Foodie with Family: Fall a wonderful time
Fall. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height that my soup ladle can reach.

Rebecca Lindamood: Foods transition with seasons
Whether you opt to tailgate at the big game itself, or in your yard and then in front of your television, this is where fall comfort food makes its triumphant reappearance. Summer puts on a scarf and rubs its hands together and concedes to the wonder that is sustaining and warming vittles.

Foodie With Family: Overbooked, having a blast
I’d like to see a show of hands: who out there has a tendency to overbook themselves? Yes. I see you all. I’m glad I’m not alone.

Foodie with Family: Feeding hungry boys
Years ago, when I was pregnant with my first child, I prayed that it would be a boy. Did I have any particular reason? Not really. I just liked boys. I felt like I'd be a good mom to a boy. I had my boy and I was thrilled.

Foodie With Family: Pack and go
My guys have discovered a new passion; fishing. Oh, have they ever discovered it.

Foodie With Family: Kimchi (trust me)
One of the things I love best about my husband is his love of all foods Asian. Asian flavors are my default setting: Garlic, ginger, soy, and sesame are what I reach for when I crave comfort.

Recipe isn't lost in translation
Sometimes things get a bit lost in translation. So many potentially good dishes are muddied and confused when put into a slow cooker and left alone for hours. This recipe for Slow-Cooker Honey Sesame Pork is an exception. (Plus, Ranch Oyster Crackers.)

Cold-brewed coffee is refreshing
A handful of ice, the contents of a couple jars, a goodly splash of milk, a lid and a shake-shake-shake. That's all it takes to whip up a sweet, refreshing iced coffee to cool me down from my marathon grocery session.

Foodie With Family: Feeding joy
The other day, after a protracted conversation about food, my little brother observed that my purpose in life is to make people hungry. As a food writer, there is something to that, but that's not the whole story ... I also feed them.

Foodie With Family: Feeding DIY spirit
It is no secret that I am a big proponent of making things that many folks buy at the store.

Foodie with Family: Veggie burgers
The recent heat wave made cooking a real joy, didn't it? There is nothing I love more than standing over a steaming pan of whatever stirring for an hour when the temperature is in the 90s or — horrors — higher and the humidity is near 100 percent. I lie. Like a dog. These black bean burgers pull together faster than you can order take-out. Crispy and deep-brown on the outside, these satisfying burgers pack a serious punch in the taste department. Just slightly spicy, studded with sweet corn and topped with creamy avocado slices and hot sauce, these substantial veggie burgers are going to please even the most entrenched meat-burger-lover.

Foodie With Family: Dress up dessert
It doesn't take much work to turn a berry into a spectacular dessert. In fact, the less you do to it, the better it usually is.

Foodie with Family: Rain isn't so bad
The rains have been pouring down — it seems — without cease since spring officially sprang. Plans, field days, playground time, garden preparation, planting and other long-anticipated things have been canceled due to weather. We've spent a good deal of time crabby, cranky, out-of-sorts and fidgety.

But now, my "to read" list is shorter, and the boys have put a world of hurt on the competition in the "read the most books" contest at our local library.
Truly, can you think of a better way to spend the day as a family? Baking, eating, laughing, snuggling in plush blankets and reading. I do hope the rain stays a little while longer.

Foodie With Family: High Pie with berries
I recently discovered that my youngest, age 5, has said something incorrectly for his entire life. While congratulating his older brothers on a fort they had built, he thrust his little hand in the air and yelled, "High Pie, guys!" As his mother, I was obliged to tell him the "correct" version of the saying, but I also mentioned that I liked his version better. Honestly, it's brilliant. What's better than pie? I can't think of a more suitable exclamation of excitement. Baking and serving foods in Mason jars has been all the rage lately and for pretty good reason. Fruit pies to pot pies to custards to cakes and everything else imaginable has been stuffed into the portable, reusable, heat/freezer/dishwasher safe canning jar. It's easy to store these convenient servings for later use.

Foodie with Family: Sensational spud
While I still love my high-falutin' culinary projects, my evolution as a cook has moved me toward doing as little as possible to good things to coax as much of the natural flavor from them as possible. Hasselback potatoes are Swedish, but don't panic! Potato dishes of any nationality work for St. Patrick's Day because on March 17, the whole world is Irish. (Full article includes recipes for Garlic Hasselback Potatoes and Chocolate Chunk Cranberry Skillet Cookie.)

Foodie With Family: Feed your cold kids
What is it about sledding hills that brings out the Evel Knievel in children? My boys — who have a rather nicely developed sense of self-preservation — become more than just a little reckless when you stand them at the top of an ice-covered mountain with a sled in their hands. It's nice to welcome them home with Potato Roesti and Bacon Jam.

Foodie With Family: Flavored popcorn
Popcorn is the ultimate snack food. Portable, filling, inexpensive, tasty and customizable, popcorn can be eaten with just a little salt, or gussied up for company. Grab a heavy pan with a lid and a capacity of at least eight quarts, and I'll walk you through 15 of my favorite ways to eat popcorn.

Foodie with Family: Indulge sweet tooth
I have a child with an incurable sweet tooth. Most of the year, I am on sentry duty preventing said youngster from sugar-toothing himself into trouble; Carrot sticks, hummus, hard-boiled eggs and peanut butter abound. This time of year, however, I'm a little more lenient.

Foodie With Family: Break bread, pass it
Thanksgiving always has and always will equal bread in my brain. As a bread-loving child, it was my dream holiday.
