Pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes – Breakfast at Clique-any’s

It’s no secret that we love pancakes in our house (chocolate chip banana pancakes, buttermilk pancakes, all good things about pancakes….), especially for a weekend breakfast. It’s pretty much a tradition that every Saturday morning, Keith whips up a batch of the-flavor-of-the-week pancakes, often involving chocolate chips. We can’t change who we are, even at […]

My favorite tastes of autumn – Fresh Foodie

Join Debbie as she raves about whole foods, rants about chemicals and generally celebrates cooking and eating with fresh, local, nutritious foods. And sometimes she might get a little feisty…. We’re in the heart of it now… the beautiful season we call autumn. There are so many things to love about the fall in New […]

Daylight savings time makes me hungry (or How the sample guy at Trader Joe’s saved my life yesterday)

There’s almost nothing good about Daylight savings time. Now that we’ve changed the clocks back (fall back…), I wake up — mind you, at an ungodly early hour — and it’s light out. Yeah, who cares? I’m cooking dinner by the light of the moon and craving foods with vitamin D. How can that be […]

Garlic soup, mushroom quiche, apple tart – It’s a Recipe Roundup luncheon menu!

Entertaining midday is a luxury many working folk don’t get on a regular basis, unless you throw a weekend luncheon. But I’m telling you, this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy good food and a small group of cherished friends or family. From the show-off-the-new-house-to-the-aunties luncheon, to the I-don’t see-my-girlfriends-enough-anymore luncheon, there is […]

The Good Halloween Candy Pyramid – 2009 edition

A few years ago I performed a little social experiment that didn’t involve any virtual farms or cafés. I asked a number of people — fine, upstanding citizens — who ate white bread with their dinner and went to church every Sunday what they took from their children’s trick-or-treat bags on Halloween night. After a […]

A pumpkin feast, from one proud pumpkin – Fresh Foodie

It wasn’t a Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin, but the largest pumpkin we got from our CSA farm this season reminded me more of Bert’s head from Sesame Street. When Owen (the four-year-old) decided he wanted to carve it today, we really didn’t know quite what we were getting into, but it couldn’t have had a happier […]

Halloween orange muffins: a healthy treat to trick your kids

When I say orange, I mean the color. The four-year-old and I wanted to make orange-colored muffins befitting of our jack-o-lantern muffin pans. We (read: me) also didn’t want to use chemical food coloring in the batter or the frosting, so we came up with pumpkin carrot muffins. If you were jazzed by the idea […]
