I should let you know right off that my daughter named this dish. I wanted to call it Italian Vegetable Frittata, but she didn’t think that sounded romantic or exotic enough for her favorite frittata. She is a kindred spirit to Anne of Green Gables and often complains about the plebeian names I give my dishes.Read More
Southwest Steak Frittata
Frittatas are a great way to use up leftovers. They are also a wonderful way to sneak excess garden veggies into your kids at breakfast. And for some reason people are always impressed with frittatas. When I serve them, my friends and family always act like I went to a lot of trouble and IRead More

Menu Plan – Week of September 5th
I haven’t shared a menu plan in months. Our schedule has been crazy busy this summer and I have just been winging dinner based on who is home and how much time I have to prepare dinner. Last week my two oldest children started back to college which means order is being imposed on myRead More
Using Whisper Counting to Teach Even and Odd
As soon as my children are comfortable counting. I introduce them to whisper counting. Why? Mostly because it is fun. You alternate whispering and shouting numbers and children enjoy whispering and shouting, especially if it is in a place that you normally don’t shout…like the grocery store! Whisper counting lays the foundation for teaching the conceptRead More

Southwest Pasta Salad
I had some leftover grilled chicken from making my Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Fajitas. Even though I only grilled two chicken breasts they had rib meat attached, so one was more than enough to make fajitas for my family of five. I was contemplating what to do with the leftover fajita seasoned chicken when IRead More

Easy Stir-Fry with Squash
This is another one of those impromptu, throw together dinners that I wouldn’t normally share. However, I have felt convicted lately that I have not been sharing enough of our normal (for us) dinners. I am sharing this not because I think you should replicate this recipe, but so you can apply the concept toRead More

Pasta Salad with Squash
I am still trying to use up the squash from my garden. It may be a losing battle, but I am not willing to give up yet. In this situation, I could best be described as stubbornly optimistic because I am not just harvesting squash by the basket full, I am harvesting it by theRead More
Southwest Squash Lasagna
This throw together meal was delicious, but I must confess it wasn’t premeditated. I have admitted before that I often have a hard time coming in from the garden in the evenings to make dinner. Earlier in the season when I had lots of greens, I could throw together a salad. Unfortunately, with the exception ofRead More
How to Make Superfine/Caster Sugar
Sometimes a recipe will call for superfine or caster sugar. When you go to the store you will also find this sugar called ultrafine sugar, baking sugar, and/or castor sugar. But it isn’t anything special and you don’t need to pay a premium price for it because it is easy to make yourself. All you need isRead More
Vegetable Frittata
My horse, Toddy, came home from the trainer’s this evening. We are all thrilled to have him home, even the cats came out to the pasture to welcome him home. With all the excitement and commotion I forgot to cook dinner, so I ran out to the garden, grabbed some veggies and whipped up aRead More
Who Stole the Cookies…
Did you see the Shrewsbury Cakes I made yesterday? The ones for which I made distilled rose water last week just so I could make these cookies? The ones I piped with Decorating Icing and topped with Candied Flowers? The cookies that I was going to bring to a picnic at the Shakespeare Festival? Who do youRead More
Decorating Icing Recipe
I would much rather bake a batch of cookies or a cake than decorate them! For that reason, I make use of what ever I can to help decorate baked goods including toys , hollyhock dolls, and candied flowers. But sometimes piping is still required and that is when I make decorating icing. I think it tastes betterRead More
Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Shrewsbury Cakes
My daughter was a tomboy growing up. She preferred to be Robin Hood rather than Maid Marion. She would rather collect bugs than play dolls and the only reason she agreed to wear dresses is because it meant she only had to put on two articles of clothing in the morning. I was quite pleasedRead More
