Another great weeknight meal- this time, we have Robin Miller to thank. I recently took her book, Robin to the Rescue, out from the library and have been copying her recipes furiously before the book is due back. Nick always enjoys a good steak, and I wanted to treat him to some before I leave […]

Nothing’s tastier on a fall day than soup or stew. During a lovely visit from my in-laws, I picked this recipe from the September issue of Rachael Ray’s magazine. It makes a pretty big batch, but it goes quickly! The guys both took plenty of seconds. The unique thing about this chili is the addition […]

I couldn’t resist posting this: banana ice cream with a chocolate chunker! Perfect.

What’s Tuesdays with Dorie, you ask? Tuesdays with Dorie is an online baking group that tackles one recipe every Tuesday from Dorie Greenspan‘s Baking:From My Home to Yours. This week is my first week, and the recipe of choice is Dorie’s Chocolate Chunkers. These little cookies are packed with four kinds of chocolate – unsweetened […]

I have tons to post from the last day or two – mini banana whoopie pies with cinnamon cream cheese filling, bread salad, vegetable enchiladas – but my camera is on the fritz. Promise to be up and running soon!

Another great recipe from Everyday Food’s Great Food Fast. This is one of my favorite cookbooks. It could be the glossy, perfect food photography.. but then again, every Martha recipe I make comes out great – including this Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Oven-Baked Polenta. The recipe was pretty simple. Most of the ingredients will […]

My mother, whom I affectionately call “Kath,” texted me last night with a request for walnut recipes. Apparently, she’s got loads of them. But instead of storing up for winter, she wants to use them up. So I compiled a little list of walnut recipes that are perfect for fall (which we hope is on […]

I’ve always wanted to start a food blog, but I haven’t had the time or the urge to really start until today. I’m an avid food blog reader – I love to sift through the entries on Tastespotting to find new recipes and ideas. Now -as I’m in a new home, with my new husband, […]
