Peach Season is in full swing here in Colorado, and we’ve been enjoying every minute of it! In addition to daily peach habits, the family has been feverishly ‘putting up’ peaches for those long winter months when a hard, tasteless, peach-like orb from South America just won’t do! Last week, we bought 40 pounds of [...]

Old Dogs…New Tricks

We’d like to think that we are “up” on current trends even if we decide not to participate (like pants that you wear around your knees instead of your hips or waist) but every once in a while something seems to have slipped past us completely without even a whisper. Given our combined parental and [...]
Zucchini Week at the Sidewalk Cafe
Posted in cooking, food, recipes, sidewalk cafe, whole food, zucchini, tagged cooking, recipes, sidewalk cafe, whole food on July 31, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Last week, while watching the kids cruise bikes and scooters up and down the street, our neighbor casually mentioned the abundance of zucchini in his backyard. To drive the point home his daughter came screaming from the house that she had just “found another one” that was at least 10″ long. Whether she was excited [...]
Chongo Bongo Bars

Everyone’s experienced it: a memory so vivid, you could taste it. Earlier this week at the library, MaryBeth and Junior were reading a book called “Jalapeno Bagels”, based on a Hispanic/Jewish bakery in Southern California. One of the recipes in the back of the book was for “Chango Bars”. While reading, MaryBeth had flashbacks to [...]
Hot Weather, Cool Neighbors…

Sunday was a scorcher and that made this week’s Sidewalk Cafe HOT, HOT, HOT! That didn’t stop us from enjoying some cold beverages, tasty food, and cool neighbors. Not surprisingly, most of the offerings this week were not hot – who wants to fire up the oven when the house is already 88 degrees? Also [...]

(Photo: Abbondanza)At long last Mother Nature remembered that variety is the spice of life. Fortunately the good folks at Abbondanza are in tune with Ms. Nature and thus this week’s veggie box had a HUGE variety of early summer vegetables. Good thing, as our creative skills were wearing thin after a few weeks of mostly [...]

It’s all coming together and it tastes good too! The term “synergy” is often overused, most often in the corporate world, where discussion of synergy can mean “we’re getting our act together”, or “no more turf battles” or even “you’re about to be fired”. What synergy really refers to is the phenomenon in which two [...]
Bribe to Work Day….

When reason, logic, scientific methods and acute sweetness fail, it’s time to bring out the big guns. Bribery. And not the vulgar cash-based variety, that only works on your garden variety oil-rich despot. This is bribery of the highest order: homemade-chocolate-based-goodies bribery. While your mind might be racing ahead to guess what sort of tantrum [...]
The Biscuit of Biscuits
Posted in cooking, recipes, whole food, tagged cooking, recipes, whole food on June 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
These are the biscuits of the proverbial grandmother…and while my grandmother had quite a reputation in the kitchen, I can’t ever recall her making biscuits. Certainly not whole wheat biscuits, made with real butter, and raw, delicious whole milk! We served these tonight with our crock pot roast. Heavenly… Whole Wheat Biscuits(adapted from Creme De [...]
Shop….then Chop ’til you Drop

We’ve all heard that we should “slow down” and spend “quality time” with our families and loved ones. Mealtime is often cited as a great opportunity for a family to “check-in” and “connect” with each other every day. Ever notice that those same pundits never talk about the importance of WHAT the family is eating, [...]
