Saddle up

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:16:24 -0500

There are many things in life that I adore the idea of - for example: getting a puppy, having a 8-5 workday where I can wear stilettos and carry a briefcase, quilting, natural childbirth, and camping - but if ever faced with these situations, I w...

granola bars: take two

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:52:34 -0500

I may be flattering myself to believe that many (not few or none) of you have followed the thread of comments on granola bars: my attempt at mailing food. If you haven't, well I can quickly get you up to speed by admitting that I mailed them to ...

An oldie, but in my humble opinion, a goodie

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:05:19 -0500

I had a birthday last week. I'm not trying to get sympathy, but as far as birthdays are concerned it was below average. I was "out of town" working, so no husband, no family, and no presents on the actual day. I even bought myself a cake fro...

Picked 1/2 Peck Peaches

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:57:30 -0500

Last weekend I visited an orchard and picked blackberries and peaches. While I snuck a few juicy plump bites of blackberries, the mosquitos snuck a few juicy bites of me. It's been an itchy week. Excited about the berries, I wanted a dessert th...

granola bars

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:23:02 -0500

When I received a comment requesting granola bars, I was happy to oblige. I like granola bars myself, specifically Kashi's Dark Chocolate Cherry, but have never made them. With a specific requirement of chewiness, I started my search there, and...

Crisp Tomato Squash Bread Gratin

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:47:51 -0500

We've eaten out a lot this week, and not on purpose. It just happened. So it was only natural that we felt like we needed to have a healthy meal last night. Why is it we stuff our bellies at restaurants, but not so much at home? Anyway, thank...

Cooking For Real, well not really, it's a sandwich...

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:18:31 -0500

I'll admit it, I'm a Food Network watcher. Maybe I'm paranoid but I've noticed that Food Network is slowly dumbing down their cooking shows. (Jamie Oliver and Duff Goldman excluded. I love those two). The network's programming seems to be more ...

Mmm...Muffins

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:55:33 -0500

I'm traveling for work this week, so this will be the last post for a bit. (I know, I've been slacking this summer on posting, so you've come to expect a few days between posts. Thought I'd warn you anyway). When I leave for a trip (FYI-never a...

I love beets!

nobody@vox.com(tabicakes) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:02:10 -0500

I love beets! I always have. It wasn't one of those foods I had to grow into, like sour cream. Honestly, I'm quite surprised how many people don't love this vegetable. Compared to most vegetables, I believe they have a much higher natural sug...
