What’s New in My Kitchen Wednesday {Food Mill}

I have to admit.  The food mill (I frequently forget its name) only comes out of the cupboard this time of year for “Rosie Applesauce” but it is a must for making this applesauce and the kids LOVE to use it.  Talk about an upper arm workout.  Three kids and one Mama and we all have…

{Weekend} Reading: NATIONAL

I’m not going to lie. The national news links are items I myself want to read this Sunday morning. The recipes and food recall notices have been read and approved (by me). For various reasons, Miles getting his 2 year molars refusing to nap waking nightly every 3 hours, I just didn’t get around to…

{Back to School} I Heart the Crockpot!

Chinese Cabbage: Korean Pancakes

I made this recipe many, many times before and they are a big hit with Miles. I haven’t made them with cabbage, but are perfect for it. And honestly, the recipe calls for cabbage, I’ve just always ignored it. I have many korean pancake recipes (we have a few korean cookbooks) but I really like…
