Grandma Sullivan’s Caramels

These caramels.  Sigh.  What can I say about them?  If you were to try one, they could speak for themselves, but since they haven’t figured out a way to send taste and texture via the internet, I’m going to have to, as I’m so fond 

The Perfect Pork Tenderloin

Ok, so I know it’s December and all, and everything is all about mulled wine and Christmas cookies and over-the-top pot-luck casseroles.  But the thing is, let’s be reasonable.  We all still have to eat dinner.  And if you’re like me, you  might want something 

Turkey Tetrazzini

I know this might be a bit premature, but I feel it only fair to give you enough time to cook a bigger turkey.  Because you’re going to want leftovers.  So you can make this Tetrazzini.

Kohlrabi and Celery Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette

Hello, Team Kohlrabi!  I’m so glad we’re all on the same page about kohlrabi by now. We are, right?  We all agree that we all love, love, love it and it’s one of our favorite, most versatile veggies?  If not, I’m kind of surprised you’re 

Split Pea Soup

I’ve come out of my major denial that fall is here. I know, it’s about time, seeing as in a few measly days it will be October.  October, for goodness sake.  The month of corn mazes and Halloween and apple cider and tall leather boots
