Granola-Topped Blueberry Pie Bars
I’ve never really understood the expression, “easy as pie.” In the home of my childhood, it was more like “almost-unheard-of-plus-totally frustrating-and-usually-botched-results” as pie. Although my mom was a superlative baker, the one thing she almost never made (and when she did, it wasn’t very good) was pie. Give her a cookie dough, and she […]
Butterscotch Pudding For What Ails Ya
[A bowl of pudding, a cup of herbal tea, and forget about what ails ya.] I don’t suppose that butterscotch pudding is the first food that comes to mind when one thinks of foods that can be eaten “for what ails ya.” Then again, it might be. . . if, when you think of butterscotch […]

Some things just never change. As a result, there are certain aspects of our lives upon which we all tend to rely. For instance, you expect that Wile E.

Baked Pumpkin-Cranberry Oatmeal Pudding
I was chatting over email with a friend the other day (seems to be the way so many of my chats go nowadays) about how we’re so busy, we sometimes buy stuff–stuff that we really intend to use, stuff that we actually really need–and then, because our schedules are packed tighter than Madison Avenue on […]
Mock Tuna Salad from Main Street Vegan
Every year, I spend pretty much the entire fall and winter whining, grumbling and griping about the weather (Oh, how I hate the cold! How I wish this season would just whiz by with no snow! How come we can’t have summer all year–boo hoo? And how are you supposed to wear those hats with the […]
