Sauerkraut - It's Not Just for Scurvy Anymore (with Two Recipes!)
I don't know how I end up down some of these rabbit trails. I have this weird brain that skips off to chase butterflies, and then suddenly wonders what the dust on their wings is made of. Then I spend days poring over everything I can find on butterfly dust. I research weird stuff, learning endless amounts of absolutely useless information, all of which I find quite interesting.
Like the lowdown on sauerkraut.
I never cared much for the stuff...

A Frank Critique of Home Chef - Part I
There was a time in my life I would never have dreamed of ordering my meals all prepped in a little box, with bits and pieces diced and sliced in packages. I'm too snooty about my cooking which, quite frankly, is pretty darn good (if I do say so myself). A really good meal takes time and thought; it's a gift, lovingly prepared, to those for whom you prepare it.
But that was back in the good ol' days, when life was somehow less insanely busy than it is now. I don't know what happened to those days. I keep waiting for life to get back to "normal," but have slowly succumbed to the realization this harried state of frenetic activity is the new norm. I find myself standing in front of an empty refrigerator night after night (often having skipped lunch) because, once again, I didn't have time to make it to the grocery store.

Rustic Fall Pear Galette - yum!
If you're looking for a quick, easy, fabulous recipe to make you look like a kitchen genius at your next holiday gathering, look no more!
This is my recipe for "Rustic Fall Pear Galette". I say "my recipe," which means I stole it from Cooking Light Magazine about 10 years ago, tweaked it a tad, and have been making it ever since! :) It's absolutely delicious and really easy to make. Even if you're inept in the kitchen, you can pull this off, and yet it looks like you "did something!"
I add walnuts and/or dried cranberries, and perhaps a dash of cardamom spice, thus making it "mine." I've seen many variations of the recipe over the years, some with apples. But I always come back to this one. Cooking Light says it serves 8 but, if you ask me, it's more like 4. ;)
I wish you a truly happy Thanksgiving, and holiday season. May...
