A Plan for Simple Summer Hospitality

July 10, 2013 by Amelia

[pinit] I love to have people over to our house. I am a terrible hostess, and I always forget something important.  I also prefer not to spend the entire time in the kitchen or cleaning up. I am, however, all about the eating and laughing. Sometimes at the same time. Which is interesting. But at […]

August 5, 2011 by Amelia

My garden is growing like crazy these past few weeks. We’ve had some very hot, humid days and a few rain showers which is the perfect recipe for Michigan gardening goodness. I can’t believe I actually have a growing, producing garden. I’m rather ignorant in the ways of gardening, but with the help of my […]

Lentil Love

July 8, 2010 by Amelia

My kids are pretty good eaters. At my husband’s request, we don’t eat a lot of meat. In fact, he’d be perfectly fine if I never served meat ever again. My kids are good sports and they try most everything, and we eat some stuff that would be considered quite odd in normal households. Last […]

Rhubarb = Summer

May 11, 2010 by Amelia

Too bad the weather doesn’t feel like summer! The kids picked the first of some of Great-Grandma’s rhubarb this past week, and tonight I turned it into a Rhubarb Pudding Cake that is out of this world. It went so fast, I didn’t even get a picture of it! The tangy, sweet dish was a […]
