Even Cinnamon Rolls need to Rest!

I used to make cinnamon rolls years ago. I still have my recipe handwritten on paper with butter splatters and dough stuck to it from years ofuse, but at some point, I decided that making cinnamon rolls was not worth the effort. Yep, I said it. They are a two-day process and need as much care as a toddler as they rise., I have made them for years. However, I stopped making them because of how labor-intensive it was. So when I saw a recipe from one of my favorite food bloggers touting her ... View the Post

O’ Ireland…you have captured my heart forever.

When you travel, A new silence goes with you,  And if you listen,  You will hear What your heart would Love to say.                                                                                                                               John O'Donohue The taste of shepherd's pie takes me back to an adventure I will never forget, my time in Ireland with friend and author Susy Flory.

Sweet Potato-Black Bean Tacos..and why writing down recipes we know, like the back of our hand, matters.

One of the things I loved about going to Grandma Upton's house was knowing that whatever she cooked up, was sure to be amazing. She had a simple way about her and the way she cooked.  She kept a "drippings" can next to the stove that held bacon grease and was often scooped out of for frying up eggs or pancakes. Her desserts and candies were always cooked to perfection. The only regret is that she didn't write all her recipes down. No one thought to capture Angel Food Pie, until there was ... View the Post

The Sweet Taste of Summer!

I love the tastes of summer! Whether it is hamburgers being grilled, fresh corn salad, or a perfectly ripened watermelon. But one of my favorite all time recipes is the classic Strawberry Shortcake! I am not sure if I love it because the sweet berries burst with flavor, the buttery shortcakes are topped with whipped cream, or because I can't savor a serving without thinking of my grandmothers kitchen. Because so many of my memories are tied around food and the hands that helped to create ... View the Post

I will eat this here and there… Ratatouille Toast with Fried Egg

For some reason, I have had a serious aversion to eggplant. I probably sounded like the beloved Suess character who does not like green eggs and ham, he does not like them, Sam I am! But something changed my mind. It was not a goat, boat, house, mouse, box, or even an adorable fox. It was a picture in a magazine. The photo was so appetizing that before I could say Wizzer-wazzar-what I had picked up all the ingredient,  "aproned up", and started dicing. Just to be on the safe side I decided ... View the Post

A Time For Everything..Including Baking! Recipe for Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Is it just me or did we just skip February?  I am amazed at how fast 2017 is rolling and I am afraid it is just going to pick up speed from here! Well, a bit of catch up from my last post. I had a huge 10-day book/author tour that resulted in stopping at seven schools and a book club. I also took my canning supplies and canned several batches of lemon curd with one of my favorite peeps, dipped pretzels with a few adorable girls, visited several dear friends, had time with our ...

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
