I found this website purely by chance, doing a search for apple cobbler. Oh my word, how could I have missed this site before?! It’s Taste of Home. I’m sure you have heard of it– it’s a site based on the popular magazine. i used to get the magazine but stopped when the subscription cost [...]

As amazing and vast as the Internet is, I just can’t seem to find *the perfect* cooking website. It’s so different with cookbooks– do you have a favorite cookbook from which you cook ALL the time? I do, I have several. But it’s not so with recipe websites. Maybe because they are usually built around [...]

I don’t know, it seems kind of early for apple season. Or maybe September has just kind of caught up to me very quickly…. at any rate, all my local news outlets are reporting that Upstate New York has a bumper crop of apples this year! What’s really amazing is that the apples survived the [...]

Boy, I’m glad I decided to sift through my 1,300 emails tonight. They’ve been sitting there since December! They are my “tech” email subscriptions, and I usually browse through them, well, like every three or four months! But I found some really great videos, tips, software programs, and 4-month old news. :-p Anyway, buried deep [...]

I mentioned earlier that I downloaded a new app for the iPhone, the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Recipe Finder app. I’ve been toodling around with it a lot. I’ve built a list of favorite recipes from it. The best thing I like about the app is the ability to save a recipe, and the app with [...]

Oh, it’s winter– comfort food season! Unfortunately, I have been so busy with work that I have not been cooking very often. My poor kids have been forced to scrounge for meals these days. I just don’t have as much time as I used to, searching for recipes, tabulating the ingredients, writing a grocery list, [...]

Do you have an area in your kitchen that holds your recipes, papers, etc? I created a small nook in the kitchen–totally on the fly– and I’m going to be storing my recipes and such there. I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the area turned out. It’s more of an “everything” station. I created it [...]

Oh, I saw this recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter at Family.com in their recipes section. It looks so good! Store-bought peanut butter has become so expensive and is filled with so many salts and preservatives, yuk! Plus, I haven’t forgotten the PB recall a while back because a factory had contaminated PB with listeria. I [...]

Look at this screenshot. Doesn’t this make your mouth WATER?! It’s from Foodbuzz. That luscious dessert is Tiramisu, a luscious Italian dessert. The recipe is here, although it’s in Italian so i can’t make heads nor tails of it. Whatever it says, the dessert looks fabulous. I get emails from Foodbuzz just about every day, [...]

I’m searching for some really, really good cooking apps for the iPod. I love my iPod. I took it to the grocery store for the first time last week, because it had my grocery list on it. The grocery list app I have (Awesome List) wasn’t so hot. I like the app itself, but for [...]
