    Yes, I am a 35 year old woman and I am beside myself with excitement about the upcoming release of the movie The Hunger Games.  This popular book by Suzanne Collins was made into a movie that is being released on March 23 at Midnight.  Read more >

    It is not often that I make something that I have no name for.  Such is the story of this...whatever.  I am going to call it a galette.  You can call it a tart, my father-in-law called it a pizza.  No matter the name it tastes the same.  Creamy, crunchy and tart, this galette is so versatile and I made 3 of these on Christmas day to take to all of our family gatherings and I only got a piece because my son didn't eat all of his ;)  And by that I mean I took his when he wasn't looking!  Read more >

    My house, like most, is hectic in the morning.  No matter how prepared I am to start the day we inevitably hit several speed bumps on our way out the door.  Dragging the kids out of bed after 3 warnings that time is running out, searching for the elusive "other shoe", or realizing that I need to sign something are just a few of our typical morning issues.   Read more >

    I don't know about you but every time I hear "peanut butter..jelly" I hear my 2 sons sing that irritatingly cute song by the same title.  There are 2 that they sing all of the time because they think they are cute (well..they are :) and last night was no exception.  I told them what I was making for dessert and they serenaded me as I cut up strawberries.   Read more >

    Once upon a time, all human beings were locavores, and everything we ate was a gift of the earth.   We only ate what was grown or produced with in a small radius of where we lived and worked.  Somehow, over the last few years the word Locavore has re-ignited a food revolution of sorts in Middle America.  I don't think that chef Jessica Prentice knew in 2005 that she coined a phrase that brings with it so many questions and so much skepticism.  Read more >

    I frequently get asked by readers of my column in the Greenwood Daily Journal for recipes that have little to no meat, are budget friendly and are quick and easy.  So I wanted to share one of my family favorites today.  I know a lot of you post your meatless entrees on Monday's so since this is almost meatless I thought I would try to slip it in!   Read more >

    A few months ago I made what is quite possibly one of the best and easiest cakes I have ever made.  That morning I had been trolling the Internet in search of a dessert for that evening.  I was Stumbling  around from one site to the next and lo and behold there it was....Light shined down from Heaven...angels sang!  I had found what I was looking for!  I already knew I would love it...It did have 'Butter' in the title after all ;)   Read more >

    My husband gets a few thing given to him from clients every year that we obviously appreciate but sometimes wonder what we are going to do with it.  One year we got a Chrystal Sherry decanter. It was lovely but it had a tacky plastic 'brass' name plate on it bearing the companies logo.  I tried to pry it off...ya, that didn't work.  Plus, I mean...who drinks sherry anyway?  Read more >
