Creamed Onions with Thyme and Sage This is a dish that we love and [...] Homemade Butter This morning, my husband Joe, had one of those ‘morning shows’ on. I wasn’t really paying attention to it until one of the ‘medical contributors’ made a statement something like “Paula Deen has diabetes from eating butter.” What? Butter causes diabetes? It’s not the highly processed donuts and white bread [...] This past week I didn’t spend too terribly much time in the kitchen. With tax stuff to be done, regular bookkeeping, my business getting this new website up and running plus getting what seemed to be a cold of some sort, kitchen time was at a premium. I did try a new recipe [...] > When I first began this blog, one thing that I did was share our monthly food budget and the results of achieving (or not) that budget.

I have only canned conventionally [...] > Each week Wardeh at Gnowfglins.com hosts the Tuesday Twister where we can share through pictures and words what has been Twisting in our kitchens.
