This year’s inspiration: Martha Stewart’s Sugar Cookies. I’m going to make ’em this year, dammit! I really like Easter because A) a big part of it has to do with candy and B) it’s sort of the kick-off for Spring. (Easter is less fun, however, when you start to think about the whipping and crucifixtion. […]

Cinnamon Raspberry Muffins
This is a slightly adapted muffin recipe and, if I do say so myself, they came out very nicely. The flavor is gently sweet with a nice contrast between the warm, spicy cinnamon notes and the bright and fresh flavors from the raspberry jam. The crumb is tender and moist and the sugar topping even […]
Smoked Cheese Pasta Bake
I’m not a big fan of smoked cheese so I don’t know why I thought I might go for this recipe. It’s sort of like going on a date with someone you know you only like as a friend: kind of pointless and a little bit sad. Ok, it’s not that it’s bad. There ARE […]
Easter Brunch Ideas
Fear not, bunny: hasenpfeffer isn’t on the menu. We’re having a sizable crowd over for Easter this year: nine adults and four kids. I’ve decided to do brunch because: A) it can be appropriately served anywhere from, say, 10 am to 1:30pm (and I don’t know yet when people are going to arrive) and B) […]
Glazed Chicken with Carmelized Onions
Mmm, mmm! Steamy chicken goodness. The original recipe is called Caramelized Onion Chicken but, frankly, this recipe doesn’t have enough onions in it to justify that name. I doubled the amount of onions called for, and it still was pretty skimpy. So if you like onions (and I do), throw in two to three medium […]
Stovetop Mac-n-Cheese with Roasted Tomatoes
Two things I have been doing far too much of lately: Watching The Real Housewives of Orange County and craving, then eating, cheese. The former will be soon remedied (Housewives‘ season is ov-ah! but lives on in reruns & TiVo) and the latter: oh, I don’t know. I’m not usually a big fan of cheese […]
About the NYT’s Irish Soda Bread
My great-grandmother, Margaret Mulligan née Cummins, emigrated from Ireland when (as family lore has it) she was 14. She left her parents, never to see them again, crossed the Atlantic, went through Ellis Island and resided with some not-so-nice family members in New York. She got married to an Irishman in New York who –yes– […]
Roasted Balsamic Sweet Potatoes
If I had to marry a vegetable dish, this would be the one: Mr. Right. Roasting these sweet potatoes with a bit of balsamic, butter, and brown sugar gives a greater depth of flavor to their sweetness while adding complexity and a hint of richness. Simply put, they are superb. Run, run, run to the […]
Simple Roasted Asparagus
It’s a gorgeous day. The sun is shining, the snow is melting, it’s going to get up to SIXTY degrees today! (I didn’t wear a coat to work.) The promise of spring is in the air, even if it’s only going to get into the 30s tomorrow. So let’s celebrate with early season asparagus! Roasting […]
