It's November, and I think I've got at least three potlucks to attend in the near future. My crockpot is going to be busy! There seem to be more of them than there used to be. It could be that I just hang out with potluck-prone people and they're all feeling festive at the same time.…

A few weeks ago, the first Thanksgiving e-mail of the year went out from one of my friends: "Want to do our usual potluck?" The responses started flying, with most of the negative ones centering around family obligation: "I was pointedly told that my niece 'misses her…

My husband laughed when I told him this, but when I “grow up” I want to be a school-lunch lady. Not the kind of school-lunch lady I remember from my school days: hairnet askew, dishing up “turkey gravy” over a pile of (surely instant) mashed potatoes. (Ew, did I really eat that?) I want to be the kind of lunch lady who cooks food from scratch and brings the kids to the school garden to pick fruits and vegetables they’ll actually eat that day. Read More »

Last summer my husband and I were talking and he casually mentioned that the hillside at his dad’s cabin, a mere 30 minutes from our apartment, was covered in raspberry bushes. I don’t know what was worse—that he waited 5 years to tell me or that I never noticed that they were there.
That afternoon I hightailed it to the raspberry haven, dressed in long sleeves (those raspberry bushes are thorny!), and picked my heart out. In the days that followed, we ate raspberries—with pork chops, in salads, bars and spoonbread.

I went to a cocktail party recently and brought along a platter of these EatingWell Deviled Eggs. Let me preface this by telling you that I made a double batch with 24 eggs (48 halves) and I went to a party with about 10 people. When I walked in, people started rushing me…not to say “Hi,” give hugs and kisses, etc. Instead it was more like a stampede with exclamations of “Oh my god, you made deviled eggs!” “I was going to make deviled eggs and I didn’t. I’m so glad you did.” People were grabbing the little puppies straight off the platter. I was just standing there, still in my coat, with my bottle of wine in the other hand, trying not to drop anything. That platter was clean 15 minutes later. I’m just glad I made this healthier version, as clearly my friends are lacking in portion-control skills. Read More »
