I’m all about delicious and easy recipes, so I’m a big fan of Mark Bittman’s mission (at least that’s the way I see it) of serving those up. Last Wednesday, the New York Times published his list of 101 Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less (which has been at the top of NYT.com’s […]

Cardamom Banana Bread
As long as I’ve known Shane (coming up on six years), he’s wanted to go on a camping trip. My idea of camping is staying at a hotel that doesn’t leave a mint on the pillow. (HEY-O! I’ll be here all week!) So we’ve never been. Oh, Shane has tossed out the idea of buying […]
La Cocina
I just found this article on NYT.com and thought it needed to be shared. I love that La Cocina helps women take their talent and passion for cooking and aids them in turning this into a sustainable and profitable career.

Mother’s Souvlakia with Tzatziki
The chicken in this Cooking Light recipe is quite good, but it’s the tzatziki that makes everything delicious. Trust me and double the amount of tzatziki you make so you can drizzle it all over your chicken and some pitas toasted on the grill, too. It’s so freakin’ good. All hail the mighty Tzatziki! Mother’s […]

Two Trifles
Last night, I had this crazy dream in which I was on Saturday Night Live. Incidentally, I was not a main cast member, but one of those comedians who get relegated to the back of a scene while an Amy Poehler-type shines. So sad. Earlier in the day, I had been on the set of […]
Death By Chocolate
In looking for a dessert recipe to bring to a Fourth of July party, I came across the “Over-the-Top” Chocolate Passion . The Chocolate Passion calls for a layer of brownies to be topped by a “pudding cake” (made with butter flavored shortening!) and two layers of chocolate cake, in the midst of which are […]
Grilled Corn with Lime and Cheese
Grilled Corn with Lime and Cheese served with Balsamic Marinated Skirt Steak. “Grilled Corn with Lime and Cheese.” It sounds fabulous, doesn’t it? And there are elements that are good: kernels of fresh corn, sugars caramelized by high flame. The tart yet fresh juice from a good lime. The subtle heat from a dusting of […]
SHF #32: Ooey-Gooey Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies
When I was a kid, my favorite candy was Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I couldn’t get enough of that sweet yet salty, crumbly peanut butter middle, enrobed in Hershey’s milk chocolate. Sometimes, I’d nibble the chocolate sides, leaving only a peanut butter center sandwiched by a thin layer of chocolate. I might pull the bottoms […]
