Because I couldn’t begin it on the first of April (tsk, tsk, superstitions!) I started it yesterday. Those of you that read me in a feed reader got an early introduction to Millie’s Recipe Rolodex, and for everyone else, well, today is YOUR day! This is going to be my new April project and you [...]

Look, ya’ll are just going to have to ride out this waffle phase with me, ok? I’m not stopping until I get to waffle brownies. (YES.) I looked at several recipes for French Toast waffles and so many of them had reviews that said things were too runny, too soggy or too bland. The recipe [...]

Grilled Cheese Story

Last week I asked in the open advice threads for some summer salad suggestions and I got a ton of ideas that I am looking forward to trying. I think that all of you are in love with watermelon- I had no idea it had become so sophisticated. I’m used to it being a backyard, [...]

W has moved on from eating whatever I provide for him, artfully arranged on his high chair tray. Oh no. He wants what I am eating. Even if we are eating the same thing. But mine clearly needs to be his. I doubt this is a trend that will change soon, and now that I [...]

So obviously I have issues with food. I am way, way better now than I was when I was way, way awful. For years food was never food, never nutrition, it was a drug. It was an emotion creator or an emotion suffocate. Mother and I have been doing more and more cooking at home [...]

egg strata

You ever have one of those days where everything up in your noggin is a jumble? I woke up with tons of energy (laundry! clean the kitchen! nurse the baby! read blogs!) and accomplished so much more than I had planned on that it sort of took my breath away. Then I looked up at [...]

spinach pie

Last night I made spinach pie (I added mushrooms and 2 slices of mozzarella) and Mother folded and stuffed more cover letters and resumes to put out into the world. We are leaving soon to spend the morning with GM. I am having a quiet, introverted day. You know the type.

cookie

I’m going to go into a sugar coma this week. Don’t pull the plug, I’m smiling. Today’s mail brought us something most awesome: a delivery of Frank’s Big Ones. Delicious and giant and beautiful cookies from Kym’s gastronomically blessed husband, Frank. It is the real deal here. Yummy homemade taste and a size that will [...]
