Every now and then my kids floor me. They taste something I think they will never like and end up loving it! Rose recently tasted an Asian noodle salad that I bought in the prepared food section at Whole Foods. She loved it! I try really hard not to give the girls store bought prepared […]
My daughter Rose (almost 7) is perfect! (OK I’m bias!) I really admire her! Rose is always happy! She loves art, music and dance. She cherishes her friends and adores her family! Everyone means the world to her! Rose is peaceful! She is my flower girl, hippy chick! Rose floats through her life and enjoys […]
A few weeks ago I was asked to make Osso Bucco for a dinner party. I was waiting for my meat purveyor to pack up my veal shank order, when I glanced down into their retail case. I gotta gander at the MOST amazing looking cowboy steaks. They were almost 2 inches thick! My mouth […]

Fried Squash Blossoms with Chevre and Basil On March 15, 2011 a “peeping” package arrived at our local post office. I got home and put eight tiny chicks into their new brooder home in our attic. Rose named all eight. Fuzzworth, Cuzi, Kiki, Peep, Nugget, Cutie Pie, Mary and Milly were shipped as soon as […]
I’m back! After suffering from many months of “blogger’s block” I decided to just get up and make something! ANYTHING! Back in the spring we went out to a mexican restaurant with friends. Most of us ordered their grilled avocado appetizer. It was unbelievable. I fell in love with it and decided to try to […]
