We’re doing a special Thanksgiving edition of The Kids Cook Monday, because what better time to get the whole family in the kitchen than for one of the most festive meals of the year? There are several parts of the traditional Thanksgiving meal that the kids can help with, and one of our boys’ favorites [...]
Wegmeyer Farms: Autumn Pumpkins (Mini Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cakes with Maple Glaze)
November 2, 2011 By 4 Comments
Wegmeyer Farms is off the beaten path, you might say. The last bit of road that goes out to the farm is definitely country with gravel, dirt, an old single lane bridge, and a number of deep ruts. But it’s a beautiful ride and well worth the trip to see their gorgeous hillside pumpkin field [...]
Football Tailgate Party YouTube Playlist
October 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Are you ready for some football? I never played the game myself, but I did march with high school and college bands in football pregames, half times, and post games for 6 years. For me, the best part of football season was doing all the band stuff and having fun with friends before, during, and [...]
Ticonderoga Farms: Autumn Pumpkins (Roasted Pumpkin Butter)
October 25, 2011 By 2 Comments
Autumn at Ticonderoga Farms means pumpkins, hayrides, and plenty of outdoor fun in their huge play area. Their pumpkin patch is a short walk from the entrance or the hayride will take you right there, though I recommend the hayride, which takes you around the bamboo maze and part of the Christmas tree forest. It’s [...]
Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Life always seems to get a little crazy around this time of year. We get caught up in school events, hockey, work, finishing up the summer garden and prepping for winter, but no matter how busy we get, I always set aside time to make apple butter. Whether we use purchased apples or pick them [...]
Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) and Where Women Cook: Celebrate! Book Release
October 17, 2011 By 3 Comments
Last year I was invited to participate in a book project with Where Women Cook, a new magazine about women, the food we make, and where we cook. The book would have a celebration theme, and each of us chose our own thing that we celebrate, large or small or anywhere in between, and share [...]
Country Captain Chicken
October 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Country Captain sounds like such an unusual name for a chicken dish, but once I learned the origins it made sense. A “country captain” was a captain of native troops paid by England in the colonial days, and it’s very likely that this dish or something very similar was introduced to England by a native [...]
Oktoberfest YouTube Playlist
October 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Oktoberfest began as a wedding celebration in 1810, so it seemed appropriate for us to go to Oktoberfest during our German honeymoon 11 years ago, and each year we celebrate our anniversary with an Oktoberfest feast. So when I was invited to join several other bloggers creating themed playlists for YouTube, I thought it would [...]
Indian Savory Yellow Rice (The Kids Cook Monday)
October 10, 2011 By 2 Comments
Rice is a common side at our house since we eat lots of Asian and Mexican food, and our pantry is stocked with several different types. For Asian dishes we cook with brown jasmine or brown basmati rice or a couple different kinds of short grain rice, depending on the dish. This traditional Indian basmati [...]
