By Jennifer Cote – “Frazzled Housewife” is almost becoming a foreign word. With the convenience of fast food and store-bought items that require minimal preparation, we can spend very little time in the kitchen. If a special event comes up, we can call the bakery department of most any grocery
By Kathy Howard – I found this recipe about 20 Thanksgivings ago on the back of a can of Libby’s pumpkin. It’s a family favorite and a holiday tradition. I often double the recipe to give bread to neighbors. I love bread of all kinds. My family’s favorite muffin is

By Jennifer Cote – It seems to come as a package deal with the approaching holidays: Planning menus, arranging dates, organizing parties. One thing I don’t want in that package: A stress-induced frenzy from biting off more than I can chew! So I keep notes of all the best time-saving
The headline is a misnomer. I should have called it Butternut Squash, Mushroom, Sausage and Kale Bread Pudding. But that was a mouthful – granted, it’s a good mouthful, but too long for a title of this recipe. Anyway, it’s that time of year when butternut squash is abundant —
By Jennifer Cote – As I researched “Chicken Alfredo Recipes” online, a common keyword was “Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo Recipe”. Translation: This is the recipe everyone wants. And no wonder—most of the online “Olive Garden” style recipes call for a whole cube of cream cheese (on top of the cream
These appetizers get the award for cuteness. And they taste great too. It’s a simple frittata made with spaghetti and cooked in a mini-muffin tin, then topped with a little pesto and tomato sauce. A friend named Diana found these on the blog “Foodalogue” and offered them at a recent reception.

By Janelle Maiocco – Unofficial Canning Tips A little too frequently, I find myself standing mindlessly in front of my open cupboards and I am staring—perhaps even glaring—at my shelves. I glance suspiciously at the cans and condiments, boxes of dried beans and rice, jarred salsa and tomato paste, hot
Since produce is available to us year round, it can be difficult trying to understand what is actually in season and what is not. Of course you should always look for ripe, fresh fruits and vegetables, however you might want to check with your local grocer to see what is
Most people that were around in the 80s and 90s can sing that little diddy in their head! I never had a chia pet, but I can assure you I wanted one and thought they were ridiculously cool. Although many things have changed since then, such as my makeup, the
