Fall Recipe Connection: Savory Greek Sausage Stuffed Autumn Squash

November 4th, 2011 · 30 Comments · Recipes

I was thinking about a sausage-stuffed squash recipe for a few weeks. Twitter wouldn’t cough one up for me, and I never got around to a good Google search (or Swagbucks search, actually), so finally I just decided to make one up. It’s rare that I start from square one on a recipe; usually my [...]

October 18th, 2011 · 22 Comments · Frugality, Recipes

Most people would probably be rolling in the leaves this time of year. Not our family. We’re rolling in the apples.

They had pizza, he had an apple. The next day they tailgated; he had grilled chicken and an apple. My 2-year-old daughter Leah [...]

October 6th, 2010 · 17 Comments · Recipes

You can’t tell what you’re looking at in this photo, can you? Believe me, I wasn’t sure what was going on when I stepped in it in the middle of the night, either. This is totally not a wordless post. I just like to title things “Wordless Wednesday” to trick people into reading this post [...]

Recipe Connection: Roasted Winter Vegetables

October 5th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Recipes

I’ve been ready to try this recipe ever since my August trip to Minnesota, when my friend made me delicious Brussels sprouts and I tried fennel for the first time with my salmon. She showed me this winter veggie recipe with fennel in the same book as the sprouts and was even kind enough to [...]
