If you like Italian-style salad dressings, you need to give this dressing a try! Personally, I have a big problem with salt. I call myself a salt-aholic–I’ll munch the stuff by itself and love every lick. I’ve even wondered (but never tested) whether I might process sodium differently than others and may need more of it.

I found this recipe in Parents Magazine a few years back. I had to modify it to edit out egg and for our personal tastes, and it’s now a popular dish in our household. This is a great way to make your own fish sticks, without all the extra junk that’s in frozen ones! It Read More …

Most pumpkin soups are sweet, but this one isn’t, which is great if you don’t want sweet for your main course. Adjust the amount of hot sauce and chili powder depending on how much you can take Read More …
I believe I’ve mentioned before that I love pumpkins. Growing them, carving them, eating them! Oh, this time of year and pumpkins! Whether you like to carve pumpkins or cook their flesh into puree, you wind up with a lot of pumpkin seeds. You can save some to plant, but otherwise you’re mostly throwing them Read More …
I just wanted to share a quick note about my favorite way to get rid of unsafe Halloween candy! After trick-or-treating for the last three years, hubby and I sort the kids’ candy into safe and unsafe piles. We keep some of the unsafe stuff for our own consumption, but what to do with the Read More …
