Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
I’m starting to really dig these free form tarts (sometimes called galettes). They are seriously easy. The crust turned out great and while I still need to look up recipes for cooking times & temps (although I wonder, is it really that important? I could probably wing it and be fine), I’m starting to imagine [...]
This week in our Back to Basics Cooking Series I’m going to explore the world of tarts. I have made a few of them from Simply in Season, but they are not a regular part of my repertoire. I’ve always been fascinated at the idea of making them more, and learning how to improvise recipes, possibly because of this poem:
Remember the squash that I cooked in the slow cooker the other day? This recipe used up about 3/4 C of it. Yes, it uses white sugar and white flour. So I’m not linking it up to any of the “real food” linky parties. But it is sooo good.

Did you know that M&M’s comes out with new flavors beyond just peanut and plain? Maybe because I’m not a mom, but I had no idea! So when Collective Bias asked me to come up with a recipe featuring the new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate Candies, I was intrigued.
Since I had peaches, I decided to try the peach version of this ice cream recipe from Simply in Season. Best of all, there is no ice cream maker needed! Read on to learn how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker.
This is the second peach pie I made last weekend. How did it compare?
This is one of those “whatever fruit you have will work” recipes from Simply in Season. Since I had a ton of peaches (as you’ll see throughout the rest of the week as I post several peach recipes) I decided to make a yogurt peach pie.
I’m republishing this recipe from last year because I was recently given a large sorrel plant from my friend Holly–I see another batch of this in the near future!
So, how did my “from scratch” rendition turn out?
When I decided to remake the Banana Cream Brownie Squares, I knew I’d make the brownies from scratch rather than from a box. A quick search on eatyourbooks.com showed that both Food Matters and James Beard’s American Cookery had brownie recipes.
