My taste buds are fickle and get bored easily. I love to cook with the seasons as the weather changes—a salad and fresh corn in the summer, a soup or stew when it snows. Yet, this time of year, I tire of winter fare and long for fresh—especially this winter with the weather so oddly [...]
Tastes change. It’s sad, but true. A couple weeks ago I remembered an old recipe that I had made, and loved, years ago. I was longing for it— chicken, simmered in tomatoes, onions, and peas. Warm, comforting, easy to prepare and as I recall, very good. It was one of the first meals I made [...]

What’s for dinner? Such a simple question and yet, it strikes terror in our hearts almost daily. I have a confession to make—and that is sometimes I hate that question as much as you do. I know, I write about food and love to develop new recipes. But, when stuck between a rock and a [...]

They envision a class, taught by Roxanne and I, where we will share every taste, treat and tradition of the season. They asked if it might be taught in September so they [...]
Making a list—checking it twice. I make countless “to-do” lists every day. This time of year, the lists become way too long to get done 24 hours. Are you like me and race to handle what seems to be the most pressing—and then discover that some important things, like dinner, get cut off or get [...]
Holidays and baking go together. In my world, you just can’t have one without the other. I was actually preparing all of the food for Thanksgiving, when it suddenly hit me that tiny Red Velvet Cheesecakes would be absolutely scrumptious for the holidays. So, even though red didn’t go with the Thanksgiving theme, I had [...]
Have I ever mentioned that I love to bake? I don’t have to have an excuse—any reason to step into the kitchen and bake is reason enough. This time of year, the approaching holidays are certainly reason enough. It seems that many people are planning meetings or festive gatherings and a little treat just helps [...]
I have to get ready. Halloween on through New Year’s is a fun, wonderful, magical time of year—and I love every part of it. The season means food and friends, music and wonderment, parties and gifts, laughter and love. It is also the season of appetizers. I love to bake and I will take just [...]
Chili—let us count the ways. Fall is here! Football games with tailgate parties. Leaves falling. Cooler evenings. All of these are signs that it is chili season. In fact, it is National Chili Month. For many years we have worked with a Midwestern chili seasonings company, Williams Foods, and one of the highlights of the [...]
