It was bound to happen…just a matter of time… Sounds like a Jim Croce song! After several trips, several holidays and many, many blog posts… Hubby and I were sitting at the table, looked each other straight in the eyes… and said…. “It’s time to re-join WeightWatchers!” Come Monday, that’s what we did. It’s time, […]

Mmmmm….Sunday night suppers. You can enjoy them at the table, or casually on the couch or in your lap watching 6o Minutes. One of our favorite Sunday night indulgences is fried rice. We love all the veggies with the wholesomeness of brown rice, Asian flavors and the salty taste of pork. There are so many […]
Do you ever feel like the Universe is pushing you in a direction? Like the same thing keeps showing up and nudging you until you plunge in and try something you never thought you would try before? That’s how it is with me and smoothies… especially GREEN ones! It started last Fall when we were […]
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 […]
I have a delightfully simple recipe for you today. It takes tomatoes to a whole new taste level. Slow roasted oven tomatoes. I made them this weekend for my cooking demonstration at Graf Grower’s. I tossed them with cooked spaghetti squash and everyone raved about them! This is a perfect way to preserve the flavor of […]
It all started with a rumor last week at the barbershop. Nick Anthe’s was closing. Hubby came home bearing the news. “You’re kidding!”, I said. “I don’t get it…where are we going to go for our celebrations?” Nick Anthe’s restaurant has been legendary in Akron’s history of restaurants and one of THE places to go […]
What started out as a sharing a recipe with you today turned into a journey…and a fun one at that! Many years ago, I frequented a local restaurant who has since then closed but my favorite meal on their menu was Pasta Puttanesca. It was rich with flavor, salty and briney. I would go there […]
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? […]
It’s the best time of year in Ohio! We are at the height of corn season, tomato season and zucchinis are taking over the kitchen! Bring it on…. Apple and pumpkin season is right around the corner. Ever since I started cooking demonstrations at Graf Growers…we’ve been having corn almost every night! I can’t get enough […]
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 […]
