Simple, Silky Tomato Sauce
Simple, Silky Tomato Sauce
I have often spoken of my deep love for Julia Child, and my girl crush on Nigella Lawson, however there are some others that I have affection for, for example Madeleine Kamman and Marcella Hazan. Such exotic names aren’t they? Chef and teacher Ms. Kamman was someone I was also introduced to via public television, I believe as a teenager. Many years later I bought her large tome, The New…

Thanksgiving Traditions 2016
It’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and this year we are headed to NYC for the holiday. But, I get to make my favorite dinner of the year, in miniature for the Hubby’s father, so he will have food (and house/kitty sit) while are on the east coast. Every year I post about this holiday and the elaborate tables we do, along with alllllll the food. This year I’ll just leave a few handy tips…

Low Carb Vegetarian Lasagne
Low Carb Vegetarian Lasagne
As I mentioned, the Hubby, for digestive reasons, has gone no-carb. Not only has be lost a great deal of weight, but the digestion and overheating issues he had are completely gone! But, as a vegetarian, that makes his options for eating a little monotone. So, when he was in Grand Rapids recently and had no pasta lasagne, he thought he had found something he could have! Big surprise was, I…

New Culinary Adventures
The Hubby has become half (well, maybe 80%) of the man he used to be! He was feeling poorly after eating high carb/sugar foods, like pasta, and beer. Beer was his most favorite thing, so that was a tough one! At his own bidding, he cut carbs and sugar entirely. And almost 60 pounds later, he is reborn and feeling infinitely better! And so, my quest for feeding my vegetarian husband has taken…

Reaching towards the Middle East
Reaching towards the Middle East
I am on the place as I type this, headed back to Michigan from a week with the kiddies in New York. What a pleasure it has been! I feel like I am renewed in my soul and ready to tackle the fall. Before I do that though, let’s reach towards the Middle east for a delicious late summer dinner.
Since moving to Michigan I have been amazed at the variety of foods I have found from the Middle East. …

Summer can last all year!
Summer can last all year!
At least in your kitchen it can! I have, every year for the last 20 somehow stored tomatoes for the long bleak winter. One way is to blanch, peel, chop and freeze in freezer bags, for soup and sauce all winter long. Another way I have tried several times, and did this year, is oven roasting them until they are almost dry, and then dousing with olive oil and stashing in the fridge or freezer.

Tomato Salad, Egyptian Style
Tomato Salad, Egyptian Style
We are at the tail end of summer and I, once again, have been a bad blogger. I am making the effort to right that wrong by posting some lovely, easy recipes that are great for dining in the last few hot weeks of summer. First on my list is this Egyptian tomato salad. It’s fairly simple, but packed with flavor, and it only gets better with sitting for a while, so make it today and eat it…

Vegetable Chartreuse, Modern Style!

Have you ever looked at those 1960’s and 1970’s cookbooks? You know, the ones with everything under aspic, and things like avocado creme? A friend sent me a link a few years ago to one of the books that had been digitalized, and when I say “Ewwww..!” I wholeheartedly mean it. Everything had this yellowish hue, but the…

Pineapple Upside-down cake
I will confess right now, I had never made a pineapple upside-down cake ever in my life. But my father in law had a birthday and I asked the Hubby what kind of cake would his mom make for birthdays, and this is what he came up with. You know how loathe I am to use anything out of cans, and more of these recipes call for a boxed cake, again, something I refuse to do! So I did a little…

Blogging 101
I am part of the Blogging 101 team on WordPress this season, and our charge today is to write about our blog and why we write. Here we go!
I write a public blog rather than in a journal because I want feedback, and I never could understand the point of a journal that no one else reads. As I have said many times, my passion is to help others realize that cooking, while being a bit of chemistry,…

Bolognese for Vegetarians and Meat Eaters!
Bolognese for Vegetarians and Meat Eaters!
I find myself in a flurry of cooking and great ideas recently. Mainly, I am all about cooking so that we have food during the week, and I don’t have to cook, or get takeout each night. With that being said, I usually cook like it’s a job, sometimes taking photos for blogging and then forgetting to post it all, getting lost in the cooking and not enjoying the results. My pledge has always been…

Easy chocolate cake for the New Year!
A great cake for a New Year feast!
My messy, frosted cake!
Below you will find a seriously good, slightly unusual chocolate cake, and the best buttercream frosting I have been able to figure out how to make! It’s a little labor intensive, it’s easier to just grab a Betty Crocker box and take the short cut, but it’s SO much better to make your own! Normally I shy away from buttercream, but I figured out the perfect way to make…

Merry Merry, 2015
We made it to another Christmas, this time in the year 2015. Honestly, it feels as though we just got here, and now, it’s gone.
What have we to show for the year? As I see it, it’s the worst geo-political in recent history. All the terrorism and all the domestic absurdity, how do we move past this progressively? And when I say progressively I mean, how do we thoughtfully move to a place of…

A Traditional Americas Thanksgiving
A Traditional Americas Thanksgiving
Hello, dear Readers! We have had a frenetic past 6 months. They’ve involved a surgery, we’ve moved, we’ve had a sick kitty thrown into that mix, and now we’re unpacking! As you know, with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I am usually running myself pleasurably ragged preparing for dinner on Thursday. This year thought, Hubby’s cousins are hosting at their house, and so I am off the large…

For the 14th anniversary, I offer this story again It remains something I am either happy to talk about, working and living there for so long, or something so emotional that I can't even think about it without crying.
Independence Day in the USA! Summer fruits!
I have been missing for a month or so because I unexpectedly took a class, 4 credits in 6 weeks, which kicked my tush big time. I didn’t clean the house or cook for the majority of that time, and I am grateful to the Hubby for tolerating that! But, I hit this holiday weekend with a bang, and lots of cooking ideas, and lots of cleaning up to do. I made sauce and meatballs last week, some for…
