Do you have friends who are miles away from home over the holidays? Thankfully there’s a way you can help make them feel a little less lonely.

Holiday Chex Mix Snack Shooters

Posted November 10th, 2011 by michelle.p

Here’s the scene at my house on Thanksgiving. We’re waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven. And waiting. And waiting. The lovely little phyllo hors d’eouvres, set out an hour or two prior, are looking a touch wilted, as is the cheese plate, which has been winnowed down to a sad, rather rind-y sliver of brie and a few grapes. The game is on, kids are running around, and more snacks are clearly needed. Enter, Chex Mix Snack Shoot... Read More ›

“Easy as Pie” Cranberry Cobblers in a Jar

Posted November 7th, 2011 by michelle.p

Let's face it. "Easy as pie" is one of those sayings that everyone uses but few people actually believe. Most people, when tasked with making an honest-to-goodness fruit pie, hem and haw before saying that a pie is beyond them. Nonsense. I mean that too - even though I’m a bit of a pie novice myself. When I “pie”, I worry about the bottom crust getting soggy and leaden with fruit juices. And frankly, I also worry about the crust i... Read More ›

Posted November 4th, 2011 by voodoolily

So you went on an apple-picking party, and got a little carried away with the orchard's cider press. Or maybe the farmer type gets you weak in the knees, and you agreed to more than you can possibly drink, just to buy yourself a little extra eyelash-batting time. Hey, we've all been there. Now you've got a couple of gallons taking up precious space in your fridge. Yes, you can just drink it; every day, at every meal, until it's coming out of you... Read More ›
