How much do you really know about your partner? My husband and I have been married for, like, a million years. I cook nearly everything he eats. He doesn’t even open the refrigerator most days, ’cause he eats what I give him and isn’t home enough during the week to wonder about anything else. I [...]

You know that feeling, when you just think to yourself, “Gee, I really wish I could give beer to my impossibly small, wildly underage children”? Polite society can be so restrictive. Blah blah blah brain development. Blah blah blah alcoholism rates and early experimentation contributing greatly to an increase. Blah blah blah bladdy blah. Well, [...]

We seem to have moved waaaaaay beyond the whole “A is for Apple… J is for Jacks” jingle. I’m not even going to link to the website for Kellogg’s Apple Jacks. It’s suuuuuuper annoying. And not really at all cute. Or nostalgic. And it turns out—Apple Jacks are now red and green. Not cool, Jack. [...]

This is it. The Great Gluten-Free Flour Test. I’m throwing down the gauntlet. It’s on! If you’re familiar with this blog, or you know me from my first cookbook, you know that I’m all about the all-purpose gluten-free flour. I don’t use a bevy of complicated ingredients in my recipes.

If that’s what makes people feel healthy and happy, and they’re not hurting anyone else, then I don’t want to stand in [...]

Have you ever tried my recipe for Maple Almond Granola? Oh, it’s good. I make it — a lot. And usually, I hoard it. Hey, a girl’s gotta eat, and my children and my husband eat, like, everything else. The granola is mostly for dear ol’ mom. But then I realized something. I make lots [...]

Do you celebrate lots of holidays in your house? My children insist upon celebrating every single solitary holiday, no matter what. Ask me if we have any connection to St. Patrick’s Day. Zero connection. They’re totally just in it for the food. Can you blame them? Every time I look at this overhead shot, I [...]
