Food Friday: Slow-Cooker Moroccan Spiced Chicken with Apricots

I know. Stand back. I’M ACTUALLY POSTING ON A FRIDAY. ABOUT FOOD. I’ve really missed it, and been longingly drooling over other food blogs, but Fridays have just seemed to be the day where I have the most fleeting possible relationship with the computer, and while I know I could write Food Fridays ahead of…

Food Friday: Sour Cream Apple Pie

So today’s Food Friday finds me in the kitchen of my dear friend and accomplished cook, Ellen. One of the things I admire most about her cooking is that she always tries new recipes. She is a cookbook collector like me, but unlike most of us, she really gets out the cookbooks and tries new…

When food bloggers have lunch

This is a very late Food Friday post, but I can’t go another week without posting this deliciousness. At a recent meetup of mommies and current/future mommy & food bloggers I enjoyed the most divine lunch, outside on the patio, on a gorgeous 75-degree October day. And now, you can, too. The bread seen above…

In lieu of Food Friday: Harp Seal Release

I’m out of town for the day, and if I was a super techno-blogger I would research and write and post from my phone but….I am not. So Food Friday: Blueberries will appear tomorrow. If you’ve got something you’re sharing on your site today, please leave it in the comments tomorrow! * * * Will…

Food Fridays: Summer Salads

I could even show you a picture of the strawberry-rhubarb crisp I made last week. But really, this week is all about summer and…

Food Friday: A Roundup of Summer Birthday Cupcakes for Kids

Poor Henry—he’s been two for a few days and we haven’t yet given him any chocolate cake to shove in his face yet. (I did make good on my chocolate promise and gave him a few chocolate chips before bed on his birthday. “YUMMY!” he reported.) We celebrated with ice cream and presents this week,…

Food Friday: Best Pasta Salad Ever

Sob. It’s a rainy (of course) Friday. I have two sleeping boys upstairs—exhausted from the dearest nursery school closing ceremony you can POSSIBLY imagine, complete with songs sung so sweetly it made your teeth ache, individual odes to each child and butterflies emerging from their cocoons. Downstairs we have a teary mommy, who just rubbed…

Food Friday: Chicken and Corn Chowder

It’s about the fortieth rainy Friday in a row today, and while I greet rain with enthusiasm for the green growth it represents, I would greet it with slightly more enthusiasm if it fell on a day when I wasn’t home. With two boys. Inside. It isn’t just rainy, either, it’s rainy and chilly. Like…
