Remember that apple slide show from Sunset magazine a few weeks ago? Just about everything on it looks good to me, but I made the apple corn muffins first. This recipe is much faster and simpler. I don’t really like eating red apples raw, for whatever reason. But these are perfect in this applesauce. You […]
I love mashed potatoes, but I think Toby loves them even more. His default meal for birthdays, homecomings (from deployment, not the high school football game variety) and other occasions is meat, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and biscuits.

I was particularly fond of this rice. I think you will be, too. This recipe came from a cookbook Hilary and Matt have, called “The […]
