What do you do when a neighbor kindly gifts you a 3 pound zucchini? You make zucchini bread. Lots of zucchini bread. And if you’re me, where is the first place you look for a zucchini bread recipe? Smitten Kitchen, of course.

Buying items just because they are on sale is only a bargain if you use them. Otherwise they’re a huge waste of money. Impulse grocery shopping usually comes back and bites me in the butt. My most recent example? Those cherries on sale at The Fresh Market were a great price. I was expecting cherries [...]

It should come as no surprise that I plan out meals in advance. When I do my planning, I try use a Garanimals approach. Remember Garanimals? The line of children’s clothing, originally from the 70’s, designed to let kids put together coordinated outfits. From their website:
“The kid-friendly Garanimals mix-and-match separates provide a simple, coordinated system [...]

On Call

The moment I picked those berries, the clock started ticking. One reason the strawberries you buy at the grocery store taste so blah is because they’ve been in suspended animation. They get cold stored which prolongs their shelf life. Fresh picked berries, however, have essentially been removed from their life support system. The morning after [...]

It didn’t take too long for me to turn to Google in search of ways to use those kumquats. Most of what I found were sweet dishes. There were a few pickled/preserved applications that looked interesting, but I wanted something that would give me instant gratification. So when I clicked on over to Epicurious, I [...]

I’ve been looking at a recipe for creamy crab bisque nearly four years. I figured it was finally time to either test it or get rid of it. Guess which one I chose?

Spend enough time doing anything and eventually you find what works for you. From the way you manage your finances to how you cook a pork chop. For as long as I can remember, I only ever knew two kinds of chops. They were either tough and dry or gummy.
Strolling through the produce section last week, I acted impulsively. For reasons I can’t explain, I grabbed a container of kumquats off the shelf and dropped them into my cart. I think I was seduced by their bright orange skins since I’ve never eaten a kumquat and don’t have a single recipe that uses them.
