This recipe is a guest post from my husband. All of his recipes begin with "The Best" and they are but, I'm biased. I grew up with my dad making a version of this every Thanksgiving. I always remember the incredible smell of the sautéing onions and celery. How I spiced it up to become… Continue reading The Best Oyster and Sausage Stuffing – Ever!

Earthbound Farm Experience
Earlier this month, I went to a farm - but not just any farm. I was invited to Earthbound Farm Organic’s headquarters in Carmel Valley, California. As I flew into the San Jose airport, I had a few questions about Earthbound Farm Organic and I was looking forward to having them answered. For the record,… Continue reading Earthbound Farm Experience
Monthly Meal Plan
While, at this time of the year, more of the vegetables we’re eating are coming from the grocery store or market and not our garden, we’re still eating what’s in season - even if we didn’t grow it and pick it from our little urban garden. Changing what I cook happens naturally because what’s at… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan

A new family just moved into our neighborhood and I just delivered a plate of these ranger cookies to them. Nothing says, “Welcome to our street,” like a plate of homemade cookies, does it? They’re a young family, with two small children, and all of the teenage babysitters on our block are doing a… Continue reading Ranger Cookies That Are Welcoming

Well, even better is when I get someone else to prepare them! With a very small, city yard, my gardening space is not… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan

As it turns out, it wasn’t a prize but rather several prizes! The National Pork Board had a… Continue reading Pork Passion Prize Winner!
Monthly Meal Plan
Meal planning while staying in a hotel room in Manhattan is pointless - especially if you’re staying in the smallest hotel in the city. What do you do when hunger strikes and you’re taking in Times Square? Head to the very tasty “99 Cent Fresh Pizza” and enjoy pizza by the slice while people watching.… Continue reading Monthly Meal Plan
Cooking with Cast Iron
The majority of cooking in my kitchen is done with cast iron pans. Cast iron pans are great to cook with because they’re versatile, inexpensive, and long lasting. Cast iron cookware is my favorite for scratch cooking but it does need seasoning, which is easy to do and once the initial work is done, it’s… Continue reading Cooking with Cast Iron
