No pictures for this post, I’m afraid. I couldn’t stop weeping long enough to take any pictures. Seriously. I’m very sad. We live in New York. It gets pretty darn hot and humid here. I’m nine months pregnant. I don’t like the heat anyway, but add pregnancy to it….it’s not working for me. So, I […]
Summer Menu #11: BBQ Ribs and Potatoes
Well….no baby yet. I’m still packing boxes and cleaning out my cupboard. It’s too hot to do much cooking. And I’m too scatterbrained to do much fancy meal planning. Dinner solution? The slow cooker. My mom used to make BBQ Country Ribs all the time when I was a kid. It was one of my […]
BBQ Country Ribs (Slow Cooker)
These ribs could not be easier. Just plop them into the slow cooker, top with some BBQ sauce. Cook all day on low. And you’ve got yourself one delicious, easy dinner. Have you ever seen “Country Style Ribs” in your supermarket? Country Style Ribs are meaty and sold either with/without bones. Cooking them all day […]
White Peach Ice Cream: The Recipe
Edit: Thanks to the anonymous commenter who reminded me that I left the egg yolks out of the ingredient list. Sorry about that! I apologize for making you wait until today for the recipe… The peaches we’ve been buying the past month or so have been too delicious to use for anything other than pure, […]
Let’s See What David Lebovitz Says….
I get asked about making homemade ice cream all the time. Really, I don’t feel all too qualified to offer too much advice. My obsession with making my ice cream started when I went to Italy as an 18-year-old and tasted gelato for the first time. It wasn’t until several years later when I was […]
White Peach Ice Cream
Because I’m so mean, I’m going to make you wait for the recipe until later today or tomorrow. Or whenever I can get my act together long enough to write out all the directions. It’s not that detailed really, just a few more steps than usual. But because I am so nice and I love […]
From My Archives: Waldorf-Like Salad on Mixed Greens
Update: I realized the mayo statement below seems to have nothing to do with the recipe and post! Usually Waldorf Salad is made with mayo. I prefer it made with sour cream and a little lemon juice. _______________________________________________ I don’t love mayo. Sorry, I just don’t. (Unless it’s homemade….) When I was doing Weight Watchers […]
Frozen Coconut Key Lime Tart
This Frozen Coconut Key Lime Tart is really, really good. It’s so refreshing on a hot July day, or even a cold day in December. We love, love, love it! Really, we love anything with coconut and lime is sure to be a winner. There is coconut in both the crust and the filling. That […]
Experiment: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Lemon Curd
I had some leftover whole milk ricotta in my fridge that needed to be used. (I made and froze another Orange Ricotta Cheesecake for my husband’s upcoming birthday…mmm, can’t wait! I think it’s going to be even better than last time!) How could I use the remaining 1/2 cup of ricotta? I settled on pancakes. […]
Homemade Black Bean and Chorizo Chili
In our family, I am the one who loves chili the very most. I could eat it once a week at least. Typically I make some sort of vegetarian chili because that’s what I like the best. But every so often I cave and make chili with meat in it for my husband and kids. […]
