One of our favorite sitcoms poked fun at old folks’ homes last season and showed a main character sipping “lasagna in a glass.” He was very impressed that it tasted “just like the real thing!” I can’t imagine whizzing lasagna into an Italian smoothie, pasta and all, and stuffing it in a glass, but last

After a disastrous eggplant recipe that featured the new-to-me vegetable in a slow cooker lasagna – one of the few meals in the history of our marriage that my husband reminded me we simply did not eat and even gave away the leftovers – I avoided eggplant like the plague for years. We got a
If the only thing more frightening to you than “lunch packing” is “school hot lunch…” If you feel like you pack the same old thing day in and day out… If you’re bread-free and not sure what to do about it… Or if you feel like you’re in a sandwich rut, ditch the ‘wich –

Before you throw me over the cliff for even suggesting you turn on the oven in August, give me a chance to explain. First, I live in Michigan. It’s hitting 50F and below here at night, so our A/C hasn’t even been on in weeks. Second, it’s chicken season. As in, chickens are kind of

I’m pretty sure you could put anything you like in these muffins for a portable side dish, lunchtime option, or silly addition to an all-muffin meal. “Two cups of stuff” doesn’t make for a very good recipe, though, so I nailed down an exact structure for you to follow, then some recommendations to adapt to
All those myriad gluten-free flours freaked me out for about two years after our family went “low gluten.” Discovering a gluten sensitivity threw off all my baking routines. I had just figured out how to avoid commercially produced bread, tortillas, and crackers, all by making my own. With whole wheat flour, of course, soaked or

Would you serve a main dish of muffins with a side of muffins, followed by muffins and with muffins, of course, as the bread – and muffins for dessert? I did. My family thinks I’m goofy, but that’s kind of the point. We’re having fun with food this week. If you enjoyed my silly pancake

Q: “Mom, what’s for dinner?” A: “Pancakes.” “What else?” “A side of pancakes. Oh, and we’re starting with pancakes. Did I mention there will be pancakes for dessert?” Every so often, we have a meal of pancakes. With pancakes as the side. And pancakes for dessert. It may sound like this is a “compromise meal”

My husband is a frequent part of Kitchen Stewardship®, popping in and out of posts from time to time. He’s usually the observer or commentator of a situation (like this week’s real food party menu), sometimes the cheerleader, often the skeptic, and every so often, the pawn (think organ meats). Never before has he been

It’s a “you’ll never guess what’s in it” sort of recipe today. Like those black bean brownies from The Everything Beans Book, it’s almost unfathomable that a frosting recipe could have no dairy, no sweeteners, no egg…and still taste pretty darn awesome. I hate to call it a “sugar-free frosting,” since that conjures up nasty
