Filed under: Frugal Food, Dairy, Recipes, How To, Summer Marisa wrote about yogurt making about a month ago. I would like to re-visit the subject from an extremely frugal angle. With wild fruits coming into season (like mulberries), yogurt is a great way to serve nature's sweet bounty. I can remember trying yogurt for the first time as a kid. ...

Filed under: Dessert, Dairy, Chocolate, Recipes, Holidays When I was a kid I was addicted to chocolate ice cream (side note: a lot of my posts start out talking about how I was addicted to some junk food when I was a kid - I'm amazed I don't weigh 350 lbs). But when I got older, my tastes changed from pure chocolate to other flavors, usually ...

Filed under: Vegetables, Dairy, Recipes, How To, Meat, Easter There are several standard ways I use up leftovers: an omelet the next morning, fried rice, and of course, just re-heating whatever it was, and eating it as is.

Perhaps the easiest thing I've ever come across in ...

Filed under: Grains, Dairy, Nuts/seeds, Chocolate, Recipes, Baking, Eggs, America, Sugar, Christmas Let's not get all crazy technical here by telling us that a brownie isn't a cookie. We already got all kinds of heat about dictionary definitions, etc when we told the lucky recipients that they were receiving the results of our cookie-baking chaos. ...

Filed under: Dairy, Recipes, On the Blogs, Eggs, ChristmasI have a bad habit of not thinking about holiday baking and other prep until Hanukkah and Christmas are on top of me (with a Jewish mother and a Unitarian father, I get the privilege of the holiday double-dip).

Filed under: Dessert, Dairy, Chocolate, Recipes, Baking, How To, Eggs, Sugar, Christmas Though I claim to be a Slashfoodie, I can't bake to save my life. I try.
