Fall gets me thinking soupy thoughts, if you hadn’t noticed. I love pulling up to the table with a big bowl of something steaming hot, a thick slice of fresh, buttered bread, and a great book to browse while I sip away. When I’m serving soup for supper, I tend to do meatier, slow-cooked stews [...]

If you are feeling like you need to steer yourself away from the heavy/starchy foods of December, like me, then here’s a great recipe for you. It’s light. It’s bouncy and lively while still being wintery. It’s snowing outside my window and I’m thinking that this needs to be lunch tomorrow. You in?
WILD [...]
I love salad, but sometimes it’s hard to remember that I do. Salad can get boring, you know? I have to remind myself that if I don’t expend a little extra energy and get creative, it’s easy to ignore the much needed greens.
Here’s a great little recipe for a tasty salad that’s not *that* much [...]
There’s nothing easier or yummier than a good pasta dish on a cold almost-winter night. This one is light and lemony and feels good going down. It’s a refreshing change from the heavy Thanksgiving fare and it features one of my latest obsessions—Artichokes!
I recently discovered that I really like artichokes. I always thought [...]
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 [...]
With all the goodies to be had on Thanksgiving, we also gotta have our greens, right? But even the veggies at my mom’s Thanksgiving (no offense, mom) end up being fattened up by some manner of dairy.
There’s one classic recipe that illustrates this. Everyone has had some at one time or another. . . green [...]
I think we can all agree (can’t we?) that mashed potatoes are essential to the Thanksgiving meal. A Turkey Day dinner with out them would be, well, like Thanksgiving without the turkey!
Most often when I make them, I do them up with lots of dairy; butter, sour cream, milk—the works. But this year I’m looking [...]

No Thanksgiving table can be complete without Cranberry Sauce. I don’t care if it comes from a can or not, you gotta have it to complete the meal. But I haven’t always felt that way.
It wasn’t until I met my husband that I discovered cranberry sauce. For him, it was a must, for [...]
As a kid, I never could understand the appeal of squash. I didn’t get it. Either that or it was the way it was prepared. I mean, turkey, potatoes, stuffing—bring it on. I could down that meal with the best of them (and still can). But now, being a grown-up (am I, [...]
When I was growing up, one of my favorite things about fall and the arrival of macintosh apples in our kitchen was Apple Crisp. It’s the perfect fall dessert. Warm, sweet, cinnamon-y. Top it with ice cream and it’s over-the-top good.
What has made this dessert even more memorable is the times we [...]
