Spaghetti Dogs
I first saw this on Pinterest with no source given. I found it repulsive in a can’t-avert-my-eyes kind of way, and so I google image searched my way to the original. I showed it to the one person in this house (other than me) who likes both pasta and hot dogs, and he was all [...]

Libby saw this salad in my Flickr photostream last week and requested the recipe, and since it’s been entirely too long around here, recipe-wise, I am gladly typing it up and sharing it right now. I found this salad years ago in one of my old favorite books, Vineyard Seasons by Susan Branch (used copies [...]

It all started with a bag of apple “seconds,” a willing assistant, and a photo op. Eamonn was helping me break in our new apple peeler/corer/slicer, and I (of course) had the camera out for the occasion. “Let’s make a video,” said he, and before long we found ourselves embarking on a multi-part Flufy Makes [...]

I recently took my coffeemaker off of the counter top and regained about a square foot of space. In my kitchen, that’s a big deal. It’s not that I’ve given up coffee – I still have my morning cup most days – it’s just that I’ve found a new way to make that cup, and [...]

I originally posted about these slushy, delicious fruity drinks back in 2007. Since then, I’ve made a few tiny changes (and taken some much nicer pictures, if we’re being honest here) and thought it was worth an update. We make these smoothies every year when the weather turns hot. They’re like Summer in a Cup! [...]

I brought a tossed salad to a Father’s Day BBQ today. I gathered most of the ingredients from the Morristown Farmers’ Market this morning, and had intended to make my own salad dressing and croutons, too. I vaguely remember having done both before, but not being pleased enough with the results to repeat the process. [...]

I rarely have my act together enough in the morning to do anything more than hand out toaster pastries, let alone make pancakes. But suppertime? Sure, I can handle making pancakes at suppertime. Especially pancakes from a mix. Easy peasy. However, there was a disagreement last night surrounding the mix I had in the cupboard, [...]

Midafternoon snack, anyone? This recipe combines the ease of microwave popcorn, with the wholesome ingredients of stovetop popcorn. The kernels pop up fluffy and crunchy, with just a hint of buttery flavor. I love to make this in the evenings, when I’m trying to avoid eating anything too calorie-laden, or in the afternoon, when I [...]

Poor Neil. He doesn’t subscribe to the theory that soup can be considered a meal. It never used to be an issue between us, but somewhere in the last year, I went and became a soupie. I’ve been seduced by these steaming bowls of goodness. Where once I was of the mind that the only [...]

Definitely had a more “balanced” day today than I have been having. A little bit of computer biz work in the morning, a little bit of housework that wasn’t as painful as I’d been thinking it would be (listening to podcasts is my favorite trick for helping the time pass quickly during a tedious task [...]
