My contribution to this month’s book club gathering Haven’t had much to say lately. Well, no…I always have SOMETHING to say. I just haven’t had the inclination, I suppose, to post my thoughts. I’ve been all caught up in posting photos, creating to-do lists and cleaning the house. So much […]

It figures the 5,000th photo on my camera would be of the little guy — drool and all

Filled with two of my favorite ingredients: feta cheese and kalamata olives If I were stranded on the proverbial desert island and could only have one food, I’d jump right on the feta cheese. Then I’d slowly realize the mistake in that choice — what with that salty thing it […]

They’re called Hearty Pancakes (and they include golden raisins that are dropped on top during the process) I love pancakes. A lot. A lot, lot, lot. When I launched my first real culinary attempts — back in our Chicago apartment like nine years ago — I took it for granted […]

This time around I didn’t wing it. I found a recipe that sounded rather scrumptious and fairly easy. So scrumptious that the kiddo actually woofed it down too. I love, love, love it when he enjoys the same food that we do. Certainly makes life easier. And I also love […]

Way too tempting For some, the time between Turkey Day and Christmas is their downfall. All the parties and yummy holiday food. But for me, the real problem is Easter. For some reason more of the candies associated with this holiday contain that very special ingredient — marshmallow. I heart […]

Packed with carrots, apples, raisins and pineapple Had to get my baking fix today. Lucky that since I haven’t had any photo inspiration lately. Lucky that, too, since the kid loved ’em. Scarfed down an entire muffin by his lonesome. Speaking of muffins, has anyone ever wondered about the ones […]

I adore chicken sausages. Especially since being told I had to up my protein intake. I don’t like a lot of meat. Having options, then, is important. Sure there are all sorts of ways to cook up sausage, but I’ve found that my favorite is to saute them with a […]

They’re a tad bit underdone, but they’re still rich and chocolatey Kevin wants to be a food photographer. I think I’m inclined to dream about that too. There’s something I love about snapping pics of the stuff we create in the kitchen. But I dunno if I could really do […]
