Berry Delicious

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, July 13, 2012

It’s blueberry season here!

I’ve been stocking up as they go on sale at the grocery store, and hoping we’ll get a chance to take the kids berry picking one of these weekends. We all, even the babies, like to eat the little purple fruit right out of hand, but they’re also one of my favorite fruits to bake with. Partly because they’re so easy - no need to peel or cut! Just wash and use! - but also because,... READ MORE 

Tough Recipes

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, June 27, 2012

I have a nemesis.

Well, it’s more of a love/hate relationship, because it makes me crazy, but I can’t quit it. It’s driven me to tears - my husband laughed when he found me standing over the sink chipping away at a pan of crystallized sugar and ranting under my breath, though it’s serious business to me - but when I get it right, I know I’ll keep coming back over and over again.

Caramel sauce. My... READ MORE 

Simpler Than Pie

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, September 29, 2011

Last week Daria mentioned apple pie and I sighed a little. I will probably get some pie this year when my mom or my sister makes it, but I have no time to make it myself.

Luckily, I remembered how much I love this easy tart recipe. I shared it last summer as a recipe for peach tart, and this is a slight adaptation for apple season. I think it’s perfect - crumbly crust and tender baked apples in sweet... READ MORE 

Easy Peachy

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Last summer I posted a recipe for skillet peach cobbler, which is my favorite peach dessert.

(It’s really wonderful. You should try it!)

But that cobbler requires cooking the topping on the stove for half an hour, which is not fun when it’s extra hot as it’s been this summer. Also, as much as I love that recipe, it’s time-consuming. Who wants to spend extra minutes in a kitchen when it’s 90 degrees... READ MORE 

Excellent Easter Eating

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, April 05, 2010

Cooking is the one household chore that doesn’t feel like a chore to me, and I also love to eat, so it should come as no surprise that I get excited about the feasting aspect of the Easter season.

Although I love reading about all our readers’ enthusiasm for the stuff, I don’t really care for candy. I haven’t eaten a single piece of Easter candy yet! But it’s not because I don’t like sweet stuff.... READ MORE 

Special Crispy Treats

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, February 01, 2010

I know they’re not everyone’s thing, but I love rice crispy treats. Yes, they’re basically just cereal-studded pieces of chewy sugar, but they are *delicious* cereal-studded balls of chewy sugar. Also, as long as you work fast and you’re not picky about letting them cool completely, you can be eating them less than fifteen minutes after you decide to make them.

And if there are children out there... READ MORE
