Skillet Cornbread

Fellow Springdellian Dawn Demeo shared this tantalizing photo (below) of the fate of her corn in this Fresh Cornbread recipe from Cooks Illustrated! Check out more of her works at dawndemeophotography.com. Thanks for sharing, Dawn!


Swiss Chard Ribs with Egg Noodles in Cream sauce

My mother is pretty awesome.  The kids love her, and she loves swiss chard. When she comes by to hang out with the boys so I can get my boring grown-up things done, I can say “thank you” with a heaping helping of Swiss Chard Ribs with Egg Noodles and Cream Sauce, which is her favorite adaptation of this recipe (on Simply Recipes, originally from The Victory Garden Cookbook) .  I opt to leave the leaves in with the stems, adding them to the pasta noodles for a quick blanch during the last few minutes of the boil.  


Raspberry Cream Pops

Make this as a quick ice cream or freeze into pop for later enjoyment. Fresh berries, cream sugar and vanilla are all that’s needed! Works with the berries, too, though you may opt to remove the seeds using a sieve.
