Spicy Baked Zucchini Wedges
I made this recipe for Spicy Baked Zucchini Wedges up as I went along and they turned out great! Like most of my recipes, there is a lot of room for interpretation and experimenting. I made these with Mexican spices – ancho chili powder, adobo seasoning, and ground chipotle. That chipotle makes them extra spicy! You could […]

For Mother’s Day, I wanted to make pound cake flavored with rose water. And I wanted to have the cake with berries and cream. (You have to remember how excited I get about making my own birthday cake each year–Mother’s Day is the same kind of thing.) I knew Dorie Greenspan had a recipe called […]
Florida Pie

Chives are one thing I didn’t need to plant in my herb garden this year. I love that despite my total disregard and neglect for this plant after September, it still keeps coming back each April. I never even water it until I start to see little green shoots emerging from the soil. Also, I […]

Marinated Balsamic Chicken
This recipe for Marinated Balsamic Chicken came from a dear friend that my husband and worked with when we were newly married. Our neighborhood and community included many Italian-Americans.
