I don’t need a thermometer to know the weather is in bone chilling single digits. A glance at the East Fork of the Little Miami river from my kitchen window tells it all. Still flowing, but very slow, with both sides of shore frozen. The extreme cold snap across our nation this week has most of us nesting indoors. I’m fine with that, since it … Continue reading New Fangled, Old Fashioned Oat Meal Cookies
Today on the Sonrise Morning Show, Matt Swaim and I were chatting about Pope Benedict XVI and the fact that we are mourning this beloved pope. We talked about some of his favorite foods of his homeland, Germany/Bavaria. (His mom, before she married, cooked in hotels so I imagine she brought some interesting recipes to both the hotels and her own kitchen). Here are some … Continue reading Pope Benedict XVI’s Favorite Foods

A while ago, Mr. Sifton talked fondly about his “relationship” with his old stove. I know exactly how he feels, since the stove I have is an older, electric stove with coiled burners.

And look, an angel of … Continue reading Story of Shepherds and Magi and Fun Edibles for Holidays

The first, peanut brickle cookies, is a family favorite. Not … Continue reading Peanut Brickle Cookies and Cindy’s Big Batch Oatmeal Cookies
Today Matt Swaim of the Sonrise Morning Show and I chatted about hospitality. “Romans 12:13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Hospitality doesn’t mean just entertaining. It also means bringing some food over to someone who needs it – new parents or somebody under the weather. Here are some tips on just how to do that, along with some of my favorite … Continue reading Food to take to new Parents or Someone Ill
When I was testing the cranberry almond biscotti recipe, my husband, Frank, kept taking slices off the baking sheet before I could bake them a second time. (Biscotti means twice baked). A darn good testimonial, wouldn’t you say? This makes a lovely gift from the kitchen, too – pack it with a couple coffee mugs or teacups. Cranberry almond biscotti Maybe you’d like to sub … Continue reading Cranberry Almond Biscotti
