Taste of Home Equals Comfort Food


Posted by Kristen Doyle on Paper Palate.
Doesn’t it seem like Taste of Home magazine has been around forever? I believe the magazine is in its 15th year of publication. That is quite impressive for a magazine that is ad free and is simply a magazine full of reader submitted and test kitchen recipes.

Makin’ Bacon: Curing


Posted by Todd M. Johns on Get Your Grill On.
In this day and age when all food seems to come prepared and packaged from the supermarket, many old traditions have been lost. Bacon curing was something a family would do for themselves from hogs that they would raise and butcher themselves. Bacon was a bit […]

Speed Dinners


Posted by Kelby Carr on Kids Cuisine.
We just moved, and our house is further from my work. It used to be hectic making dinner with three hungry, whining, and, at times, screaming kids. Now that they are getting home a few minutes later, it is downright psychotic in my house during the time between arriving […]

Where are you autumn?
We haven’t heard from you in weeks. You are supposed to be here. The calendar says October, but the warm sun on my shoulders says spring. I look outside my window and even with orange trees and crunchy leaves on the street, nothing says you’re near. […]

Fall at Hickory Nut Gap Farm


Posted by Kelby Carr on Well Fed on the Town.
I’m not one to buy pumpkins at the grocery store. I would much rather get out to a local farm and pick my own. I love to experience the fall scenery and the autumn air, and to know precisely how fresh my pumpkin is.

Even though Chef Jill Davie didn’t make it on Food Network’s The Next Iron Chef, she was a spitfire to watch during her time there and we will miss her.  We were thrilled for the opportunity to interview her recently.  Here’s what she had to say:

Posted by Patricia DiGiacomo on Fit Fare.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find fresh Brussels sprouts at the Farmers market lately, so we’ll take a detour in our vegetable journey and explore one that I learned to like last winter - kale.
I’m trying to lose a few pounds and part of my program involves striving […]
