I admit, some days I pull out frozen pizzas for dinner. And, once I even sent my children and Kristin's son into a gas station for breakfast. But, today was a different day. I went to bed with visions of anise pumpkin muffins in my head, and woke up inspired. I have this ongoing fantasy that my children come home to baked bread or chocolate cookie smells--but usually not. However, this morning was cold, sunny and cold, the kind of fall day in Minnesota that tricks you into thinking you can wear just one layer and then … [Read more...]
Is Dinner Ready Yet?
By on October 15, 2008 with
In my home that is a common question. And, usually the answer is not quite. You see actual cooking is really not my thing. I am rather in the garden pulling out something by its roots, sitting on my porch feet up on my hot pink wicker ottoman sipping tea, or running up and down my stairs with buckets of laundry. And, what is interesting about the fact that I really don't like to cook, is that I love everything about food. I love spices, I love the shine of an apple, I love dishes, modern and old chipped china, I love … [Read more...]

We eventually found chairs and some wine and settled down to listen to their … [Read more...]
Cookbook Events for Wanna Be Foodbloggers
By on September 11, 2008 with
We couldn't believe our good fortune. We had invented our self proclaimed jobs: food bloggers and cookbook writers and had decided we were big. At least, big in our own minds. So, bolstered by our gusto, guts, and the need to quite frankly, just get out of the house, we were going to do this thing. We had psyched ourselves up, convinced our husbands (it didn't take long, we're a force to be reckoned with), and told our kids (mommies can't be quitters)--there would be no turning back now, be it, rain, floods, lightening, or … [Read more...]

Here we are! Four friends toasting the beginning of our blog: The Love Feast Table. The purpose of our blog is to begin a discussion that we hope spreads about friends and family, and gathering at the table around good food, and of course life's adventures!

So, we are going to begin a conversation about these memories, past, present, and hopefully future! We are hoping you, the reader, will come join us at our … [Read more...]
