It snowed on Saturday, and it has been cold and windy ever since. While that’s just not right for this early in October, the frosty weather has definitely opened the gates for all forms of comfort food. (Not that it takes much for me to open those proverbial gates.)
For our girls’ night this week, Abbie [...]

I know, the title of this post is a little unlikely. But seriously – this is probably the lightest, most chic beef stroganoff recipe (wow…chic? really? beef?) that I’ve ever eaten.
On Tuesday evenings, while our husbands work/play/go to class, K, our good friend Abbie, and I make dinner together. There is always a lot of [...]
What does a teapot say to its lover?
Answer: Oh, Darjeeling!
Hahahahahahahaa. Ha. Eh. Hmm…
As a follow-up to K’s post about everyone’s favorite, coffee, I thought I should give some props to its ancient and adored relative: tea. Maybe coffee/espresso is all the rage, but tea has always had its place and isn’t losing steam. (wow – [...]

I had to make bread.
What? Did you think I was going to [...]

Today’s Homage blog tour features two of my new favorite food blogs. I love food blogs, don’t you?
These gems, Not Without Salt and Sprouted Kitchen, keep me coming back for their amazing photos and tantalizing recipes. And for some reason I am always reading them around noon. At my sad little desk. With no pretty [...]
Earlier today, my friend Roxy inquired via email about our recent canning escapades. I replied: “The idea of canning your homegrown vegetables is quaint and praiseworthy. The act of canning your vegetables is lamentable.”
And now, I am going to subject you to a post about canning. I just wanted to be up-front with you, because [...]
… I say, “Holy crap, where is my kitchen table?”
The garden, though it has certainly left the innocent stage of neatly planted rows and looks like a giant leafy monster, is definitely producing. This picture was taken last week. Multiply it by, like, 7, and that’s how many are now piled in bowls on my table, and [...]

And now, for the first time in Homage history, K posts a recipe!
Is there anything better than warm chocolate chip cookies? I can’t think of anything. Well, maybe fresh chocolate chip cookie dough……but I digress. I know what you’re thinking: K, everyone has made chocolate chip cookies at least once. We know you don’t spend [...]
