…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 [...]

B.) It’s chilly.

D.) My husband got in from that business trip at 1:30 a.m. this morning.
E.) I’ve been canning like a maniac for weeks on end.
F.) I have a hole in my heart that was created by [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

I’ve gone back and forth on whether to do this post for a while, so let me put it in reverse for a bit and explain. A friend of mine suggested that I run a regular Question and Answer post here on Foodie With Family. She also told me I was like a 100 year old [...]

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. While you can definitely buy Greek yogurt from the store to complete this dish, the homemade variety [...]
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.
