You wouldn't think a post on homemade bread would include former husbands and cat, but what can I say. It all comes down in three-part harmony. So here you be--a three-part vid on me making it, a focaccia recipe and photos straight from the pages of Hippie Kitchen. Don't know ...

After the Sixties in Flagstaff where better to go and chill out than Indian County. Call me lucky. I managed to cobble together an education degree and spent the next decade out on Navajo and Hopi posing as a school teacher. It's true, I arrived looking for smoke and feathers--the ...

For those that haven't been following the romance, after Celeste appeared on the back cover of cooking Beyond Measure, friend Laura said in a rather fetching way, "I have a frog."
A moment of silence. My brows arched.
"Is he a boy?"
That's where it started and since then it's been a few ...

Here's a video on making Chocolate Goodies. If you don't have a grinder and go the cuisinart route, you might use a little brandy or juice to make things work.
The best thing about this chocolate offering is that those of us who don't like dancing up close and personal with ...

Polenta waffles go way beyond breakfast and become first rate Valentine's Day Engagement Pah-tay fare--or fare for most any other holiday party. If you have Cooking Beyond Measure, this do is on pages 42 and 75. Otherwise you can click around the blog for the recipes or just watch me ...

My friend Laura generally checks a cookbook out from the library first to see if she wants to purchase it. That makes sense, as does Amazon's habit of putting sample chapters up for viewers.

This may be a dish so easy that you won't think of it as really a recipe, but it's so good that I included it in Cooking Beyond Measure on page 142.
You can even douse frozen grapes with buttermilk and give them a whirl in the blender. However you ...

I confess. Since my husband and I divorced, I've spent more than one holiday on my ownsome in the company of less than inspired food. But this Labor Weekend, Laura my gardener--and cooking--pal included me at her family's table. She did wild Alaskan salmon and yellow pan patty squash with ...
