Before I was a full-time food writer, I was a middle school and high school English and Social Studies teacher.  Each school year would bring dread and anticipation, the excitement to begin a new school year and the refreshed memory of how draining being a teacher can be.  It’s true that teaching is immensely rewarding, but the other real truth is that it is stressful and demanding in ways that many other jobs I have had didn’t even touch.  Every once in a while, the parent organization would provide lunch or treats for us teachers.  They would decorate the faculty lounge with balloons or streamers and deck out the tables with colorful plastic table...

Are you a Black Friday shopper?  Up at the crack of dawn to snag unimaginable bargains?  I’ve always loved the thrill of holiday shopping and on the day after Thanksgiving, especially.  Being out and about, we’d usually catch lunch or dinner someplace, especially if one of us was in from out of town and wanted to go to an old favorite haunt.  So, I have only recently discovered the joy of leftovers.  As a kid and teenager, I’d rather have pizza than leftovers, but as an adult, I understand the joy of turkey piled on leftover dinner rolls slathered with mayonnaise.  When it comes to leftovers, I gu...

I happen to hate creamed corn.  I was not at all excited when I accidentally opened a can.  Thinking I grabbed a can of kernel corn from the cabinet, I didn’t hesitate to open it to use on a taco salad I was making for dinner.  Blech.  It occurred to me to toss it down the disposal, but that kind of waste is really unconscionable.  So, I started to think about how I could put this incidental creamed corn to use.  The first thought that popped in my mind was to make corn chowder.  I do love chowder of just about any variety, and if you read my blog with any regularity, you know that I am on an evaporated milk kick—the perfect ingredien...

I ate dinner with my sister, Carrie, and her family a couple of nights ago. She made Tortellini and Tomato Soup with Rosemary. It was dee-lish. I am ordinarily not a soup person (quite honestly, I typically see soup as a vehicle in which to dip bread or crackers), but this was filling and extremely flavorful. Carrie made it with cheese-filled tortellini AND ravioli. Since pasta is one of my favorite things to eat, I liked the variety.It's a great soup for this time of year when the weather can't seem to decide to be winter or spring....

In my post on Tuesday, I mentioned that I’m vacationing on the island of Jamaica this week.  When Jack and I stared to plan this trip, I began to think about some of the foods we would be eating, like Jerk Chicken and Jamaican Rice and Peas (the "peas" in this popular dish are really kidney beans). I also looked forward to tasting lots of tropical fruits and fresh seafood too. Here is a really easy soup recipe to bring a little "island cooking" into your home this week. Spic...

What a difference a week makes in the weather. A week ago Friday when we arrived up at our cabin in northern Wisconsin it was 78°F. This past Friday when I got out of our car, it was 28°F. Yikes—it felt like winter. Here’s a delicious soup for cold fall and winter nights. I found this recipe in a Byerly’s (local grocery store chain) monthly magazine, titled Real Food. This soup is thick and creamy but still very light since it uses 3 cups ...
