Lobster Corn Chowder

May has been a good month. The sun is trying to come out. Last week, this blog made foodgawker.com, tasteologie.com and tastespotter.com with my lemon curd recipe! Woooo! Tonight, it’s hubby’s choice. Tonight, we’re celebrating with lobster corn chowder. When asked what I should make next for the blog…this was his immediate answer…. and since we’re celebrating…here we go! Cut 1/4 lb. […]

Sunshine in a Jar: Lemon Curd

Yes dear, it’s been gloomy outside. I want to grill. I want to plant flowers. All my friends on facebook are grumpy. My dogs are grumpy. It’s time for a little sunshine to brighten your day – and mouth… Lemon Curd. Oh how I love lemons. Lemon pies. Lemon tarts. Lemon curd. Lemons are happiness, […]

Honey Lemon Tarragon Chicken

My bird was too big! Oh, I had the best intentions of giving you my beautiful roasted chicken recipe complete with finished pictures today. It was a lovely rainy Sunday afternoon and everyone in the house was watching movies. I had the kitchen to myself with this wonderful beauty of a chicken in front of […]

Margherita Monday

No….not that type of Margarita! Although,  if this rain and dreariness continues, I may be tempted. After yesterday’s calamity of roasted chicken, I opted for the non-meat, easy Monday meal. I’ve tried many Margherita pizza recipes and this is definitely the one! It comes from a Williams Sonoma Essentials of Baking Cookbook with a few of my […]

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

I have a new pan! Okay, okay – I can already hear you… You call that a new pan? I have my grandmother’s pan…and my great, great grandmother’s pan…. Well so did I and I never appreciated it before. In fact, about three moves ago – I tossed it out. Yes, I was the fool. After […]

Rosemary Ciabatta Rolls

Somedays I just like the smell of fresh baked bread in the house. How about fresh baked bread with a hint of rosemary? Here’s a real easy recipe for ciabatta rolls that I got from my new Panini Express cookbook written by Daniel Leader and Lauren Chattman. This is a great little cookbook I picked up when […]

Bacon, Cheese and Apple Panini

It’s Monday night and  the day after Mother’s Day, I wanted something simple for dinner. I opened the refrigerator and found a big hunk of bacon staring at me. Mmmmm….bacon. I had a smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Why not? And I do have my new panini machine…why not? Ingredients: Crispy bacon, […]

A Sweet Mother’s Day

My daughter is a foodie too! Sadly this Mother’s Day she wasn’t able to make it home from San Francisco. Yesterday, the doorbell rang and inside a little brown box was this beautiful package. Inside this package was a incredible array of chocolates… And inside this box of chocolates was a delightful little white chocolate […]

We be Jammin’

Everywhere I turned these days, I see strawberries! My favorite market had flats full of juicy, sweet, red berries just begging to come home with me. Sure I could have made a shortcake recipe or pie recipe for you but let’s do something that will last through the year.   With Mother’s Day this weekend […]

Buffalo Chicken Paninis

It’s Friday night and tonight, I really want wings. Why is it that I love all the things that are not good for me? On Friday nights, you don’t care what’s good for you… This time though, I came up with a healthy alternative to my wing craving… I took some thin boneless chicken breasts… […]
