Faye’s Monkey Bread

Last Saturday, my friend Nancy came over for her birthday dinner. She was in the mood for citrus flavors and Mexican cuisine, so I made: Sparkling Sangria Blanca […]

Easy Lemon Mousse

Even though I’m pretty sick of seeing Rachel Ray EVERYWHERE, her recipe for easy lemon mousse is easy and pretty tasty, though a bit looser in consistency than a regular mousse. For a fresher, brighter flavor, buy a lemon or two to zest and then add the peel to the mousse (keep tasting until you’ve […]

Hawaiian Salad

At the beginning of this summer, Jenny & I headed down to the north end of Canandaigua Lake for a picnic. We’d stopped by Wegmans to grab dinner: a sub with chips and soda for me, and roast turkey sandwich with a side of Hawaiian salad for Jen. As we sat on our picnic blanket […]
