Turkey Wild Rice Pumpkin Soup

A delicious and hearty way to prepare some of your Thanksgiving leftovers. Though it is not specifically in the recipe, if you have half-containers of leftover vegetables that you think would make great add-ins, this soup is a wonderful catch-all. I am prone to stacking the refrigerator with leftovers in unidentified pseudo-Tupperware containers that will attack you when you open the door.…

MHC Choral Forces Chocolate Fudge Whoopie Pies

Mount Holyoke College Choral Forces Chocolate Fudge Whoopie Pies with Strawberry Balsamic Chevre Filling

Every time my daughters have a concert at their college, I make Whoopie Pies for their Director. I don’t quite remember how this started. Somehow I knew Lindsay Summers Popeloved them. I got into a habit of showing up to concerts like a bag lady. I was THAT mom, winding her way through…

Lactofermented Dill Pickles

Lacto-fermented Dill Pickles in a Crock

Are you all ready for this easy recipe to make your own old-fashioned, brined lactofermented dill pickles?

This pickling process requires no heating or boiling, no refrigeration, no vinegar. They keep for months if prepared properly, which I can attest to because I still have a few jars we are eating from last summer. There are a grand amount of…

Peanut Butter Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup

Adapted from “The New Basics Cookbook” by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins, whom I believe have written one of my favorite cookbooks of all time and I sure am grateful I own it

The reason I made this today, instead of Cheddar Ale Soup, which is what I have been thinking about for weeks, was because I didn’t have any Cheddar. That is a first, I believe, as my home runs on Vermont Cheddar. So I took…

Sourdough Rye Loaf

Sourdough Rye Bread served with fresh chevre and honey alongside a hearty soup

I have been in the swing of sourdough bread making lately, with a batch of starter constantly bubbling up and over in my fridge these days, and ample honey and chevre to top it.

Roasted Butternut Squash Lasagna

*Note – I am that cook who throws things together and eyeballs measurements. To my best judgement, I have approximated measurements in this recipe. I urge you to cook to taste as well. It is a smarter use of your ingredients and your judgement. You know how salty or not you like your food, you know how much butter or milk are left in the fridge and should you save some for cereal in the…
