Oh my gosh - you speak my language of cooking pain! I, too, face many challenges trying to cook meals that my entire family will eat. One child is genuinely picky, one is ornery, and the middle one copies whichever sibling is currently in favor. Oy. I will definitely give these a whirl. Thank you!

Love reading the blog and am looking forward to your book. Thanks to your small batch canning ideas, I’ve put up 28 jars (and counting) of good things to enjoy throughout the year!

As a fellow food prep/cook swearer, I loved this post. LOVED it. Three picky-eaters plus a husband, and I have an idea about where you’re coming from (no allergies, tho, thankfully). Now I’m scanning the weekend fliers for a decent freezer.

I lurked today - what an interesting chat! And so fast, with many tempeh and tofu tidbits flying. I’m off to get the kitchen in order before marinading some tempeh for tonight’s dinner (per T/S comments, yesterday). Kim, I’ll report back to let you know how it goes. Can’t wait!

Oh gosh, SCRAPPLE? Eeek. Maybe it is because I’ve had inferior scrapple product (once), but I cannot leave this page without touting the fabulous pure maple syrups and raw honeys, milks, yogurts, cheeses, bacons, sausages, lamb, poultry and produce of every color, stripe, ripeness and variety to be found in the central mountain region of the state.
