Get ready, it is time for cheesy carbs and free stuff! First, the free stuff! I have been a busy girl over the last year writing and photographing my own cookbooks, and shooting the photos for other cookbooks. It has been a labor of love – and many, many cuss words. That said, I am [...]

I love casseroles. They are what I consider the perfect comfort food. Why? Well, they are usually easy to make, they can be frozen ahead for times when the act of cooking seems to much to bear, and they are a complete meal in one dish. As I said, I love casseroles but I rarely [...]

I know, the ‘Big Game’ is this weekend … but I have a shocking confession to make. I kind of don’t like football. We are a hockey family which means we love the quick pace, the action, the inevitable bout of teeth shattering fisticuffs, and the blare of the goal horn when someone tips the [...]

Last week I discovered that my local specialty market carries fresh yuzu when they are in season. I have never seen it fresh before, we usually only get the bottled juice if we are lucky, so I snatched up a few for experimenting. When I got them home and presented them to my husband, [...]

Yes, growing up I loved grilled cheese sandwiches made from processed cheese slices and that cotton candy white bread. Let’s just say my palate has matured.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Rather than give you yet another dip, enchilada, nacho, or taco recipe I thought to provide you a spicy/salty nibble to help soak up all the celebratory May 5th drinks. For a long while I have been in love with bacon wrapped dates. Something about sweet, tender dates wrapped in crisp, [...]

The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and it is time to plan those New Years Eve parties! This year, like every year, I will spend the evening with my family before returning home to ring in the new year with my husband and dogs. It is our little tradition. My mom serves the [...]

I find when guests come to visit that a good dip can make the evening. I’m not sure what it is exactly about dip that is so enticing, but I do know that a good dip recipe, or two, can be a life saver. Perhaps it is the communal aspect of dips, the fact that [...]

Let’s talk about party food, shall we? When I host, or attend and help cook for, a cocktail party I like to think about finger foods and two-bite dishes that are easy to eat, pretty and not too messy. I like savory dishes that stand up to a variety of cocktails and beers, and nothing [...]
