Okay, okay, okay. Time to fess up. I always suspect I’m pregnant when my cooking and baking falters. The perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe? Totally flops. The cookies come out thin, greasy, and crispy instead of soft and chewy. So, here’s my confession. I’ve been trying–ever so trying–to start baking again now that the morning […]

Happy New Year to you all! Thanks for reading. I’m still working on renovating the ol’ blog. It’s taking me longer than I originally planned. So, I will still post a few recipes now and then while I finish up. In other news, part of my absence has been due to some pretty intense morning […]

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.

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 […]

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. […]

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 would feel remiss if I didn’t post what I’m making for Thanksgiving this year. And we are actually attending two Thanksgiving dinners–one tomorrow and one on Friday. 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 […]
