Last week our local library had a used book sale. Fill a bag for ten dollars. Does it get any better? We got loads of treasures. One of them was a book on Hungarian cooking. My husband’s sister and her husband live in Hungary so it stood out to us. It is an old book. […]
Vegetables
Mushroom, Asparagus & Blue Cheese Bundles
A few weeks ago I was reading a food magazine which was focusing on leftovers for the upcoming Thanksgiving meal. It got me thinking about how we use leftovers at our house. We have been really good at it lately. Sort of pat on the back good at it with a little we might not […]
Roasted Garlic
Life has seemed a bit chaotic lately. Maybe it is the time change. Maybe the cold air that has moved in. Maybe the fact that we are going on four weeks with a six year old child that refuses to sleep through the night. This combination of craziness has left us a bit tired which […]

On Saturdays we like to head to either Pittsfield or Great Barrington, the later of which where we discovered Hosta Hill Sauerkraut. Tucked under a lovely bunch of trees was a little table and […]
