I’m playing catch up on a few recipes I’ve had sitting, waiting patiently to be published. Make sure you scroll down to see them all.
Banoffee Pie
My dear friend, Jenni, posted about Banoffee Pie awhile back. I’ve been thinking about it and hearing about it off and on ever since. I knew I needed to try it. And since it was a Sunday night when I first made this, I decided it was time to resurrect Sunday Night Desserts. And then […]
Baked Zucchini, Tomato, Onion Crustless Tart
This doesn’t cut into wedges like it might with a savory crust. This is good when you are trying to watch your carbs. It makes a good side dish to grilled lean meats and poultry, or on its own. I made this awhile back with some of the juiciest, yummiest tomatoes I’d had all summer […]
Buttermilk Waffles with Buttered Apple Cider Sauce
I was intrigued by this recipe for Buttered Apple Cider Sauce I found in The Joy of Cooking. This sauce is divine. The preface in TJOC says something about it being strange. Nothing strange here. It’s so good. It’s so good that you don’t even need to put it on anything other than a spoon. […]
Slow Cooker Cassoulet
Cassoulet…..maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t. I saw a cooking show all about Cassoulet awhile back and I knew I had to try it. My first real taste of it was a few weeks ago at Buffet de la Gare where my husband and I ate to celebrate our anniversary. Their version (see […]

I’m making different things for each meal. Thursday:Mixed Greens with Dried Black Currants and Toasted HazelnutsLion House and Cooks’ Illustrated Crescent Rolls with Raspberry Honey Butter (I […]
My Wedding Cake
This was my wedding cake that I made five years ago today. My baking skills have come a long way since that day. I was an adventurous 21-year-old and I thought, “Why not? How hard can it be?” All it took was a little research and patience, and voilà! (It actually took weeks of planning.) […]
Phyllo Cups with Brie, Preserves, and Pecans
I first made these when I catered a wedding reception two years ago. The groom’s mother had tasted something similar at a farmer’s market and asked me to recreate it. This is what I came up with. Time and time again, it has become a favorite of many. Brie is one of the key players […]
Baby Shower Report
The baby shower was a smashing success, if I do say so myself. From all the comments I got, I think everyone liked what I made. I’m still editing photos and recipes, so I will get those posted soon. The final menu: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Fresh Sage and CreamFresh Herb and Gruyere ThumbprintsPhyllo […]
