Tomato Dumplings
I need a recipe for tomato dumplings. My grandmother cooked fresh tomatoes and sweetened them. They would thicken up and she would drop the dumplings on top and cook. There was no cheese in these or any other seasoning. I don’t know how she did it and would like a recipe if anyone has one. […]

Halloween is such a fun holiday in our house. Part of the reason is it’s so low-stress. But that doesn’t mean we don’t plan at all! Every year we have to make at least a few decisions: Do we want to host a party? Do we want to attend any parties? Will we all dress […]

I buy the giant economy/family-sized bottles and decant them into the pump bottles. One store-bought bottle of […]

Our farmers market in town is overflowing with fresh garden-ripe tomatoes and of course I couldn’t resist. Here’s what we had for lunch a few days ago. It’s a cold tomato basil soup, perfect for a warm day. I did the cooking early in the morning while it was still cool and then stored it […]

At the first dreaded sign of gunk, make yourself a cup of regular tea, saving the tea bag. When cool enough to handle, but still warm, press out the excess liquid and use as a compress on the effected eye. Works like a charm, and as a mom of three, I can’t imagine how much […]
