Frittata
You have people coming for lunch. It’s Sunday at 10:30 and you are still dilly-dallying around the house in your bathrobe. A friend has given you a bag full of fresh herbs and vegetables out of their garden and you would like to use them before they spoil. You’ve invited 30 people for brunch and […]
You Little Devil
The other night my mother called me. She had a question. She needed a frosting recipe and asked if I had a good one. She was baking a cake! She took me off guard. I was a little confused. I needed more information! It wasn’t the question about the frosting that stumped me, it […]
Heavenly Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Thanksgiving…check. Christmas…check. I have officially gobbled, wolfed, munched, chomped and devoured my way through the holiday season. Do I have any room left for New Year’s Eve? Of course!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi in a Brown Butter Gorgonzola Sauce with Crispy Sage and Chestnuts

I have it all planned perfectly in my head. A fire burning in the fireplace, the smell of pine from the Christmas tree, a silver punch bowl […]
The Perfect Empanada
A very special person (VSP) asked me if I have ever made empanadas. Truth be told, no.She has been trying to duplicate a pumpkin filled empanada that a friend had eaten and loved out in California. VSP has been having a problem with the dough. I forgot to ask her if she was making a savory pumpkin filling or a dessert […]

Quiche Lorraine
Fall is now in full swing. I am ready for the change of seasons. The change from summer…grilling, beaches and fruity beverages into fall..cool nights, hearty stick to the ribs stews and spiced laced desserts. Right before summer ended I dragged Big Daddy to see the movie, Julie and Julia. We enjoyed it very much. The […]
