My mom was a great cook… always experimenting with new recipes she had collected from friends or the newspaper. A couple of years ago I found two of her recipes boxes I had forgotten I took when she passed away several years ago. I made a promise to go through the recipes and make as many [...]

I think the only time I eat lamb is at Easter. It’s not that I don’t think of it – I associate it with Easter as it’s pretty much the only time my mother made it. Occasionally though, she would make a lamb stew… This is so simple. You can serve it with roasted potatoes or mashed. [...] I keep forgetting how easy it is to poach fish. Using white wine gives it that extra oomph that makes it special! Every time I serve this I get looks from those I’m serving that I must have spent hours in the kitchen slaving away. This is actually one of those dishes I feel like I [...] Yeah, yeah…. “FUN-nel.” I’m just bein’ silly. I’ve had fennel on the brain lately and I’m not sure why. It’s been so rainy here in NYC the last couple days that’s it has put me in the mood for soup. Cream of Tomato was always my favorite as a kid. These days I try not to [...] Baked Tilapia with Bread Crumb Topping Tilapia is a medium flavored fish that tend to pick up what ever you cook it with. It reminds me a little of catfish. You can easily broil it with a little olive oil and lemon juice or fancy it up a bit. I wanted to something crunchy so I [...] Pork Chop with Apple-Pecan Stuffing What’s for dinner?? The inevitable question pops up frequently. Sometimes I don’t have a clue. I hate getting into a cooking rut… cooking things I don’t have to think about that are quick and easy. It’s not that this pork chop recipe is difficult, in fact you can substitute 1/2 teaspoons [...] Thai Broccoli Slaw and Wrap What is with this broccoli slaw craze?? I keep hearing people mention it, “you can buy it already prepared in a bag – just add whatever dressing you want!” I’ve looked countless times when grocery shopping but had never seen it… until the other day. In with the bagged lettuce in [...] Raw Vegan Fudgy Balls With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I’ve got chocolate on the brain. Okay… I always have chocolate on the brain – I don’t need February hearts and cupid to set my taste buds a tingling!! I am always working on a new dish with chocolate or sometimes pulling out something tried and true. However, [...] Potatoes Anna just out of the oven I don’t know who Anna is, but she sure makes great taters! A friend sent me a link on this… based on a recipe from http://cooklikeyourgrandmother.com/blog/ Apparently there are recipes for this using exact measurements…. but I don’t think it’s necessary. This is one of the easiest and [...] I don’t know what it is about the cooler weather that brings to mind fruit crisps. Warm, cooked fruit with a crunchy topping makes my heart sing. Overly sweet desserts are too overwhelming to me but there’s something about the tartness of cranberries mixed with apple that’s extremely appealing. This recipe came about because I had some [...] |
