A collection of easy recipes for busy families, including pictures of each dish and some fun background on how one set of working parents, one teenager and one dog manage have fun in the kitchen!
Panzanella! Isn't that a great word? And if you saw it actually being said by my pale, freckled, Irish girl self you would laugh your head off, because it really needs to be said with a fabulous Italian accent to get the true benefit. But no matter, (read full article)
Here we are smack dab in the heart of summer. It's hot, hot, hot out there, and while I do my share of complaining about the hazy hot and humidness, I secretly love it, and will take it over February any day of the week.We are also happily right in (read full article)
I have to say, I paused a bit on the idea of this salad. Shrimp and...watermelon? In the same bowl? Possibly ending up on my fork in the same bite? Really?Really.It's one of those things that sounds like it might not work, but trust me, it does. (read full article)
Last weekend I strayed a little out of my usual photographic territory. No cookies, no babies, no puppies...I photographed a car show. And despite pretty much not having any idea what I was doing, the pictures came out...not so bad.And so I did what (read full article)
This recipe made me ridiculously happy in every way.First of all, it is one of those recipes that looks like you slaved over it for hours when really you messed around in the kitchen for about 20 minutes. Second, it takes full advantage of the fresh (read full article)
Fresh tomatoes, creamy blue cheese, a little home-made remoulade sauce - do I have your attention yet? For some reason, I am on a roll with the side dishes (see my recent post on Lemon Ricotta Potatoes), which is unusual for me, but I am going with (read full article)
Okay, so this whole thing started with two things. First, my wonderful friend J gave me her copy of Taste of the South magazine. I had never heard of this one before, but it took about 30 seconds of paging through it before I was filling out my own (read full article)
I love love love Mexican food, but sadly for me, really good Mexican restaurants are few and far between out here in the wilds of Northern New Jersey. Yes, there is El Bandido in Spring Valley, but unless you want to eat your Mexican dinner at 4pm in (read full article)
We are french toast FANATICS in my house. The teenager has said to me more than once that when she comes home from college it is going to be to see me and her dad and to eat some of my homemade french toast. (Not necessarily in that order, I'm guessi (read full article)
I am always a little skeptical about whether lasagna is really, truly worth it. I mean, we've all had it one million times, and it's always kinda the same. But every once in a while I run across a recipe that restores my faith in lasagna, and this (read full article)
As some of you know, every morning I post whatever I am going to cook that day as my Facebook status for the day. (The origin of this is as follows: when I first got my Facebook page I never posted a status. The teenager told me that made me extremel (read full article)
I just LOVE this recipe. It is simple and fast and so so so delicious. You can serve it hot or cool - it is completely flexible and agreeable. The one this you absolutely MUST have is fresh and wonderful everything. Okay, the pasta can come out of a (read full article)
This soup is the single best way I know to use up that piece of blue cheese that you bought for something else but still have a little piece of. The Southern husband and I are currently trying to train ourselves to use up all of whatever ingredients (read full article)
I was pretty sure I knew everything there was to know about making polenta (or as the Southern husband calls it, fancy grits). Some coarse cornmeal, some boiling water, some salt, a little butter and you are in business, right?It turns out there is (read full article)
I have (I think) some good qualities, but as my friends and family will tell you, flexibility is not one of them. I am very attached to all my lists and schedules. Once I have something on my calendar I am very cranky about changing it. Which lead (read full article)
This blog started out with me trying and then posting new recipes that I had tried out and loved, and a lot of what I put up here is still exactly that. But a few months into it, it occurred to me that I should also be sharing some of the tried and (read full article)
I am a sucker for any recipe that has "one bowl" in the title. And this particular one comes from one of my favorite go-to cookbooks for those crazy weeknights when you come home and you pretty much have no time whatsover to get dinner on the table.. (read full article)
Here's one of the many things I love about my little blog...one thing leads to another and I end up getting ideas and recipes from the most unexpected places. Take this little number, for example. Where would you expect something that has the words " (read full article)
When it comes to seafood, shrimp is one of my very favorites. I just counted and there are twelve shrimp recipes in my archives of this very blog -- and probably 3 times that number in my recipe binders. Here's a little video tribute to my love of (read full article)
I hit the jackpot this Christmas with cookbooks - everything from the spectacular ALINEA, which is more of a fine art collection of the most glorious food photographs that I have ever seen in my life, to the book and DVD set of HAMBURGER AMERICA, whi (read full article)
