So I'm back... again. For what? The hundredth time? Whatever. I'm giving it a new go. New layout, new posts, new go. I'm also going to be less wordy. I can talk for hours, but people don't want to hear from the blogger anymore when it comes to recipes, so I'm going to tighten things … Continue reading The Humble Food Snob Returns
Of Ribs and Reality- “Velvet” Ribs
Today you all are going to get a tiny glimpse here and there of the mess that can be the Humble Food Snob's kitchen. I was sick with a cold when I made this food last month. And, naturally, I didn't get sick until the ribs and steaks for Ron's birthday dinner were already thawed … Continue reading Of Ribs and Reality- “Velvet” Ribs
So. Sick. of. Cereal!- Soft Breakfast Oat Bars
Here we are, halfway through the school year, and this is where things in the food department tend to grind to a crawl- if not an all out halt. I don't know about you and yours, but in my house weekday breakfasts and lunches are getting to be an unpleasant chore. I ask the kids … Continue reading So. Sick. of. Cereal!- Soft Breakfast Oat Bars
An Extremely Hands On Experience- Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
I've never been the type to be squeamish about handling raw meat. I've always enjoyed getting truly hands on when cooking meat because it's the best way of determining the quality of the cuts and if things are progressing properly. When I'm cooking steaks I use my (clean) finger to check doneness and when I'm … Continue reading An Extremely Hands On Experience- Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
I’m Alive and Kicking- Really!
Good grief, it's been almost a year. A year!! SO MUCH has happened in that year, and I wasn't sure if I would ever get to come back. I've wanted to, but it just hasn't been in the cards until now. I wasn't sure if anyone would even care at this point if I came back. But … Continue reading I’m Alive and Kicking- Really!

It’s that Time of Year Again- Homemade Uncrustables
Ridiculously enough, the Super Target in Duluth (Minnesota, about 40 minutes North of us) has already cleared out their summer seasonal section and is in the process of building their back to school displays and stock. Last week's ad already had back to college/school deals, even. It's July for crying out loud! As cringe inducing … Continue reading It’s that Time of Year Again- Homemade Uncrustables
Easing Back Into Things-Vanilla Fruit Salad
I haven't published since November. That is just astonishing to me. On one hand, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long. But on the other hand, some pretty huge things have happened since then and it feels like an eternity. My husband was furloughed from the railroad (temporarily laid off and waiting to … Continue reading Easing Back Into Things-Vanilla Fruit Salad
A Certain Wow Factor- Five Pound Apple Pie
This week's recipe is rather a show stopper. Especially when you tell people what it is. I have to smile at people's reactions when I tell them I've made a FIVE POUND apple pie. There's always the stop-to-make-sure-they-heard-that-right face and then the "Wow!" as they let it sink in. I have fun "wowing" people with … Continue reading A Certain Wow Factor- Five Pound Apple Pie
Jumping on the Pumpkin Bandwagon- Pumpkin Pancakes
I'm not really one for food fads. I was tired of the make-every-food-rainbow-colored fad in super short order, the macaron fad got boring pretty quickly, and if I see one more carb dish "made over" with cauliflower (yuck!) I swear I'll scream. However, I have to say that I am totally on board with the … Continue reading Jumping on the Pumpkin Bandwagon- Pumpkin Pancakes
