Today is the day: OAMC day. That stands for Once-A-Month-Cooking. It is a method for cooking a large quantity of food at one time and freezing it to use all month. My goal is to fill the freezer to make the transition back to the fall routine easier. We are watching what we eat more and want to avoid dining out. OAMC also helps with portion control, since I plan to package meals in thoughtfully sized portions. OAMC is a great solution for families, but can also be done for singles and couples, who may not feel like cooking every day from scratch.
When it comes to OAMC, i...

Here in Minnesota we seem to have skipped spring and headed straight into summer. Temps were in the 90s yesterday and weather forecasters are predicting more of the same today.
I officially kicked off the season with an impromptu al fresco dinner with my friend Lisa. She suggested we grill so I rolled my charcoal grill out of the garage, dusted it off and rummaged around my recipe collection until I found one in which I had all the ingredients on hand (not a simple task, mind you).
Lisa volunteered to do the grilling which was fine by me. She rounded up the charcoal while I got the chicken ready. The recipe was quite simple; just a rub made of garlic, dried herbs, boui...

Happy Odd Day
Feeling listless or a little off kilter today? Odd even? Today is “Odd Day.”Today, 5/7/09, is one of only six dates this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers.
I like days like “Odd Day” and like to use them as teachable moments for kids. A math teacher who delights in dates like today’s is even sponsoring a contest with a cash prize for creative celebrations of the date. According to www.oddday.net, “Prizes will be distributed to those who involve the most people in the Oddest Parade of Odd Characters, write the best Odd Ode, or create the best Odd Celeb...

If you are spending more time cooking at home and less time eating out (even at fast food restaurants), I have an easy recipe for you to make for dinner—Crispy Chicken Fingers.
I brought groceries for our dinner over to Jason’s and Katie’s home on Tuesday night because we were baby-sitting Blake. On my way over to their place, I picked up my 88-year old mother so she could join us for the evening. Great Grandma, Shirley, read to Blake while Jack and I prepared dinner.
Here is a pa...
