After my admonition to remember coleslaw and beans in the Corn Dog Bread post I realized something; I had loads of bean recipes here on Foodie With Family, but not one single coleslaw. That was a problem requiring an immediate remedy.
You will note that the word ‘law’ is contained within the word ‘coleslaw’. That is because [...]
This last week, my baby brother Luke told me admiringly that I had finally done it.
“To which it do you refer?” I inquired.
“IT!” said Luke.
Luke was referring to this.
This sandwich blew my mind. It was the perfect sandwich. I do not use the phrase ‘perfect sandwich’ lightly. It is a very serious appellation to [...]
If I live to be a thousand years old I will never exhaust the possibilities offered by beans. And what is there not to like about beans? They are- all at once- so inexpensive, so nutritious, so easy to store, so delicious, so versatile.
If you’ve been with me here at Foodie With Family for a while [...]
I spent nearly seven years as a vegetarian; those years were spent subsisting mainly on hummus, cheese and big green salads. I long ago enthusiastically re-entered the omnivore world* but still spend a great deal of time conveying hummus to my mouth on various crudites and pita chips.

This is the second installment of my Southern New Year’s Foods series. Happy New Year!
Really, The Evil Genius and I complete each other. While I sit here on the couch with the laptop, contemplating pimiento cheese, he is watching ‘Alien vs. Predator’ and talking about which characters he thinks will be eaten. So see? We’re both [...]

Hey! We have a giveaway this week. Details are after the recipe. Stick with me, it’s worthwhile and will make your upcoming holiday baking projects sing!
We are currently in Week Three of a full-immersion ‘get-to-know-influenza’ unit study of our homeschool. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. We like to space things out around here [...]
Hi friends! The last few weeks have been maddeningly busy. We’ve done a lot of work on our house and property, camped, traveled, been visited, and had animal crises. I hope I have a chance in the next couple of weeks to settle back into a regular blogging routine. With all the fresh produce hitting the [...]
I come from a camping obsessed family. My Dad is, by trade, a camp manager. My Mom likes to take her blanket outside and sleep under the stars (she also wants an outdoor bath tub, but I digress.) My sister, Jess, and her family are certifiable trail and tent nuts. My brother, Luke, digs the camping [...]
