Had breakfast yet? It’s Saturday morning…that means no cold cereal allowed where I come from. You have to make something yummy. Well, unless you live here in NY and it’s going to hit 90 degrees before lunch time. Then maybe you feel like having something cold. Anyway, I actually made these yesterday in anticipation (dread) […]
The Best Chicken Sandwich in the Entire World
Every once in awhile I come across a sandwich that is note-worthy. When I was pregnant a few years back, I threw together a sandwich made from leftover chicken with a good slathering of fresh goat cheese and homemade sun-dried tomato pesto. P.S. I honestly think I will never get tired of that pesto. It’s […]
Summer Menu #6
It’s time to go to the grocery store–I mean REALLY time. But I managed to scrape together a pretty good meal for dinner last night with some leftovers and odds and ends we had hanging around. Easy Balsamic Chicken–this is surprisingly easy and good Crusty bread with Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil–our favorites are ciabatta […]
Garden Update
Our little porch/patio/balcony garden is doing splendidly well. It has been so fun for our kids to see the seeds sprout and turn into recognizable plants. We’re still waiting on a few herbs and plants to take off, but we know if we’re patient… On Memorial Day we headed to The Home Depot and bought […]
Spring-Summer Menu #5
Yet another great combo we ate last week– Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Mixed Greens Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette (we actually used Feta instead of goat cheese and added brine-cured Mediterranean olives) Bagged Kettle Chips San Pellegrino with fresh lime wedges
TWD: French Chocolate Brownies
I must admit that although these brownies were very good, I was a little disappointed. With “French” in the title, my imagination was hoping that these brownies would be more like a Flourless Chocolate Cake in brownie form. So, if you are looking for a great, basic brownie, this is a great recipe. They were […]
Fresh Cherry Pie
Cherries. One of my favorite things about summer. I picked up two gigantic bags at a local outdoor market last week. They were on sale because they were sort of funny looking–my husband described them as Siamese Twin Cherries. Each one had an appendage with its own pit. No matter. They were still delicious and […]
Leeks 101 and A Leek-Goat Cheese Tart
I promise I’m almost done posting recipes with goat cheese in them. I just love Chevre too much, that’s my problem. And as you’ve seen, we have been eating a lot of it lately. We also love leeks. My husband requested a savory tart and I knew that leeks and goat cheese were the way […]
