Hi, I'm Liz. First time food blogger, long time food fan.I wouldn't say I have the most sophisticated pallet, however, I know good food when I taste it (and see it- those of you who know the associations between how food looks and tastes know what I mean), and I've tasted a lot of what I… MORE

by Nan Last Saturday night, our neighbors Shirley and Larry came for one of our irregular get-togethers where we share in planning and prepping a dinner menu. This time I did the entrée—a pork shoulder braised in a mole-like sauce (had cocoa in it) and the dessert (an upside-down pear… MORE

I'm starting something NEW! HELP! :) A fellow mother I know is introducing me to COUPONING. I have disregarded 'couponing' here, in Fairbanks, Alaska....lol...because as far as I could tell, it was a futile effort in our tiny town with our limited stores...other than the regular store coupons.

It's Good....But I Hate to Make It

Updated: Oct. 11, 2011 10:22 am

Hello all. We all love to cook and make great food, but there is always something that is just fantastic, but yet is a pain in the butt to make. For me it is always something like raw chicken or fish, something that will make a mess when I either tenderize it or clean and de-bone it. I think a… MORE

Bourbon Cocktails Make a Comeback

Sep. 26, 2011 12:49 pm

Sitting on a recent Southwest Airlines flight, I read a surprising statement – Bourbon-aging barrels outnumber the state’s residents by 360,000 in Kentucky. Being a Vodka-loving girl, I had no idea that drinks like the Sidecar and the Manhattan had gained in popularity. Apparently wine is not MORE

Pressure Cooker Cod - Fillets cook in 3 minutes

Sep. 21, 2011 9:38 am

Updated: Sep. 21, 2011 12:01 pm

My husband hates the smell of cooking fish, so until now, I've never made it at home. For health's sake, however, I've begun adding seafood to my diet every other day. (Is a diet of seafood, including a crabby husband, healthy?) Today, I decided to cook a cod fillet in my pressure cooker (PC).… MORE

Pressure Cooker Heat Control - what to look for

Sep. 20, 2011 12:46 pm

Updated: Sep. 20, 2011 12:58 pm

Ideally, stove-top pressure cookers (PCs) should come with a gage so that you can easily monitor what is going on before, during, and after the cooking process. Unfortunately, commonly available PCs do not. Instead, we need to guess what to look for in order to make adjustments. This article… MORE

Pressure Cooker Roast - pot roast from a large piece of meat

Sep. 18, 2011 11:53 am

Updated: Sep. 19, 2011 5:14 pm

Now that I'm into my second month of pressure cooking, I decided to experiment by making a pot roast from a whole, 2.5 pound beef chuck. In the past, I cut the chuck into approximately 2 inch cubes before cooking it in my pressure cooker (PC). I also decided to try the advice of Lorna Sass,… MORE
