It’s Friday. It’s sunny. It’s Fall! Oh Yeah! I’m getting ready for my cooking demo tomorrow at Graf Growers…. and it’s all about pumpkins! I picked up a box of baking pumpkins yesterday to cook down to a pumpkin pulp. Seriously, why would you use pumpkin out of a can when you can cook these? […]

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 […]
Tomorrow I’m preparing for my cooking demonstrations at Graf Grower’s. The theme is back to school recipes. This is one of those recipes that if you read the ingredients you may never try it. So I didn’t tell Hubby what was in them… Sweet potatoes and jelly muffins! Cook yourself up some sweet taters… Mash ‘em […]
This is by far the ultimate iced coffee… Coffee Granita. It’s elegant and pretty on your table… Sweet and light… and easy to make! A perfect ending to a dinner party. But let’s start at the beginning. This is recipe number two of my recipe submissions for the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program with Godiva Coffee. I started by brewing […]
So while you were having your Starbucks this morning…guess what I was doing? I was concocting a Mocha Martini using Godiva’s Chocolate Truffle coffee. You see, this post is part of Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program with Godiva Coffee. As a featured publisher on Foodbuzz, I am occasionally invited to experiment with products and recipes. Tough job. Someone has […]
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 […]
I’m doing my first food demonstration at a local garden center, Graf Growers. Summer salsas are the theme and what better way to celebrate the flavors of the season? There is so much you can do with salsas… So many flavor combinations… So much flexibility… Hundreds of combinations, but for tonight we’ll start with three. A […]
I like weird things. Sometimes it works when it comes to food and recipes. It didn’t always work when it came to boyfriends! It’s the artist in me….seeking the unusual and playing with the different. I had a lunch today with two of my favorite young mothers. I love having them and their wee […]
It’s Monday and I’m on a diet. Seriously. Too many vacations. Too many holidays. Too many celebrations. And this food blog writing thing…. Geez! This week I’m starting WeightWatchers…again. That’s not to say I’m not going to stop blogging about gooey, sticky things…I’ll just have to give them away. Until then, we’re having mango […]
I’m not a big fan of traditional potato salad. You know what I’m talking about – the egg-y, mustard-y, mayonaisse-y kind. Not that I don’t like eggs, mustard or mayonaisse – just not on my taters! For years, I’ve tried different variations of potato salad and never found one I liked so I made up […]
