I saw this picture on my college friend’s Facebook page and immediately asked him to share the recipe. This is from Buddy Enright of Southern California. I’m so happy to share the No Knead Bread recipe! Kudos and acknowledgement goes to the current revivalists Jim Lahey (Sullivan Street Bakery in NYC), the team at America’s Test […]
Chicago food writer and blogger Julie Ohara from A Mingling of Tastes came up with a great idea to honor Gourmet magazine. I hear there are few other bloggers hosting a tribute to Gourmet. I grew up on Gourmet. My mom bought it and for years I’ve ripped out recipes and saved them. This menu […]
I wrote this recipe last year for Hannaford’s fresh. I like the normal, not mammoth, size of these muffins. Between the oats and the blueberries, you are looking at a health boosting treat, although if you really want to change your diet you can find out the Nutrisystem cost online which is perfect to keep […]
"From Scratch?" BBQ Beef Ribs ready to go into the oven. Michael Pollan’s recent article, Out of the Kitchen and onto the Couch has got me in a lather.

We tried a new brownie recipe this week. They were a big hit with grown ups. My children thought they were "just OK." What’s a mother to do? Well, I’ll tell you what this mother did. I packed apples and corn chips into the lunch boxes, then I sat down with a good cup of coffee […]
My long time friend Adam, whom I met while living in Washington, D.C. is a restaurant critic and food writer for New York magazine. I have shared some wonderful meals with Adam and he taught me how to order sushi. He also makes a killer Chinese sesame noodle dish (we’ll have to talk him out of the recipe). As a child, […]
No matter what your favorite sport; nachos are perfect for game day/race day fare. I worked on this recipe last year. It was definitely developed with men in mind, thus the recipe name. It is full of meat, cheese and hot peppers. Bring it on! Super Macho Nachos 14 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 pound […]
