No pumpkin recipes for a while… nor squash recipes… I love sharing them with you but I’m a tad ‘pumpkin-d out’. We’ve had basic pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread and pumpkin soup. I’ve done cooking demonstrations with all of the above (several times) along with risottos and made pumpkin muffins with my aging Mother. So I’m boycotting pumpkins for 24 […]

With the temperatures being what they are… It’s officially the end of the season…and my gig with Graf Grower’s cooking demonstrations ends Saturday. I’ll be featuring “late summer/early fall” vegetables including cauliflower. Cauliflower is so misunderstood. It’s white and boring… With a little nurturing, it can burst into a dish spectacular! I’ve roasted cauliflower… and made cauliflower […]
I have a quicky for you today! This is the last of the pumpkin recipes for the week. It’s a very simple recipe with subtle Southwest flavors and a hint of sweetness. This soup would make a great first course or a meal in itself with a side of crusty bread or cornbread. I’ve been […]
Chilly nights call for chili and there are a thousand recipes out there! Everyone has their own version and I love trying all of them. My daughter claims to make better chili than me – the problem is getting her to make some is the issue. Personally, I’ve made a myriad of recipes and won’t […]
Okay, I know what you’re thinking… this sounds totally gross. Cold soup made with beets? I’ve been hearing it all week with Hubby as I prepare for my cooking demonstration on Saturday featuring cold soups. Trust me, there is nothing more refreshing and full of flavor than a chilled beet soup with a dollop (I […]
Typically this is the meal that I make when the snow is blowing and the fireplace is glowing. Today it made more sense to cook inside than to fight the heat of the day grilling outside. And when I run into these little beauties at Whole Foods who could resist? All this being said, I […]
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. […]
This winter is like a bad boyfriend who just won’t leave you alone. There I got it out of my system. I want to be grilling again! This week’s snowfall called for a hearty pot of soup. We’ve been dealing with aging parents issues this week and I thought a good old pot of beef, […]
Today is my Mother-in-law’s 88th birthday. We didn’t know what to get her. What better present to a senior but the gift of food. This is her favorite dish. Happy Birthday Inez! Growing up, my Mother would always have the big family meal on Sunday. It was usually a roast, stuffed cabbages or stuffed peppers. […]
On Sundays, I usually make ‘mega-meals’ which means a meal that is bigger than for the two of us. It’s a meal to split three ways – for us, for his parents and for my parents. Both our parents are aging and while they get “Meals On Wheels” – it gives me great pleasure to […]
