Hatch recipes are history for a while – I’ve moved on to peaches. Throughout the summer I’ve found it interesting to see my fellow bloggers in different parts of the country blogging about peaches. Greg and Katherine over at Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide: http://rufusguide.wordpress.com/ have blogged about peaches since late June. You can find recipes for […]
The last long weekend of summer is upon us and I’m in the mood for Hatch chiles and cooler weather. Labor Day, sends that message of less heat outdoors and more heat on the stove. Traditionally it has been unacceptable to wear white after Labor Day. Do you follow this rule? I tend to follow […]
If you can’t beat the heat- may as well join it! That’s just what we did last weekend when we brought home bags full of fresh hatch chiles from Central Market. We sampled so many food items with hatch chiles in them that we didn’t even need lunch that day. We brought home fresh hatch […]
I like this game. Thank you to Ryan for tagging me to play. If you’ve not seen her blog give it a look it’s called Ryan Bakes and you’ll love what you see there. She’s part Italian and part southern, and it makes for a fabulous combination in her kitchen! The reason I like this […]
This week school begins and I am the proud mama of a senior! I think she already has a touch of senioritis – is there a remedy for that? Yep! Miss T’s last year of high school and I am vastly aware of how fast it will pass. We don’t see much of her anyway […]
Way back in February on a day when the temperature was 12* outside I baked a batch of these “to die for” bars. I had mentioned at the end of that post that I would like to make them again using a smaller pan to see if I could produce a thicker bar. This […]
A few weeks ago my man Dan and I traveled south-east about 350 miles to attend my high school reunion. It was my 40th – yep, do the math I’ve been out of high school a long time. It was a successful and enjoyable evening albeit, too short. There isn’t much going on in the town […]
To quote Lucy Van Pelt in Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Today I made a Chocolate Pecan Loaf Cake, I’ve got love, but I needed a little chocolate. I am considering submitting a few recipes for a holiday recipe contest sponsored […]
Every time I opened my refrigerator in the last couple of days, the bowl of remaining figs I’d purchased at the Sulphur Springs farmers market kept beckoning to me. I didn’t want to allow them to go bad but hadn’t decided what to do with them. It was weighing on my mind. I decided to […]
