Like many other people, I have to dial back the holiday gluttony and return to a healthier lifestyle. Turmeric is heralded as a natural way of helping deal with inflammatory issues such as joint pain, liver disease, and so forth. I decided to try a chicken turmeric soup to improve our “natural” ability to deal…
A great quick meal to toss together at the end of a long work day. It uses things readily on hand and is a new favorite. It is comfort food, looks and tastes great, and has the added benefit of getting a little spinach into the menu. INGREDIENTS: 8 ounces pasta, uncooked (I use penne…
If I think of my Granny Hamilton, very particular food memories come to mind. A house on the farm that always smelled like apples. Gathering eggs and learning how to fry one a perfect over easy when I was only a preschooler. Lots of farm fresh dairy products that she used to make wonderful pies.…
My husband and I have a favorite restaurant and it has been our weekly date night place for many years. Needless to say, we have a small number of favorite things that we regularly order. I recently decided that my next great cooking adventure would be mastering the art of Asian cooking. I got two…
Bread pudding has been one of my favorite desserts since I was a child. It’s not fancy and is typically only made when I have leftover biscuits, buns, or bread that need to be used. But it is one of the most satisfying dishes in my repertoire. Today, I changed up my normal bread pudding.…

I’m always looking for something that’s a quick and easy treat to put together for a holiday. This Halloween Boo-Bark is the perfect project to do with your kids or grandkids. All it takes is milk chocolate or white chocolate almond bark and any variety of candies or salty additions you want to use. You…
When I was a little girl, some of my earliest memories include standing in my own Granny’s kitchen on the farm and watching her cook. Before the age of five I understood where food came from because I helped gather eggs, watched Granny churn butter, and helped her make applesauce. She did things the old…
It’s the end of summer and the end of tomato season. Someone needs to tell our tomato plants! When you have lovely, big, green tomatoes on the vines, you don’t want to waste them. Make green tomatoes something to celebrate by whipping up a batch of that old southern classic, Fried Green Tomatoes. INGREDIENTS: 2…
I just celebrated a milestone birthday and, as a reward, decided to try a new recipe I’ve been dying to make. Some recipes have to wait until a special occasion – you have to have plenty of help eating it to make it worth the effort. I found this recipe on Delish and it looked…
