Running behind? Don’t underestimate the power of the CROCKPOT!

I’m still thinking about last minute turkey strategies. If you’re running behind and you know that you won’t have time between today and tomorrow’s Thanksgiving dinner, here is one more quick fix. (Okay, quick is a relative term….this will accomplish what you want to accomplish while you sleep!)

Another recipe for decadent Cappucino Truffles

I recently had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Faye, a teenager who lives in Barb’s hometown, and who has spent some time hanging out with Barb. Mention was made on Facebook of the legendary truffles that Faye and her family make around the holidays, and I begged an introduction both to [...]

I haven’t done a thing to get ready for Thanksgiving. Is it time to panic yet?

This year seems to be exceptionally busy for my family. Usually I cook for several days leading up to Thanksgiving, but that’s not happening (at least not yet) this year. So is it time to panic? Nope. Not yet.

Italian Meatball Soup

This is a spin-off of a recipe called “Italian Winter Green Soup”, which I found in the Rodale Natural Foods Cookbook (a book that has easily paid for itself in the last 15 years in the number of times I’ve consulted it for canning information, and come back to wonderful recipes again and again–I highly [...]
