Spring Frittata with Asparagus, Caramelized Onions and Sharp Cheddar

April 9, 2013 by Mariel Goodson 11 Comments

Mariel here. While my son has been snoozing steadily through the night for months now, I’ve been struggling with insomnia pretty much since the day he was born.

April 17, 2012 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 11 Comments

Mary Anne here. Last week an old high school friend wrote to me on Facebook and waxed eloquent about her family reunions where apple-laced stratas were frequent features and she got me thinking about this versatile, old fashioned favorite.

Orange-Mango Upside-Down Cake

April 5, 2012 by Mariel Goodson 31 Comments

Mariel here. While my family isn’t particularly religious, we’ve always celebrated every holiday with a certain degree of religious zeal. When I was little, there were nearly as many decorations and preparations for Easter as there were for Christmas. We had an Easter tree flaunting hand-blown eggs that we painted on our front porch (my[…]

Mariel here. I spent part of the weekend upstate, lapping up the peace and quiet that only the countryside can provide.

Apple Pie Pancakes a la Mode

July 7, 2011 by Mariel Goodson 17 Comments

Mariel here. This, my friends, is what happens when you start reminiscing on an empty stomach.

The Best Damn Bran Muffins
