Monday is a big day for me and my good friend Martha. She moves her daily talk show to the Hallmark Channel and brings along a couple of new shows with her. First is Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer, starring Martha’s daughter Alexis and her good friend Jennifer Koppleman Hutt. The hour-long gabfest is billed…

peach buckle – everyday food challenge
Rustic and elegant. That’s how I’d describe this incredible Peach Buckle from issue #14 of Everyday Food Magazine. Can I be honest for a moment? I’ve been feeling like last week’s challenge was kind of a cop-out. I mean really, yogurt cheese? All I did was strain some yogurt over night. I hope that this…
mocha custards – everyday food challenge
Something sweet and simple takes center stage for my Everyday Food Magazine Challenge this week. We’re up to issue #12 and the recipe that I selected is the Mocha Custard. I’ve never attempted a traditional custard. The tempering of the eggs has always sort of intimidated me. I was always worried that I’d end up…
jalapenos – everyday food challenge
Today’s Everyday Food Challenge brings two issues together just south of the border. I visited the downtown Akron Farmer’s Market on Friday and picked up a basket of jalapeno peppers for a recipe from issue #11 and found that I had purchased so many that I could also make a recipe from issue #73. So…
cappuccino brownies – everyday food challenge
My partner Greg has declared this, the best brownie ever. And who am I to disagree? This post marks my tenth week of my Everyday Food Challenge. Ten weeks and at least one recipe from each of the first ten issues of Everyday Food Magazine. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve been very excited…
tuna nicoise salad
It’s that time of the week again. My Everyday Food Challenge update. This weeks brings us issue #9 and a perfect summertime french-inspired Tuna Nicoise Salad. Unfortunately, this recipe is not available at marthastewart.com. I’ve been thinking that I could create a drinking game to go along with my Everyday Food Challenge posts. Every time…
strata with sausage & sun-dried tomatoes
Breakfast for dinner? Yes, please. After a week away from home, and hours on the road, I was ready to find a simple meal to prepare for dinner on Sunday night. And who doesn’t like to have breakfast for dinner? It feels like you’re breaking a rule. Let me tell you, this recipe for strata…
southwestern chicken wraps
I’m up to lucky issue #7 in my Everyday Food Challenge. And this just happens to be the wonderful Thanksgiving edition of the magazine. Think that might create a problem in picking a dish to make in the middle of a 90 degree summer in northeast Ohio? Think again. The Southwestern Chicken Wraps recipe screams…
a difficult s(tart) to this week’s challenge
Welcome back to my Everyday Food Challenge. This week I bring you two recipes and a tale of a shopping struggle. So, after going back through issue #6, I had decided I’d definitely be making the Lemon Ricotta Tart. I mean come on, lemon and cheese. Um, yes please. The problem, I didn’t own a…
butterscotch bark (the short and sweet post)
Heat wave. It’s been entirely too hot this week to even think about firing up both the oven and stove for a proper meal. Yet I still had my Everyday Food Challenge to complete for the week. I went back through issue #5 looking for something that wouldn’t require a great deal of work (that’s…
