We’ve started eating dinner out on our patio, which is so wonderful considering we can’t all eat in the kitchen at the same time. (You know, small apartment, etc…) Anyway, I’ve been making a lot healthier meals for us as the weather has been warmer and who’s in the mood for heavy meals? Not us. […]

I love my friend Tania. She is so sweet and thoughtful, among many other great qualities. And she also shares our family’s love of goat cheese. This being the case, when she saw that our family didn’t make it back up to the Berkshires over the weekend, she went to Rawson Brook Farm and bought […]

I confess that I adore sweet rolls–in any shape or form. But, it is sometimes hard to find good ones. Really–it is. Don’t even give me a cinnamon roll from a cardboard tube. That is not even really fit for human consumption–sorry, I hate to break it to you. (Okay, maybe in an emergency.) I […]

As I was trying to figure out what to do with the remaining 1/2 recipe of brioche from Tuesdays With Dorie, I came up with a wonderful idea. Why not make a cheese danish sort of version? I wanted to use sour cherry jam, but alas, I pulled it out of the fridge and found […]

Yesterday as my little girl requested Orange Muffins for breakfast, I realized I have never posted this recipe before. My little girl often requests these muffins. They are her very favorite. This recipe came from my good friend, Kristen. I’ve been making them for years since I had them in mini form at her house. […]

I apologize for the bad picture below. You can’t see all the wonderful components of the salad–like the goat cheese. But, don’t let that deter you from trying it. The Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing is really marvelous and mingles well with the goat cheese and almonds. Mixed Greens with Chicken, Goat Cheese and Toasted Almondsoriginal recipe […]
