What this soup lacks in looks, it makes up for in taste and time. It takes all of 5 minutes to prepare it and another 15 minutes (or so) to cook it. Once it's done, adults and kids alike will devour it. CREAMY CORN SOUP 16oz. corn (I use one bag of frozen corn) 1/2t … Continue reading Creamy corn soup
Pumpkin “Pi” Day
My boarder has turned us all into a bit of a nerd. But, if you consider nerdy as the new cool (as we do), then that makes us fabulous. This "pi" is because we love her. Had I thought ahead (and it wasn't almost Purim!), I would have used white chocolate chips. Those go much … Continue reading Pumpkin “Pi” Day
Thanksgiving round up
I'm happy to report that I am not making Thanksgiving this year. I can't remember the last time I didn't make it, but this year I managed to pass the torch.

"Free" as in I had no responsibility other than hanging out at home with two of my kids. I assure you, I had no intention of cooking during these … Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Meets Pop Tart

It's not that I didn't know the date--I just didn't realize November had flown by so fast. Since then, I … Continue reading Wild rice and root vegetables for Thanksgiving
Everything but the pie
November somehow crept up on me yesterday, which means my family will be in town for Thanksgiving in a few weeks. I have no idea what I'm making for the meal, but I know this much: they'll expect pumpkin squares for dessert. These squares are yummy and gooey, and they have the added advantage of … Continue reading Everything but the pie
