slow-cooker bacon jam – everyday food challenge
I have an important introduction to make. That, up there in the photo, is slow-cooker bacon jam. Intrigued? I was. You see, I love all things bacon. Well except for canadian bacon, that’s just ham with really good public relations. The newest edition of Everyday Food, on news stands now, devotes an entire section to…
sugar cookie, i think i love you
A couple of weeks ago I purchased the Martha Stewart Cookies iPad app. It’s a great app with over fifty different cookie recipes. Many from Martha’s Cookies cookbook with several newcomers, as well. I knew as soon as I saw the virtual cookie runway which would be my first to bake. Can I tell you…
Sweet Treats for Halloween
I have a confession to make. I’ve not always been the greatest fan of Halloween. While I totally get the part about collecting and hoarding the most candy you possibly can, I’m just not as enamored with the whole dressing up in scary outfits thing. I hate going to stores around Halloween where the employees…
sweet & spicy almonds – everyday food challenge bonus recipe
One of the things that I look forward to at the end of each week is a simple twitter message from Everyday Food Magazine called “Cocktail O’Clock.” It features a link to a special libation-of-the-week.

everyday food challenge – bonus recipe – carrot cake cookies
Tuesday’s Everyday Food Challenge recipe was nice and savory. As a bonus, I thought that I’d make something a little sweet from the same issue. I present to you the tiny Carrot-Cake Cookies. I have only one question for the editor that wrote this note with the recipe, “The cookies are also good (and have…
everyday food challenge – southwestern skillet pie
This recipe for Southwestern Skillet Pie from issue 17 of Everyday Food Magazine combined a few of my favorite things, cooking with my cast iron skillet and finely mincing a bunch of garlic. To me there is no better aroma in the kitchen than the scent of freshly chopped garlic. So you know how I…
pizza frittata – everyday food challenge
It’s another pizza-centric Everyday Food Challenge. I guess you know where by hungry heart lives. After all, the last time I featured the mini deep-dish pizzas about two thousand folks stopped by my little blog in one day. This week, from issue #16 of Everyday Food magazine, I introduce you to the Pizza Frittata. I…
orecchiette with sausage & roasted peppers – everyday food challenge
Cooler fall-like temperatures mean only one thing to me. Comfort food time. And this recipe for Orecchiette with Sausage and Roasted Peppers from issue #15 of Everyday Food Magazine hit the comfort food target with a bulls-eye. Can I tell you a secret? I’m not a huge fan of peppers. And for that reason alone,…
