Shepherd's pie is another meal that tends to resurface around St. Patrick's Day, but the peasant dish isn't truly Irish. Many countries have their own versions of this meal, which was traditionally made out of the scraps of a Sunday feast. A "true" shepherd's pie uses a mix of lamb and vegetables as a base with

During the Great Depression, food was scarce and people had to make due with what they could get. Canned goods were extremely popular because they had long shelf lives and were inexpensive. For some people who grew up during the Depression, canned goods remained a staple in the pantry. As a kid, I remember my

This recipe is one of my childhood favorites. Here's a big thanks  to my mom for sending me her recipe for it, since I currently am having a hard time cooking (and typing and doing most things that involve two hands) since my "sprained" wrist turned out to be fractured. I'll do my best to

"Christmas" means something slightly different to everyone. For some, it's a time of community traditions and religious celebration. For others, it's a family time, where loved ones gather around their own traditions. For others still, like myself, we really don't have much in the way of tradition, or we did at one point, but as

Being sick sucks. No matter where you are or what time of year it is, having a cold really bites, even if it's just a nagging sore throat and a runny nose kind of cold. When I was a kid, other than providing me with a steady supply of cough drops, my mom's go-to cold

But what really is head cheese? And, for goodness sake, why does it exist?!Head cheese, as you
