Pork and Apple Stew

Pork and Apple Stew by Karen Moore

If I were Dorothy and I just blew back home from my trip to Oz, I’d be wondering if I took a wrong turn on the yellow brick road and ended up in Michigan, not Kansas. It’s farkin’ cold in Wichita this fall. Combine the chilly weather with pubescent growth spurts in both of my girls over the summer, and I’m heading out to buy two…

Chili Egg Bake and my Weekend Horribilis

Chili Egg Bake and my Weekend Horribilis by Karen Moore

“The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry.” Scottish poet Robert Burns once wrote. To express the same sentiment, the French say “C’est la Vie”, that’s life. I personally prefer something a little more descriptive. Since this blog is rated PG (i.e. my kids read it), lets just say that it starts with “Sh” and ends with “Happens”…

Nanaimo Bars: The Real Deal

Nanaimo Bars: The Real Deal by Karen Moore

My Favorite Chicken Salad by Karen Moore

On the pendulum of taste, chicken salad has two extremes; dry and flavorless, or swimming in enough mayonnaise to make you almost believe that it’s not dry and flavorless. Somewhere in between lies perfection; moist, tender and bursting with flavor chicken salad with just enough mayo to hold everything together. A salad so good that…

Chicken Noodle Soup Remedy

Chicken Noodle Soup Remedy by Karen Moore

My day didn’t go exactly as planned, yesterday. Which isn’t all that uncommon for me since that fateful day a little over eleven years ago when I gave birth to my first child.Over the years I have discovered and mastered a key parental survival skill; the ability to change course and speed on a dime and without a grumble; at least not…

Asian Noodle Salad by Karen Moore

My daughters ate raw cabbage and bean sprouts this weekend because I have a food blog. There is no other explanation for it.Sometime after they started walking and before they lost their first baby teeth, my girls decided to complicate my life by becoming carbotarians. The only foods that could make it to the table without shrieks of…

Thai Curry and Coconut Butternut Squash Soup

Thai Curry and Coconut Butternut Squash Soup by Karen Moore

I have a bit of a problem. I don’t think it requires a twelve step intervention, but still, it complicates my life sometimes. I really can’t pass up a good sale at the supermarket. Laugh, giggle and find general amusement at my predicament all you like, but don’t judge me until you’ve walked a mile with my grocery cart and have 4…
