Wow Chow Cooking

A recipe titled “Like Grandma’s Chicken Dumplings” is a loaded one, for me. My grandmother never cooked (not that I remember; she was always busy shifting through mounds of paperwork, perhaps life insurance rates and retirement benefits?). But seemed to always serve Campbell’s tomato soup and tuna fish sandwiches. It was fine with me, because [...]

I’ve stopped fussing about my tardiness over the FFFF, lol. Oh well! I’m just going to enjoy the meme. Plus, I have a new WAHM job and things have been hectic, so I’m blogging a little less these days. Not to mention I have had NO time to cook! 1. What’s your favorite type or [...]

I spotted this recipe at Disney Family Food site, and WOW! It took all of 20 minutes to make and throw on the table… and the family DEVOURED it! I love edamame (I blogged about the nutritious little buggers here), and snack on them regularly. The kids don’t like them, though. Ah, but I figured [...]

I knew that diatomaceous earth is very good for treating worms in animals. I had no idea it was good for human consumption, too! I have been looking for food grade DE and found some at Earth Works Health. This article just blows my mind! Diatomaceous Earth is 84% Silicon Dioxide (Silica). In 1939, the [...]

I finally went out a bought a rice cooker several months ago. OH MY GOSH it was the best kitchen purchase I’d made in a long time!! Why oh why did I wait so long to get one of these?! For decades, I’ve struggled with trying to make good rice, but it always turned out [...]

I spotted these at Your Fun Family and started drooling. Oh I just love peanut butter and chocolate! Well, Melissa graciously allowed me to copy her recipe and share. We are making these very soon! Melissa didn’t say how many this recipe would serve, so I’m guessing it when I include it. Buckeyes Serves 1. [...]

Well, I’m not the only one who is late with the Four Foods For Friday meme, now am I! The creator herself, Val, was a little tardy this last week. Here’s mine, tardy as always! FFFF Week 101: 1. Do you have any food related New Years resolutions? 2. What’s one thing you’d like to [...]

I am blessed by four children who love to eat beans. I can’t believe it! I HATED beans as a kid. Beans are incredibly nutritious, and incredibly cheap! So I’m implementing them more in our diet. I’d like to have it so that we eventually have a bean dish of some sort two or three [...]

I know it’s an unusual name. It’s a very unconventional kinda recipe. BUT OH MY GOSH THIS IS DROP-DEAD GOOD!!! I am *still* using my leftover turkey. No no, not from Thanksgiving. Not from Christmas, either. Not New Year’s Eve, even. (My husband wanted a nice dinner that evening, so I made him one. Mmm, [...]

Oh wow. This is GOOD Rum Cake. I never had it or made it before this. Yum Rum Cake! I found a conventional recipe and altered it a little. It’s a tiny bit more “rummy” than the regular kind, but it’s not bitter or overly rum-tasting. This is an incredibly moist cake, too. My family [...]
