This was day one of our forecasted 4-day deep freeze; we are expecting the temperatures to dip below -20C. Upon returning from the gym with frozen fingers, I knew a big hot bowl of soaked steel cut oats was in order. The night before I simply toss in 2 cups of oats to 5 [...]
Monday started with a late breakfast of oatmeal — using dishes straight from the counter where they’ve been drying since Saturday. It looked like today was going to be a day of catch-up in the kitchen, but trudging back and forth from the laundromat wore me out. Apples, bananas, and bell peppers are waiting to [...]

“Sunday in Elizabeth’s Kitchen” feels like a deceptive title — I hardly stepped foot in the kitchen all day. Breakfast was the only meal I made today. You can be sure that the one week you try to blog about the normal, the week ends up being abnormal!
Sunday is the only day of the week [...]
Today is a busy day that started late. Sean had a boiled egg in a cup, with a dab of butter and a pinch of salt. He also had toast, orange juice and on top of all that, he had a hot chocolate drink!!
Niall had juice, cornflakes and toast.
I had my usual, which is two [...]
Welcome everyone to the $5 Dinners Kitchen! Sunday mornings at our house mean one thing — daddy makes pancakes for breakfast. This morning he was flipping pancakes off the griddle onto the plates, much to the delight of the boys! We enjoyed our breakfast and headed off to church.

Welcome to Day 3 in my Kitchen!
Unfortunately, today wasn’t the best of days. It started out really good. I woke up much earlier [...]
Welcome to the first day in Jenny’s kitchen. We are very excited to see and share her week. From what I know of Jenny, she really likes to cook, and she’s pretty good at it, too (we’ve tried some of her recipes and they’re delicious!). We hope you enjoy spending this week with Jenny.
I’m so [...]

Today was a very [...]
Like Mother, Like Daughter. We are a family who live in Central Massachusetts. My husband is a Boston Irish Catholic from a big family. His upbringing was smack dab in the middle of respectable Catholic America, not untinged by 60s unrest.
I am about as different from him as you can get: I’m an only child, my parents are divorced, my father was an immigrant from Egypt, I was raised on the cutting edge of the feminist/relativist/sexual self-fulfillment/diversity revolution. My upbringing was smack dab in the middle of 70s hippie snotty know-it-all America, not untinged by anomie.
