A list/ode to all the good food that I’ve been cooking up these past few weeks: – Veggie clearinghouse soup – Pressure cooker madness! Chili and potato soup, each in less than 20 minutes – Pumpkin and squash casserole – Molasses bread – Chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies – Spinach and pea pasta in […]
I want to lighten it up a little as we enter this week. I’ve been writing on heavy topics (both on the blog and in my private writing) because it’s better to let them out than to keep them rattling around in my head. However, I think we all deserve a good diet of sweet […]
When the food is in the oven, I start taking random pictures. Here’s to a bountiful, relaxing Sunday.
