Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons Today is a gift. I normally don’t get days like this where I have the whole day to myself. In fact, I’m still in my pajamas! I’ve been spending the day tapping into my creative spirit and that spirit works best in pajamas. It’s a day to celebrate summer […]
spinachpastadish2 How many photos am I going to have to shoot to prove that you must try this? I am such a convert to homemade pasta. Ever since trying it for the first time a month ago – I can’t go back! I have turned into such a pasta snob – I won’t eat out at Italian […]
I hit it out of the park tonight….with such a simple recipe. One of my life long’s dreams is to get Hubby to appreciate Brussels sprouts. Try as I may, my attempts never registered on his “yum” meter. He basically would eat them out of obligation with maybe a grunt of recognition. No grunts tonight….only […]
Beets and Oranges Coming back from vacation and rolling right into Memorial Day, I needed to stop the madness. We were in D.C. and oh my(!), does that city have the restaurants! We never had a bad meal and enjoyed the diversity in the cuisines. Add to that – the ribs and hot dogs of […]

Today is a melancholy day – this week would have been Nonnie’s birthday. Two years ago, Nonnie left us for a better place. It was her time and she left behind warm memories and a large footprint on everyone’s life. Nonnie was my girls’ Jewish grandmother always making traditional Jewish foods like mandel bread, matzo ball […]
Happy Fourth! I don’t know about where you are but here in Ohio it’s hotter than…er… It’s hot. Too hot. Most cities around here have decided to cancel their fireworks because of the dry grass and shrubs around here. So we’re preparing a COOL salad to take to a friend’s house tonight. It’s fresh, zesty […]
Have you noticed the cherries in the stores these days? Wow! We can’t get enough of them. Today I bring you a bowl of cherries… as in this delicious bowl of Cherry Couscous! The cherries this year are so luscious! We’ve been buying them by the bagfuls and they are gone within a day. I […]
