Happy Mother’s Day!
This weekend is a time of celebration — it’s Mother’s Day! I know this will be a special day for many of my readers. My weekend will involve celebrating with a somewhat ridiculous 3 different kinds of cake — Boston cream pie (made from a 1940s rationing recipe, historical and delicious), almond-ricotta cake (made by […]
Play with your food
Summer is coming up, and it can be tough to find interesting activities to fill the long months ahead. In general, I am not a huge fan of kids spending hours in front of TV or computer screens, but there can be some exceptions. For instance, web sites that feature games both fun and educational. […]
Juice Box Granita

Try a Cookie Swap
Last week, I went to a new kind of party for me — a cookie swap! If your family enjoys a lot of variety in goodies, you need to try cookie swapping. Here’s how it works.
Invite a group of people (parents, kids, or families) to the cookie swap.
Have each person or group make enough cookies […]
Peel and Slice
My husband is super excited about a birthday present he just received — he has been scouring our cookbooks looking for reasons to use it! What is this wonder gadget? An apple peeler!
This one little tool will peel, core, and slice your apple in about 10 seconds. After that you have one long ribbon of […]
