The Pomegranate Chronicles

As I mentioned in my last post, last year we purchased the Camp Cooking cookbook by The National Museum of Forest Service History. As a side dish to compliment our Campfire Yum-bo, my hubby decided to try the Spoon Bread recipe (on page 27 of Camp Cooking) in our dutch oven. This was the hubby’s first campfire [...]

Knitting: I have started a new sweater for Griffin. He’s gotten a lot of wear out of his red sweater. Although, it’s his favorite, it’s getting a bit snug on him. I am using the Runaround Raglan pattern. I am using a nice oatmeal tweed by Vanna. I have found it’s a perfect wash and wear [...]

We have had a more than mild winter up here in the north east. Besides the large rare storm that hit us in October and one small storm in January, it’s been a brown winter. We FINALLY we got a storm. To ring in March, it snowed for two days. We got about 10 inches [...]

I love Sundays. Moreover, I love Sunday breakfast. I always feel like a little more effort should go into food on Sundays. It’s time spent in the kitchen with family. We have had a blustery weekend thus far. This morning the wind woke up Griff, who in turn, woke us up. After a long stretch [...]

Better late than never, I always say… Knitting: This is a better picture of the lovely yarn I used in {this moment} from last week. Many of you were interested in knowing more, so here’s the more! This is still a hard representation of the color. It’s a bit more red and has a sheen [...]

Inspired by this cupcake by Claire Wise, I decorated some cupcakes to take to our Tae Kwon Do Valentine’s Day party. Although new at confection creativeness, I took a stab at decorating them as beautifully as she did. They are super cute, but I need practice with decorating with icing. I baked and decorated four dozen for [...]

I usually consider a fritatta to have bread. This one is a breadless firttata with a fresh twist. Found in the “Rest of Bridge” volume two, this recipe says the smell will get everyone out of bed, I say just mixing the ingredients will! The aroma of fresh basil, sundried tomatoes and green chiles waft out of the mixing bowl [...]

When I saw this post by Carla over at small + friendly pop into my reader, I knew what project Griff and I were doing for the week. This cute tutorial includes everything you need to make adorable valentines for the birds. Luckily, all I needed was bird seed. This is a great recipe for the kidlets. [...]

I used this crustless quiche recipe as a guide to make an incredible crustless quiche. Since I only used what I had on  hand, I omitted the olives and added red peppers and spinach. I also changed out the green onions for white and the bacon with bell pepper chicken sausage. From here out, this [...]

This is another tasty and healthy recipe we tried from the low carb menu by Laura Dolson. Spaghetti Lasagna in a Bowl is a fantastic substitution to one of my favorite comfort foods. To be honest (and I am a bit ashamed of this fact) it’s the first time I have tried Spaghetti Squash. I [...]
