I had one of the best pizzas – Roquefort, green apples, and arugula – at a little French cafe called Match 65 in NYC this summer. The flavors were strong but so great together that I decided to recreate a slightly milder version this past weekend. (I love to add a little vacay […]
Okay Ladies and Gents! (I’m not sure if I actually have any male readers other than my ever-loving hub, but I do try to keep it equal opportunity around here… at least when it comes to the recipes 🙂 Get your flours ready: we’re making – and freezing, because y’all know […]
This yummy, quick, easy recipe – aren’t those the best kind? – is my take on the classic philly cheesesteak. It’s also a great way to use up some leftover chicken.
During our trip to San Francisco, hubby and I got the best grilled cheese sandwich from Cowgirl Creamery in the Ferry Building Marketplace. We actually split one, but a couple bites in, we were both thinking we should have gotten our own! I decided to try to recreate it. Although […]
Hubby and I hosted a pink-themed – okay, I chose the theme and he kindly went along with it – dessert party this past weekend. Fun, calorie-rich times 🙂 MENU Brownie Bites with Strawberries & Whipped Cream Red Velvet, Chocolate, Yellow Cake, and Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes Chocolate Covered Strawberries Mini […]
This quick, easy side dish is one of my hubby’s absolute favorite foods. I can see him cheesin’ from a mile away every time I make it 🙂
I seriously believe that breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day: it gets my metabolism going, helps me shake off I’m-still-sleepy sluggishness, and sets the tone for the rest of day. (I am not so joyish or sunshiney when I’m hungry.) Sometimes, though, my mornings are […]
This quick-cooking recipe makes either 2 smaller or 1 larger serving and can be made ahead and reheated 🙂 Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups water (for creamy oatmeal, sub in 1/4 – 1/2 cup milk for an equal amount of water) 1/2 cup whole oats 1/2 cup nuts, chopped* 1/8 teaspoon […]
This is a super-easy, quick recipe that can be doubled, tripled, etc. to make extra for freezing 🙂 Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless turkey (or chicken) cutlets 1 10oz jar orange marmalade* 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar salt and pepper extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) * I like St. Dalfour, but […]
After realizing that I know little no portion control when it comes to cereal, my go-to quick lunch (sometimes 2 slices and always with a mug of green tea) has also become my go-to late night snack (sans tea). Almond butter on multi-grain toast topped with sliced apples: simple, fast, […]
Salmon cakes make a great +1 to risotto, green salad, or – for my fellow Southerners – grits 🙂 Ingredients: 8 7.5 oz (or 4 15 oz) cans of red salmon, skin and large bones removed juice of 1 large lemon salt and pepper Optional: 1 medium shallot, chopped 1 […]
I am not much of a baker. Baking usually requires very specific ingredients and extreme care with respect to ratios, proportions, and other complex statistical matters. I like recipes I can play with: throw in a bit of this, a dash of that, and generally make it my own without […]
