I had one last butternut squash in the kitchen waiting to be used and this soup had been calling my name for a while. The flavor is warm and inviting, perfect for a cold wintry day, and the soup is easy to put together and easy on the budget using widely available ingredients. The recipe [...]

Popcorn with Brown Butter, Rosemary, and Lemon

Andrea — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:55:46 +0000

Popcorn has always been one of my favorite snacks, and as a child I got excited when my dad brought out the vintage hammered Club Aluminum pot and poured in some kernels. Sometimes we had butter on top, but mostly we ate it with a simple sprinkling of salt or occasionally seasoned salt. I don’t [...]

Weekend Gardening: A Cheap and Easy Way to Compost

Andrea — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:15:26 +0000

If you peruse garden sites and catalogs, you’ll find an abundance of products to help you compost, and frankly the prices can be pretty ridiculous. In our opinion, $200 or more for a compost bin plus another $40 for a pretty crock to store your kitchen scraps until you have time to take them out [...]

Mexican Spiced Butternut Squash Soup with Beans and Corn

Andrea — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:00:00 +0000

Michael isn’t a huge fan of butternut squash, but if you browse my archives you’ll see that I have quite a few butternut squash recipes. You might even think I am torturing my poor husband with all the butternut squash, but really I’m not. The sweetness of butternut squash just doesn’t appeal to him, so [...]

At The Martha Stewart Show

Andrea — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:18:50 +0000

The alarm went off at 6 am, but I really didn’t need it as I’d hardly slept a wink. I was too excited and my body clock went off at 5 am, though I managed to coax myself into a few more minutes of sleep. Breakfast was just a glass of milk, not enough to [...]

Martha Stewart is doing another show on blogging tomorrow and I’ll be in the audience along with many other bloggers. I am thrilled for the opportunity to see Martha in person and to meet more bloggers that I follow. Pim will be on the show making her famous pad Thai (I hope there will be [...]

Four Years and Counting

Andrea — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:47:16 +0000

Four years ago today… We were living somewhere else with our two sons. We found out we were going to have another child. I was playing around with recipes and porting them to WordPress, my chosen organizational tool, when I found a comment from a complete stranger. Then it hit me: people were visiting my silly [...]

Grow Your Own #38

Andrea — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:05:24 +0000

I’ve always believed in the innate goodness in people and I’m continually inspired by the goodness I see in the blogging community. Though we might be strangers that have never formally met, people reach out online and extend that reach into the world, making a difference in the lives of others, whether by sending [...]

Slow-Cooked Achiote-Marinated Pork (Cochinita Pibil)

Andrea — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:45:39 +0000

The boys start back to school today and Michael went back to work after a well-deserved holiday break, which means we have returned to our weekdays full of drop-offs, pickups, multiple schedules, homework, and little time for preparing dinner. Tackling big cooking projects on weekdays is out of the question, so we are making easy [...]
