  Even better than brownies

  04.02.08 | Permalink | 23 Comments

  I know, I know, I’m afraid for my eternal salvation too. You just shouldn’t go around saying blasphemous things, however cool you think you want to be. But, it’s true. I cannot deny that I have found something even better than Duncan Hines bulk brownie mix: Homemade Oreos. Not those nasty “homemade” things that involve [...]

  Saag Shorba (Spinach-Curry-Tomato Soup) and Naan, Americanized beyond (almost) all recognition

  03.06.08 | Permalink | 10 Comments

  Soup is as forgiving, if not as forgetful, as a little child. Once, after a hard day — trust me, it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day — I completely forgot myself and slapped Susan on the mouth mid-scream. She screamed louder (yep, that worked really well) and then threw herself into [...]

  WFMW: Pizza, Pizza, Calzone!

  02.27.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Who remembers playing Duck, Duck, Goose? And did you ever use different terms, like Chapstick, Chapstick, Lipstick? Good, me neither. How incredibly lame that would’ve been. So far, my kids are too young for Duck, Duck, Goose. But when they get a little older, we might just have to play Pizza, Pizza, Calzone, ’cause that’s [...]

  My favorite muffins and fun with favicons (cooking! and blogging!) — Updated (I’ve always wanted to say that)

  02.16.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Don’t worry. I don’t use endearments like ‘muffin’ or ‘cupcake’ for the people I live with. Though it is pretty irresistible when Susan is kind enough to inform me, while I change Spot’s diaper for the second time in 10 minutes, that We don’t eat poop. We eat corn. Or when Sally talks Susan into [...]

  Shrek Shakes and Twinkies

  Since it’s like Siberia here, I’ve been looking for alternate ways of keeping the kids busy interested, active, and thriving. I think we’ve punished the other library patrons enough for one winter, and Utah malls are pretty skimpy when it comes to play places. Lately we’ve been enjoying the Costco lunch. Well, the Costco after-school [...]

  Best everyday breakfast

  01.09.08 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  It should be cheap, easy, and tasty (not necessarily in that order). Breakfast on a school morning for three kids and a late hubby: something Spot can feed to herself (having to spoon-feed the baby is another reason to boycott jar babyfood), and Dick can take on a paper towel out the door. Even better [...]

  Adventures in yogurt making

  11.12.07 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  I used to think, back when I was young and arrogant, that cooking was a pretty lame pasttime, a drudgery to be endured by downtrodden housewives. And sometimes it is a chore to throw together one more dinner on a tight budget. But, while I like a good greasy fast-food meal as much as my [...]
