DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

Two of our sons had their year-end piano recital yesterday and there was a reception afterwards. I volunteered to bake. I had been looking for an excuse to try a sugar cookie recipe that my sister Gail uses for all her family celebrations and this was my opportunity. The cookies are delicious, and my sister’s [...]

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

If you like cheesecake and you like chocolate, this recipe is a winner.   It’s absolutely delicious.   I’d be happy eating a slice after dinner every night.   It’s rich though, so I’d want a small slice.

I made this to serve as dessert for my St. Patrick’s Day dinner.  I made it because both my mom and [...]

Chewy M&Ms Cookies

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

I just love cookies made with M&Ms. The recipe that I have been using for years was a little on the sweet side, but I still loved it. This recipe on the other hand is not quite as sweet. The cookie base has much less sugar in it, and consequently you can taste the cookie [...]

Meyer Lemon Gelato

In January/February, I always see a box of Meyer Lemons at Costco and I feel compelled to put them in my cart. I don’t ever have a recipe in mind when I see them, but I love citrus so much, that I always find something to do with them. This time it was gelato. This [...]

Sugar Saucers

I am late posting this recipe. I made these sugar cookies for the boys last month for Valentine’s Day. I was inspired to make them by a post I saw by Heather at HT Baking. I fell in love with her photo of the cookies.

This is another one of those recipes where you don’t get [...]

Quinoa Mac and Cheese

I wish I had a perpetual stash of these in my refrigerator. I’ve been eating them for lunch for the past couple of days and I truly think I could eat them every day without getting sick of them. They microwave well, they’re healthy, and nicely filling. I put some smoked mozzarella in mine, and [...]

Breakfast Crepes

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

Our boys LOVE crepes. A little sliver of a crepe shop opened in our neighborhood recently and the boys ask to stop every time we pass it. According to the boys, they make the best Nutella crepes.

In the past, I have made crepes reluctantly. I never thought I did it very well. I used to [...]

Frittata with Red Peppers and Peas

I really enjoy omelets for breakfast and every now and then I love a frittata for dinner. I found this recipe in the NY Times and just happened to have a small container of sweet peppers from the farmer’s market that I needed to use. I loved all of the vegetables in this frittata. I [...]

Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

My sister-in-law moved from Shelter Island to Chapel Hill, NC and we had a farewell dinner for her.   I wanted to make something in advance that I could throw into the oven when we saw her because I didn’t want to miss any conversation by standing in the kitchen cooking.   I usually make a lasagna [...]

Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Cookies

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

I received quite a few zucchini last week at my CSA, so I searched for something fun to do with them. We have eaten so many zucchini salads this summer, and quite a bit of grilled zucchini, so I searched for a sweet recipe.

I tried zucchini bread last week, which the boys rejected, so I [...]
