Hello friends! It has been a day since I've posted a new recipe here and it feels good to be back! In this current season of life, my cooking goals have shifted from exploring new recipes to making it my life's mission to get our family of four to sit down for dinner as often as we can.
September 24, 2026Looking for a yummy app to make while watching the Super Bowl this weekend? Look no further! This recipe for Pizza Monkey Bread is easy, fun to eat, and yummo!
January 20, 2025I LOVE Thanksgiving - family, friends, the Macy's Day Parade. But if you know me well, you know I'm not a huge fan of Thanksgiving food.
November 15, 2024I have never made a classic niçoise salad at home before, but when I came across this Bon Appetit recipe for Summer Salmon Niçoise, I was intrigued.
July 11, 2024I love fresh tomatoes in the summer months and since I am a terrible gardener, I rely on those I can get from the farmer's market or roadside farm stand.
June 20, 2024Paul and I decided very early on in our parenting that we wanted to make a concerted effort to eat dinner as a family as often as we could.
May 23, 2024I know it sounds like hyperbole, but this is one of the best marinade recipes I've come across since my favorite Asian Salmon marinade.
April 11, 2024Are you an oyster fan like me? I love them any way oysters can be served - raw, fried, baked, grilled.
March 28, 2024Are you looking forward to spring? It is about that time of year when I start thinking about warmer temps.
February 8, 2024If you are searching for ways to channel warmer weather, what better way than by making a dish that screams summer flavors.
January 25, 2024Anyone who knows me well, knows I love to eat a big salad. I eat salad pretty much every day (sometimes twice!).
October 12, 2023My favorite food group is sushi. While I'm not the most adventurist sushi eater, I do consider myself a purist.
August 31, 2023I LOVE SOUP! Any time of year, I love soup! Even in the summer. Paul and I were out to dinner a couple of weeks ago and it was a very hot July evening.
August 10, 2023In 2011, Paul & I started a Cocktail Club in our neighborhood. It started with six of our neighbors, sadly one moved away a few years ago.
April 21, 2023Those who know me, or those who follow this blog regularly, know I love to cook and entertain. I also love a good kitchen gadget, but I'm not into kitschy tools.
March 16, 2023Another first here, I've never made or tried egg salad before. Is that weird? I love eggs and who doesn't love mayo, which is why I'm actually surprised I've never tried it before now.
February 23, 2023My 2022 New Year's Resolution was to cook one new recipe each week. I had done this back in 2006, and it really jump started my love for cooking!
January 24, 2023Looking for an easy recipe for entertaining a crowd? I love a good food board (check out this post and this post for more ideas!) when I'm entertaining.
May 19, 2022I love making fish at home, especially when the recipe is easy and healthy. At the beginning of the year, I set out to make 1 new recipe per week in 2022 (check out my New Year's Resolution), and this is one of the winners so far.
May 10, 2022Let me first say, there isn't a cheese I've ever met, that I didn't love. Well, there was that one highly stinky cheese I tried during our first trip to Paris almost 20 years ago, but it's rare because I absolutely love cheese!
