Over the past few weeks, the food blogsphere has been buzzing about rainbow cakes. All because of this post. To tell you the truth, I hadn't heard of them until someone linked that blog entry on the LOK Household forum. The idea of a color cake certainly piqued my interest. With a combined birthday coming up in July, I thought I might give it a try. My problem was that the author (as well as

When I heard that there was a new outbreak of the Swine Flu, I have to admit my response was more of weariness than concern. Now, I'm not downplaying the seriousness of the situation at all. It's a dangerous flu and people have died--that's not good at all. However, over the last couple of months my family has been wracked with one illness after another. Stomach bugs, flu bugs, and severe

A recent question over at the new LOK Household forum got me thinking. We all know about staples--the items you keep on hand to use for cooking everyday. Things like sugar, and flour, and spices. However, depending on who you are, your "essentials" could be very different from someone else's. My family lives on pasta, however I have a friend whose husband and kids hate it--and thus she never

Even though we are technically *just* in a recession, many economists say that the U.S. is actually experiencing a depression. There are people who are scraping to simply put food on the table, not to mention trying to keep a roof over their heads. How does one survive? Many lessons can be learned from looking to our past, to the last time our country went through this.Clara is a 93 year old

If I had to guess, I think that eating out is probably the singlemost way to sabotage a food budget--any budget really. The reason is that most families don't factor this cost into their spending, so it's often a hidden cost. You're tired, you don't want to cook, and even though you weren't planning on it, you hit the drive-thru. Even when you do set aside a certain amount monthly for eating

While poking around the internet for various things, I found this blog entry for homemade butter. Needless to say, after drooling profusely, I bookmarked it and have made it my life's goal (this week at least) to try to do this myself. Yum and yum.Of course, I thought it would be a nice gesture to share the link with all of you. Enjoy!Homemade Butter from Little House in the Suburbs

If you ask most large families what their biggest challenge is, most will say laundry. However, a fair number will say cooking. In fact, next to laundry, feeding their crew comes in second with most families. Cooking for a large family, which can be from anywhere from 6-15 people (or more) is something that can take time, as well as a bit of ingenuity. Particularly in this time when many
