Is it me, or are most people a bunch of Spam snobs? I admit it’s not filet mignon or a piece of finely seared Ahi Tuna, but come on people! It’s not that bad. In fact, I love it, and a lot of my friends and family do, too. It’s a great friend to the frugal chef, and if I can do anything today, it’s to convince Spam skeptics to change their ways (vegetarians excepted…maybe).

Awhile back, I told you how we had gone the way of homemade dog food. It isn’t just that my beautiful pup is fast approaching 60 pounds and feeding him is a bit burdensome. I also love knowing exactly what is going into his food. Here is the slow-cooker technique my husband designed to keep fresh and healthy food going into the kibble bowl.

Like most people, I can tell the difference between authentic mashed potatoes, made from fresh spuds, and the dehydrated “flakes” that come in a box. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use them, however. After being gifted a large supply of the instant stuff, I went in search of acceptable ways to use them. The results were surprisingly delicious!

I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a Wise Bread book review for a while now. With an intense winter holiday right around the corner, I felt my topic was basically selected for me.

Tis the season for soothing, hearty homemade soups. With as much as people pay for this stuff at the deli counter (and don't get me started on the prices and ingredient lists for canned), it's not hard to see how serving this stuff up at home just makes good "soup cents". While many soups look fabulous enough in their own right, having some gourmet topping options on hand can really kick things up a notch and make you feel like you are eating out. Here are sixteen different topping ideas that'll have you serving up soup based dinners with style.

This is the first in a series I'm exploring called "What's Cooking?". As frequently as possible, I'll create a post on what is actually cooking here at la casa. You'll see anything from a dinner menu, to a great appetizer idea, desert, or homemade food gift idea. What's cooking today? Something on the rustic side . . .
