The Strawberry Pickin’s
I live pretty close to Manhattan. While to some New Yorkers, that seems like “upstate” it’s still pretty urban for the suburbs. I love–no adore–the chance to get away to the “country” for a day. We drove up to Secor Strawberry Farm in Wappingers Falls, NY, which is about 1 1/2 hours from where we […]
The Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake Disaster
My son turned two last Saturday. Because we had a heat wave that week, there was no way I was turning on the oven to make him a cake. I felt inspired by Aran’s post about the ice cream cakes she made recently for a birthday. Um, yeah. My cake had nothin’ on hers. (Seriously–go […]
Kitchen Q&A: Buying an Ice Cream Maker
A few readers and friends have inquired about which ice cream maker I would recommend buying. I wrote a post on Homemade Ice Cream 101. I included a bit about my Cuisinart ice cream maker, which I love. (Update: I have two now actually!) I own and adore my 1 1/2 quart Cuisinart. I think […]
Kitchen Q&A: Peanut Butter Swirl for Ice Cream
I’ve had a few e-mail requests for a peanut butter swirl recipe for ice cream. And I thought to myself, “Yeah–why haven’t I done that yet?” So, for my little guy’s second birthday, I decided to make him a peanut butter swirl ice cream cake. (Don’t get too excited–the cake was a disaster, despite how […]
White Cherry, Honey, Yogurt Sorbet
I went to my favorite Latin American market and was enamored with the gorgeous white cherries they had. I tucked my two bags away in the crisper where they were forgotten for a few days. When I remembered they were there, I got super excited. It was outrageously hot. I needed something cold to eat. […]
Warm Potato Salad with Sausage, Apples and Mustard-Shallot Dressing
I originally published this recipe over two years ago. I came up with this recipe because I happen to dislike creamy potato salads with mayonnaise, but I loved the idea of German potato salads made with a warm vinaigrette. We’ve really come to love this easy, flavorful salad as a great main dish for a […]
Malted Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I’m a huge fan of malt, but my husband is more so. He adores it. My little chef and I decided to make him a batch of malted cookies last week after he’d had a particularly hard day at work. Three of his favorite things in one cookie–malt, oatmeal, and milk chocolate. They were a […]
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 […]
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 […]
Spring-Summer Menu #4: Chicken Soft Tacos
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. […]
