Today I won a battle in my semi-perpetual war to make myself prepare homemade breakfasts for my kids. And I had a major ‘duh’ moment. I made eggs. DUH! The original convenience food. Why do I not break these out for breakfast more often? Break eggs for breakfast. I crack me up. Oh someone stop me. I’ll [...] We’re looking down the barrel of another snowstorm that is due to begin this evening. The first thing I did when I saw the weather report was start a grocery list. The Evil Genius will be doing the shopping since he works right in ‘The City’ and we live in, well, ‘Far From The City’. The [...] Right. Let me get this out of the way now. This post is going to be short and sweet. Actually short and savory. My water heater has been broken since the wee hours of Saturday morning and I’m afraid that if I stay in one place too long (to type a wordy post, par example) that [...] Pots de crème, a.k.a. baked individual custards, are one of my favorite foods in the entire world. Just knowing that I have a few little ramekins of this heavenly custard waiting for me in the fridge helps me handle anything the day, or a child, throws my way. The Evil Genius gets almost weepy when he knows [...] Dang. It is cold. At least it is cold here in my own little corner of Amish country.

I used what little brain power I have available prior to quaffing a pot of Irish Breakfast Tea to decide that firing up the oven to bake would [...] My kids ate so many sweets over the holidays that I really thought maybe they’d be tired out on them. No way, Jose! Not even close. So back into the file I keep on (relatively) healthy snacks. I suppose everyone has their own idea of what constitutes healthy eating, so just for the record let me [...] Sooooo… Did I mention that we had more than 30 people in our home to celebrate Ty’s birthday? (A.K.A. New Year’s Eve. Such a helpful and cooperative baby… He was our little tax deduction.) And did I mention that with the notable exceptions of the rocking hummus my sister made and the fudge from my friend Beth [...] My wild and crazy crew was lucky enough to be visited by my Dad-and-Val (my counterpart here at Foodie With Family) over the holidays. After five days of relief for me (“Hey! Why don’t you go share that stream-of-consciousness story idea you’re developing with Grandma? She LOVES to read!” and “Papa is outside walking the dog. [...] Contrary to what you might assume from the recent lack of posting, we have not dropped from the face of the Earth. I have merely been draped over the couch in my jammies with stacks of books, knitting needles and yarn, empty cookie plates and dirty dishes piling up around me.
I have spent the last month in a [...] |
