…Does writing two posts in a row with a sweet and spicy theme say something about me? In actuality, I do believe I can blame this one on you all, you sweet and spicy wildcats. I did, after all, put it up for a vote on the Foodie With Family Facebook fan phage. (Yes, I know [...] I used to think I despised cherries. This was some high-heresy for a girl raised awfully close to ‘The Cherry Capital of the World’.* Why I thought cherries were gross I can attribute to two reasons: A) I didn’t like the whole spit-the-pit thing. I was a tidy child. B) The only way to eat cherries sans [...] Cherry season usually gets away from me. It seems like I find out cherries are on about twelve hours before the end of the (what feels like a twenty four hour) season. I usually manage to get one or two glorious pounds. We dispatch of those quickly with a manic eating and pit spitting binge that [...] Welcome to part III of the series of component dishes (Part I, Candied Jalapenos a.k.a.

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 [...] Ow. Ouch. Owwie. Ooooooh. Oooooch. Oh it hurts! I want you to be aware that this recipe is not for the faint of heart or wimpy of tongue. It is a pure habanero relish. As in lots and lots of chopped fresh habanero peppers. Habaneros, for those who do not know, are one of the hottest fresh peppers [...] A few weeks ago, my mom made the trek out to Michigan to visit her sisters (my aunties) and my Grandma. One night while Mom and my baby sister were out there, the Shaffer girls (because that’s what they become when they’re all together again) and Grandma gathered around the kitchen table to talk food and enjoy [...]
These golden rings of crunchy, flavorful pickled onions are just about the perfect thing for topping salads or roast meat sandwiches, adding a unique touch and pop of color to buffet spreads and antipasto trays, and accompanying cold meat loaf. Plus, when you’ve fished the very last onion ring out of the jar, the [...] Dusky, ripe, juicy plums….
