I love breakfast food, just not at the traditional breakfast hour. Something in me simply can’t handle eggs and salty meat and syrupy pancakes early in the day. (Unless Joe takes me out to IHOP; then I find I can handle the waffle pretty well. With a side of fried ham. Maybe it’s just cooking [...]

Well, Thanksgiving is past.  I hope everyone had a wonderful time preparing and sharing a delicious meal with family and friends this year.
This is definitely a food-focused time of year.  We all tend to eat more than we should of the kinds of food that aren’t what you would call Healthy or Light. It’s just [...]

My boy is going to a Waldorf School next year. We’re pretty excited about it—and nervous. The Waldorf style is a mixed age Kindergarten. So, even though he’s only 3, he’ll go 4 days a week, full days. Granted, we’ll probably work up to that over the first few months, but it’s a big [...]

So, here we are continuing this week’s FoodFocus of Great Grillables! Let’s get to it!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m about 7 months pregnant with my second child. People often ask what food cravings/aversions I’m having and how they differ from last time. Last time around I wanted chowders of all kinds—clam, corn, seafood, [...]

My husband loves corn muffins and corn bread.  In fact he likes anything corn. He’s not big on the vegetables in general.  We often debate about whether or not corn is a vegetable at all.  I say it’s not and even if it is, it’s largely indigestible and loaded with sugars.  And therefore, he can’t [...]
