My husband’s aunt recently had some dental work done, so I was fishing through my saved recipes for a nice soup to make for her. I have made tomato soup before, but I liked that fact that this one did not contain any cream, yet it looked incredibly creamy (and appealing) in the [...]
Growing up, we always got to choose our birthday dinner and dessert. When I was younger, I would always choose Chicken Divan. To this day I still love it, although I don’t make it much. The recipe my mom followed called for sauteed chicken breasts served over a bed [...]
I made this salad a couple of weeks ago while on Shelter Island. At the time, I was cooking so many delicious new recipes that I found it difficult to post them all in a timely manner. Unfortunately summer corn is on its way out (at least in the Northeast) [...]
A friend visited Shelter Island this summer and brought a Costco-sized bag of quinoa. In the past, I’ve made quinoa in many ways, but using it as a base for tabbouleh is wonderful. I made this recipe a couple of times this summer. It’s pretty good [...]
I went shopping to buy the ingredients for my mom’s summer pies. As I was standing in line with a basket full of fruit, heavy cream and cream cheese, the woman behind me asked me what I was going to make. I told her about my mom’s pies which are [...]
I took the boys to the library the other day for a smoothie-making class. They really enjoyed it – even the one that doesn’t like any fruits or vegetables. He didn’t like any of the smoothies (I tried them and can confirm that they were delicious), but I gave him credit for trying [...]
What a treat these little pies are! We had them for dinner on Sunday night and I wish I had made more. I do have some extra shrimp in the freezer, so I’ll definitely make these again soon. The insides have such a great combination of flavors – bacon, shrimp, fresh tomatoes, scallions and lime [...]
I wanted to make a traditional chicken soup yesterday and when I was hunting for a recipe – believe it or not, I’ve never made chicken soup before – I found this recipe instead. I actually thought it was going to be more of a soup than a stew. I could have added more chicken [...]
I have been eating so many leftovers from Christmas Eve that I decided I wanted something else for dinner tonight. Something different but simple. My parents gave me How Easy Is That for Christmas. It’s Ina Garten’s latest cookbook. I love all of her recipes. I don’t think [...]
Once again, this is a case of the picture not doing the dish justice. Sometimes that happens when something is so good that we eat almost all of it, then I scream, “Don’t eat the last one… we have to photograph it for the blog.” Unfortunately you can’t see the [...]
