Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
The high temperature today was 12 and the low was -1. The normal temperature would be a high of 43! It is so cold I can only think of warm soup and roasted sweet potatoes to make all day, so that is what I did! I have two yummy soups to show you and they …
Book Update: “Sugar Salt Fat” has still been a really interesting read. It is not about nutrition, but the food companies that have stocked our grocery shelves for a hundred years. It is how they changed their products, how they changed how we see food and how they convinced a generation that they need convenience …
Book Update: I began reading “Sugar, Fat, Salt: How the Food Giants Hooked Us” by Michael Moss. (Photo from Amazon) Michael Moss won the Pulitzer Prize in 2010 – so, he isn’t some nut job trying to join the nutrition/food parade. Instead, this is a journalist looking into how the food companies have tried …
Book Update: I went to the King Arthur Flour presentation for whole grains and yeast. I can’t wait to show you step by step what I learned! I wanted to bake through and photograph a couple recipes first. They are such a cool company! Totally employee owned, they answer EVERY single question you ask online or …
Book Update: The “new books” section of the library is right by checkout. Since I have had the kids nonstop for… 3 months now… I’m not able to really preview anything there. I grab my books at the library and hope for the best! Like clothes at Old Navy or bras at Victoria Secret. Or …
Book Update: The kids and I have been reading Calvin and Hobbes for about two months now. I am pretty sure the parts about how society is just trying to make us miserable with ourselves in order to buy their stuff, the irony of deer killing an office worker in order to thin the ever-growing …
Recipe: As I may have mentioned before, I purchase my produce from a co-op here in St. Louis. I do not get to choose what goes in the produce box that I purchase twice a month, but of course the trade off is that you get tons of food for $22. This month I was …
Yes, I know it’s summer. But here in St. Louis not so much! This morning it was 57 degrees outside with low humidity. In honor of breaking the coldest recorded temperature this year (and ironically we broke tons of records last year for being too hot), I am making and posting Cheeseburger Soup! This soup …
I love Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup with the rest of them. Costco makes one that pretty much tastes exactly like it – cheesey, thick and delicious. This soup isn’t as thick, but it is huge on flavor and even my husband who hates this kind of soup LIKED it. So it is getting posted! Plus, …
Book Update: I finished “Divergent” and “Insurgent” by Veronica Roth this weekend. Yes, 1000 pages. But they are young adult books… so it’s more like 500 pages, right? Well anyway, if you liked “Hunger Games”, then you will probably love these books, too. Or if you can hold off, the third book in the trilogy …
