I had to really think about indulgences when it was brought up as a theme this week. I’ve been trying so hard to eat healthier over the past 6 months or so to fuel my runs, so I’ve eliminated so many indulgences from my diet. Anyone who knew me when I was pregnant could tell…

Adventures in … Apple Butter
A few weeks ago, Chris and I took the boys and went apple picking at Indian Ladder farms. As a result we got a bushel bag full of apples! C-man and I have been eating apples for weeks. I made and canned applesauce and more. We still have apples left. I hate to waste anything,…
Peaches, peaches and more peaches
As you know from previous post, myself and my family were recently on vacation in Newport, RI. While on vacation we had the time and the opportunity to pick some peaches. This…… was not something that I had ever done before. Always apples, never peaches. I was so excited because for one it’s cool because…
What’s New In Your Kitchen Wednesday? – Rhode Island Edition
So every Wednesday, we dish about something new, exciting or just plain awesome in our kitchens. Thus far we’ve done lots of interesting things such as new appliances, fantastic popsicle molds, and more! I’ve racked my brain over what to write about this week but had been having some difficulty because I’m actually not in…
Pasta!
This is guest blog by my husband. Dan worked for several years in the kitchen at the Franklin Plaza Ballroom and attended culinary school at Schenectady County Community College. He has a ton of kitchen knowledge and I’m constantly consulting him. He is my sounding board for so many ideas and he helps me out…
Beet Hummus
Alright, I’ll admit it, I am very new to the world of beets. They are not something that I’ve purchase before because my husband hates them. In our CSA share from Denison Farm we’ve received beets several times. Just about every time that we’ve gotten them I’ve blanched and frozen them for later use. I…
Zucchini Pickles
In the beginning of the summer I’m always excited at the prospect of eating lots of grilled zucchini, zucchini pasta, stuffed zucchini, etc. But by the time late July, early August rolls around, I’m typically tired of the stuff! So, just my late summer luck, we got about 5 more zucchini in our CSA share…
Campfire Potatoes
For as long as I can remember my Mom has been having a love affair with potatoes. She always says that she has never met a potato that she didn’t like. She found a million different ways to make potatoes while we were growing up, and she still does! She loves to eat them and…
“Real” Food as Fuel!
As is posted in the about us section and possibly in some other posts, both myself and Amanda are currently in training for the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon that is taking place this fall on 10/10/10. I can imagine that you’re wondering what the heck this has to do with food, but it does I…
Kitchen Gadgets ……… To Spin or not to spin?
So, I’m not really a gadget girl. Never have been, probably never will be. I find them to be annoying, bulky and just plain in the way, especially in the kitchen. I try to limit my kitchen items to the essentials. As some of you know we recently remodeled out kitchen and in doing so…

And if feels just like I’m canning for the first time!
Ha ha ha, I couldn’t help myself! Just wanted to post quickly to share some photos of my first attempt at canning. I was inspired by Chris and the great book that she shared with us “Put Em Up.” My Mom has a basement full of her old canning supplies, so I managed to hijack…
Grilled Pizza
I’m so proud of this success that I absolutely have to share it. We’ve been talking about grilling pizza for what seems like forever. But I was always too nervous to try it. These hot temps have forced us outdoors and into the arena! I always make my own pizza dough. It’s a variation on…
