Spicy hot is how things are around here.
From the weather to the produce to the activity level, everything packs major heat these days.
My garden is in a bit of a lull at the moment since cucumbers are about done and tomatoes are just gearing up, but the jalapeño plants are ready to go, go, go. My [...]
So. Is the room spinning or is it just me? I keep waiting for the opportunity to arise where I can kick off my shoes, lay on my back in the sand, find Bugs Bunny as Brunhilde hidden in the clouds, swim in a clear blue lake, and turn to a cooler fully stocked with everything [...]
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 [...]
Welcome to part II of the series of component dishes (Part I, Candied Jalapenos a.k.a. Cowboy Candy, can be read here!) to make the transcendent ‘Second to Naanwich’ that still has me obsessed almost two weeks after eating it.

If you’ve been with me here at Foodie With Family for a while [...]
I have to admit that Celery Soda is not exactly a normal sounding recipe. While watching Alton Brown whip together this recipe on Good Eats, my first thought was, “Celery WHAT?” My incredulity notwithstanding, the idea took hold.
And boy did it ever take hold. My brain kept trying to imagine how a syrup steeped with celery [...]
Did you know there’s a fan page for Foodie With Family on Facebook? Do you have any idea how lame I feel saying that? Seriously. But one exists, and it’s *blush* pretty fun for me. I love talking with all of you. Thank you all for weighing in on the ‘what do I post next’ poll. [...]
Can you think of any scent more bewitching than that of fresh bread baking in the oven? It is nearly impossible to concentrate when I smell it. While the bread bakes my brain rummages through its box of all my favorite ways to eat a loaf hot from the oven; Should it be blueberry jam? Cold [...]
