RSS Feed Change
Dear all:
That’s it… I’m closing the joint. I’m done. Finito.
Just kidding!
Only wanted to let you know I’m changing my RSS feed address. So, in case you want to update, here’s the new address:
Ham, Sauerkraut & Apple Rolls (on cheese potatoes)
Don’t be hatin’! I really didn’t mean to do it. Honestly, I didn’t mean to post such a calorie-bomb this early in the morning, but I’m doing it anyway! Two simple reasons for that: a) you’d never forgive me for not sharing this recipe with you b) it’s just too good to pass up So, if you have any intentions of adding a teeny tiny layer of insulation over your…
Real Life. The Farm.
Special shout out to Wendy, for giving me the golden rice tip in a desperate plea for help. Why didn’t I think of this before? Okay, so I spent half the week vacuum cleaning and I had to pick rice out of every crack and crevice, but it was definitely worth it.
Brussels Sprouts Go Kayotic
I was bored, so I cooked. Sadly enough, I see a pattern there. The only thing I could find in my vegetable drawer, though, were Brussels sprouts. No biggie, we all like them here.

Sprits Cookies
So here’s the deal: you haven’t truly lived until you’ve eaten one of our Sprits Cookies at least once in your life time, then you can die happy. They’re heavenly. As far as I know they’re European cookies—I know they make them in Norway, the Netherlands and also Germany, though they call them Spritzenkuchen there. They’re not overly sweet—which is important to me—they’re delightfully crunchy, light even, and there’s just…
Keeping a Toddler Busy
We’ve been having so much snow, sleet and other bad weather on my side of the pond these past few weeks, that our outdoor time is limited to an occasional trip to the park. As a result, I’m slowly running out of ideas for how to keep my active and always chatty (read: the kiddo won’t shut it for more than 2 minutes) almost 4-year-old busy.
Chicken Palava (African peanut stew)
I have a pretty special (and simple) dinner recipe for you. Not so special you can’t whip it up during any given weeknight, but it’s a fun recipe. It’s different, and that’s exactly what we need now and then. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, it won’t come as a surprise to you that I’m a serious peanut-o-holic. I love anything peanut, and simply have to try…
