If it weren’t for the fact that the recipe for these cookies was already plastered all over the internet I would probably refuse to post it and never tell a soul how they are made. Things of high value are meant to be protected and kept scarce. Alas, they come from Dorrie Greenspan and she […]
Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Leeks and Tarragon
I Blogstalked “Barrister Bites” for this delicious recipe: My friend Barrister Bites routinely offers up great, healthy recipes that are not only good but also easy to prepare. I happen to know she has a punishing commuter schedule so how she manages to knock out a steady stream of winners every night I just don’t know. Seriously. Every […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Quest Begins
Can you believe that I’ve never made these before? Its true. I set out this week to tackle the “chocolate chip cookie thing” and realized that I had never actually made one before. Weird, huh?

Stuffed Mushrooms and Thanking Mom.
Today is Mother’s Day (and this is my 100th post!) and I think it is perhaps the first Mother’s Day that I am not actually going to see my Mom. Long story, nothing tragic, but I thought since I won’t see her I would connect with her by sharing one of the early recipes she […]

Artichokes: A Simple Pleasure
I don’t think there is a person alive who hasn’t scheduled a family get together and then wished they hadn’t. I’m sure this happens for all sorts of reasons. But just to be clear here, (and because my family reads this blog!), I never regret the occasions –I just regret it when I invite everyone […]

Not Your Everyday [Explosion!]
If you came here today looking for a fancy cupcake or a stylish appetizer you should probably just move along. And if my”social agenda” isn’t on your diet today then my entre isn’t going to sit well with you. Its an “everyday explosion” for sure. Just something I have to say and get off my […]
