This was delicious, and I think would taste fabulous using leftover Thanksgiving Day turkey. With a nice side of cornbread… yum. If you make it with leftover turkey, just stir the diced, cooked meat into the stew about ten minutes before serving. And if you...

Growing up, on special days my mom would pull a tube of refrigerated cinnamon rolls from the fridge and bake them, filling the house with the scent of sweet cinnamon and dough. She made them on every first day of school, Easter and Christmas mornings. That smell...

I’m a big fan of egg bakes. I’ve shared versions of egg bakes before (here and here) and I just can’t quit them. And really, what’s to quit? Eggs, cheese, meat… bring it on. Of course when I stumbled onto this recipe in the new Gooseberry...

I know. Christmas is over. Even the Twelve days of Christmas are over. And here I am yakking about it again… but I just feel like I kind of got gypped out of Christmas this year. Despite my best efforts, the season flew past and I had a hormonal meltdown last...

The seasons, they are a-changin’ round these parts. Temperatures have been in the 30’s and 40’s, the sun is setting around 5:00, and tomorrow is supposed to bring real snow! So it’s a cozy food kind of week, starting out with these BBQ/sloppy...

Husby made these one night when I was particularly sick and un-interested in food, but The Boy was saying, ‘Eat! Eat! I need to eat!’ So we thought dinner was probably in order. He put these together in no time and they were really good. I can see...

We love pancakes in this house. And add pumpkin… bigger love. So it was only right to make the very first recipe in the whole Hometown Harvest cookbook =) It made a nice big batch, and we have a couple bags full in the freezer. Helpful hint: did you know you can...

Every Easter, we’d get up at the crack of dawn and dress fancy. Since mom was the choir director at church, we had to be there early early. While it felt too early to eat breakfast (you know how your stomach feels kind of sour when you’re up before dawn?),...

Just a quick little recipe for your midweek! It’s from Gooseberry Patch’s new 101 Stovetop Suppers (which you can enter to win a copy of here!) Keeping it simple because I have a toddler who doesn’t sleep well, a board meeting for work tomorrow,...
