Hot days require cold things to eat. That is the law in my house. I decreed it. And so it was written.
There is nothing quite like ice cream to relieve the heat from the inside out, but The Evil Genius is still on his crazy “I want to be healthy!” kick. And so, loving wife that [...]
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 [...]
The following is a partial re-print of my column that appeared in today’s Record-Eagle.

…And all those want is to be fed. How in the world am I supposed to say no to feet- I mean faces- like that? [...]
You may have noticed that things have been a little quiet from this end for the past week. I have only myself to blame. The weather has rocketed back and forth between too beautiful to write and too lousy to be inspired. And when I was inspired in spite of the weather the lighting was so [...]

Update: This recipe was submitted as an entry in the NYC Eggland’s Best Recipe contest…
Yesterday, Bacon Toffee. Today? Eggs in a Basket. Bacon and eggs. See? I’m practical…
And this dish? It hits all the right buttons. It is flavorful, cheap, easy to prepare, simple to customize, cheap, and kid friendly. And did I mention it’s easy on [...]
