uses for an old doll cradle
Published: Mon, Feb 13, 2012
Dear Sara: When I was little, my mom was the carpenter in our family. A lot of our gifts were handmade, because my family didn't have much money. I received a wooden doll cradle for Christmas when I was 5 or 6, which I played with a lot.
It's maybe 2 feet long with high sides and is made out of plywood, so it's... Read More
Use of leftover candy canes
Published: Mon, Jan 2, 2012
Candy canes are popular during the Christmas season. But once the holiday is over, these festively striped candy leftovers tend to get thrown away or sit untouched.

Enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving
Published: Tue, Nov 22, 2011
Preparing a large holiday meal can be stressful. It's not easy to plan, prepare and coordinate cooking times for the entire menu. If you're smart, you'll lighten the load by planning a potluck with family and friends. But if you're the sole cook slaving frantically over the stove, cleaning and trying to get... Read More

Dear Sara: I froze corn today and am wondering what I can make with the broth. It smells too good to throw away. -- B.F., Pennsylvania
Dear B.F.: I'd use corn stock in soup, chowder or risotto. You can use it in most recipes that call for chicken or vegetable broth. Freeze the stock in ice cube trays and you can... Read More
I scream, you scream
Updated: Tue, Aug 9, 2011
I always thought of an ice cream maker as just one more fancy kitchen device that would either clutter up the counter or sit in a cabinet gathering dust. Then I got one. And although I don't have enough counter space to keep it out, it is my go-to appliance for making dessert for most of the summer (and other times... Read More
That personal touch? Say it with a cake topper
Updated: Thu, Apr 7, 2011
The only part of a wedding cake that doesn't get eaten, preserved in the freezer, or smudged across a bride or groom's face is the cake topper. Why not make it something worth saving?
From wooden figurines to monogrammed eggs in a nest to teacups from Grandma's china cabinet, cake toppers at weddings... Read More

Updated: Mon, Mar 14, 2011
Small is big when it comes to dessert trends.

Nothing sticky about dessert wine pairings
Updated: Wed, Dec 1, 2010
You already know that stressed spelled backwards is desserts. So, it only makes sense that dessert wines come to the fore during the holiday season. What better time to kick back with a glass of something sweet? But many people tend to skirt the dessert wine shelf, with its unfamiliar names and grape varieties. Read More

If you celebrate Christmas, you may tend to think of Hanukkah in terms of the Christian holiday. You expect it to occur right around Dec. 25, which makes it convenient when it comes to shopping and gift giving for Jewish friends or family members.

Comfort food of a different kind
Updated: Mon, Oct 11, 2010
Not only am I not Amish -- I don't personally know a soul who is. But over the years, I have treasured the arrival of a number of Amish cookbooks.

Updated: Tue, Oct 5, 2010

But one bite would have me gagging. Read More
