I’ve extolled the virtues of this handy and wonderful little magazine for years. It’s one of the few magazines in publication that I own every single issue of. And I cherish all 73, and counting. Each issue of Everyday Food, from the kitchens of Martha Stewart Living, is packed with simple, easy and elegant recipes that…

baking perfection
Yup, that’s right. Two days in a row with a form of the word perfect in the title of a blog post. Want to know a secret? That’s what happens when I have a full weekend off from work. Yesterday afternoon I made a treat to take with us to Megan and Paula’s dinner get-together….
candy making
I’ve had one of the best weekends ever. A weekend where we had no obligations. Just had two days of do-whatever-we-want. Yesterday, I made homemade chicken noodle soup. Today, I made a new granola recipe. It was ok. Not as good as my favorite, the maple-nut granola. Also today, I ventured into candy making. Last…
beef bourguignon: the results
I’ve wanted to make this since seeing Julie & Julia. A pretty easy version was recently featured on the PBS series Everyday Food and then in the most recent edition of Everyday Food’s magazine. If you don’t subscribe, you need to. You really do. Go. Subscribe now. There’s no time to waste. It’s seriously one…
my granola obsession: healthy or not?
My name is Michael Derr, and I’m a granola-making addict. So there, I have admitted that I have a problem. It’s that damn granola recipe I talked about a few weeks ago. I’m making it several times a week. And don’t worry, I’m not the one eating it all. I’m giving a great deal of…
the way too easy granola
So I think the only easier granola would be to just buy some at the store and open it up. I just don’t think it tastes anywhere as good as the granola I made this weekend. And as an added bonus, the aroma that escapes from your oven is amazing. I found the recipe in…
diy christmas trees
Last night I was catching up on some Martha Stewart shows from last week. On one of them Martha and one of her company crafters demonstrated the magazine Christmas tree. I was smitten. Some of you might now that I have a bit of a magazine obsession, so there were plenty around to turn into…
more with the pumpkin
I mentioned last week about my pumpkin puree shopping adventure. Now that I’ve got all of this canned pumpkin, I’ve been immersed in all of my cookbooks and cooking magazines trying to find recipes that’ll use it all up. As usually happens, I fell back on an old issue of Everyday Food Magazine. There I…
pumpkin shortage, my…
Just about daily, there’s been a report on the news about another grocery item “shortage.” First it was canned pumpkin puree now it’s Eggo frozen waffles. Well dang it, I have plans to take a pumpkin-eggo waffle pie to take to Thanksgiving dinner at Greg’s family’s. Just kidding about the waffle part of the…
roasted tomatoes
My first attempt at growing tomatoes has been an unqualified success. The plant has supplied us with mini romas for most of the summer. Finally today, I put the remaining bounty to the roasting test. Bathed with olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper and roasted at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Towards the end…
