Seasonal Sundays (Week 10) Early March

Farewell, February. Make way for March! Whether lion or lamb, March is a welcome page-turn of the calendar. Food-wise, are there wintry dishes you haven't made yet this year? Time's running out! This week I gathered some recipe ideas for the cabbages that will be extra pretty (and inexpensive) this month, plus some savory ideas for lemon lovers. And more! Including the best book I've read in a long, long while.

Freezer Surprises: Surprising Foods That Freeze Well

Here are a few ideas of everyday, practical foods that may be frozen, you might be surprised! I don't mean the frozen vegetables or frozen chicken breasts many cooks stock in freezers. I do mean useful foods (lemons?! limes?!) that freeze surprisingly well, a great way to save money, avoid food waste and special trips to the grocery and, best of all, cook (or bake!) on a whim .

Seasonal Sundays (Week 9) Late February

It's a week for recipes – Friday fish, anyone? and do grab a rotisserie chicken, so many good ways to turn five bucks into a quick dinner. Plus the twinned occasions of the pandemic's one-year mark and this week's catastrophes in Texas have me thinking about family emergency plans.

Hey, All. Recipes for the win. Anyone need a last-minute chocolate idea? Recipes for a New Orleans-style Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday pancakes? Easy February-friendly dinner recipes? And more, naturally, including my first book recommendation in a year and a fun way to mark the beginning of Lent on Wednesday with children.

Seasonal Sundays (Week 7) Mid February

Hey all, this week is all about recipes for the big week ahead, bookended by today's SuperBowl and next weekend's Valentine's. Plus, here's one breakup that might well lighten your life: Facebook.

Crockpot Chili with Spicy Sausage

The favorite chili recipe from our family cookbook, made with simple but beautifully balanced ingredients. The technique is simple too, just brown the ground beef and spicy pork sausage, dump everything else in, then cook slowly. A cousin calls my sister's sausage chili recipe “magnificent"! I agree – it's now my own go-to recipe for hearty, man-friendly meaty chili. Real Food, Fresh & Family-Tested. Hearty & Filling. Budget Friendly. Great for Meal Prep. How to Feed a Crowd.
