Two bloggers, Michelle of Bleeding Espresso and Sara of Ms. Adventures in Italy have been getting the word out about ovarian cancer during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. They've put together an O Foods Contest, and Michelle is also involved with Teal Toes for Ovarian Cancer Awareness. For the "O" Foods ...
We're having warmer weather at the moment, but last week things were still on the chilly side. Con and I were also still adjusting to the new school year - papers to write, papers to grade, a new theater schedule, homework, homework, homework, lesson planning, etc. It seemed like a ...
As many of us are only too aware, yesterday was the first day of school in Michigan. And like many other moms, I wanted the dinner after the first day to be something I knew my son would enjoy, as well as something that would be healthy and filling. Being ...
Labor Day can be a very social time or not so much. We have a mix this weekend - we had a dinner with friends last night, I had friends over for breakfast this morning, but the rest of the weekend will be spent at Dancing in the Streets, Radio ...
For more than a year, Dave and I have been intrigued by the fliers that went up around the fourth week of the month at Sparrow Market - various "feasts" were to be had on third Sundays. Often they were Italian; always, they reflected the season. As so often happens ...
Whether we like it or not, fall is in the air. From a culinary standpoint, that's not a bad thing; while we'll miss the blueberries and peaches, the temptations of apples and squash are just ahead. The first apples, in fact, have begun to appear at the Farmers Market over ...
Despite the fact that rain derailed some of our initial plans, the a2eatwrite family had a good staycation last week. There were a variety of culinary things we wanted to do, but honestly, after fitting in just a few of them, we decided to save others for later, just because ...
The term "locavore" has become a buzz word. I don't mean this in any kind of negative way - I'm all about eating fresh, local food. Be that as it may, there has been particular emphasis on the idea of eating local and eating natural during the past few years. ...
Note: this entry has been republished with corrected information. Yeah, that's not a typo. Real borshch is hard to transliterate, and as it's been pointed out, the correct English spelling is borscht - but I'm focusing on the transliteration here.

"Return to your senses." That's what John Roos tells students in his coffee roasting classes. John Roos loves his coffee. You can see, smell and taste the love in every cup. John would like everyone to really get down and dirty with their coffee - smell it, run their fingers ...
I had the farm share of all farm shares last week, as our share partners were out of town and it is most definitely peak season. Our Tantre box was filled to the brim with corn and lettuce, beets and eggplant, basil, parsley, summer squash, carrots, both green beans and ...
You have a toddler. Or maybe you have two strapping teenagers. You and your significant other both work. You believe in great nutrition for your family, as well as the restorative power of dinners at home. Maybe you're single, busy and want to eat a healthy meal without major hassle ...
We used to have a tradition for Hanukkah that's fallen by the wayside - different pancakes for each night. It made sense to me since cooking in oil is traditional, latkes are traditional, and my son Connor just loved it. Plus pancakes are easy and delicious. What's not to love? ...
A few days ago, on my blog a2eatwrite, I mentioned that I'd recently made kohlrabi slaw. This seemed to be a recipe of interest to my readers, and to be honest, the slaw I made that night was simply shredded kohlrabi tossed with Marzetti's Lite Slaw Dressing, salt and pepper. ...
Here is a puzzle: What are these two objects, and what do they have to do with baking? If you guessed that the one on the left is a duck egg, and the one on the right is a chicken egg, you would be correct. If you know that duck ...
