Name two things that will be trendy to make at home in 2012.  Terrible Carnak rip off aside, I have been putting some thought into what 2012 will bring about in the world of food. I found an article from 2010 looking ahead to 2011 and they had some pretty interesting, and somewhat accurate predictions. 2011 was all about going [...]

After last week’s 12 Days of Christmas Dinner, I had plenty of people contact me, wondering how I function on a day to day basis as I am clearly insane. (Some say madness and brilliance teeter precariously on a thin line. A thin line I have named George.) They also asked for me to offer [...]

That’s what I had to work with for a meal I made this week. You see So Good readers, as I’ve discussed before, one of the few perks of being a food blogger is companies like to send you food products so you and/or friends can sample them. About a month ago, POM Wonderful sent [...]

As soon as the calendar turns from October to November, I start thinking about one of my favorite holidays: Thanksgiving.  What can I say… I love to eat turkey with all of the usual sides –mashed potatoes, string bean casserole, gravy, sweet potato casserole (with marshmallows), cranberry sauce, etc.  This year’s tradition is a milestone, [...]
