually eats beans and rice on all forty days of Lent, and she piqued my interest.
One of our family Lenten resolutions this year is to squeeze our grocery budget as tightly as we can, and give the... READ MORE

Do you have something special planned for Mardi Gras?
I like to mark the day with something out of the ordinary and it’s customary to enjoy a rich treat that uses up the sugar and eggs before beginning a Lenten fast.
With those thoughts in mind, here’s something simple and yummy I am putting together tonight for tomorrow morning’s Mardi Gras breakfast (I got it from the awesomely inspiring Bake until Bubbly: The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook... READ MORE
Enjoying Innovation
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Homemaking on Tuesday, February 09, 2010
I made rice crispy treats and minty brownies for the Super Bowl on Sunday, and in the process I got to use one of my favorite kitchen innovations: nonstick aluminum foil.
Are you familiar with this stuff? I grabbed it off the shelf at the grocery store once on a whim, and as soon as I tried it, I was hooked. At the time I was making my family’s favorite lemon bars often, and the filling had an awful... READ MORE
