loving the new food column---have made the plum cake, granola, gingerbread, corn chowder, dinner beans (cucumbers) and frozen some tomato paste. Tomorrow night is noodles with ham and peas. It has been fun to follow along with the column.
Lunch ideas are always welcome, as would anything with chocolate---maybe a good brownie recipe that doesn't turn rock solid hard two minutes out of the oven?!?

I'm curious, do you pack lunches for your kids? Do you send leftovers, or do you make something special? We have to be mindful of allergies, so no PB&J for my kiddos. Two are at a school that can reheat, so they frequently get leftovers. One has to eat his brown bag lunch cold. As you can imagine, I'm challenged for ideas on things to pack to keep things interesting for them. Would love some recipes/ideas - especially for the cold lunch. He can only eat so many ham and cheese sandwiches - or the same rolled in a tortilla. Turns out, that isn't a very interesting variation. Thanks! Dale
Future recipe ideas? How about more that feature legumes? I loved the Dinner Beans recipe. Thank you, as always!
