Galley kitchen, I’m leaving you for another. Another with wide, open spaces and custom built cabinetry. It’s not me; it’s you. We’re closing on the sale of our house tomorrow (yay!) and the purchase of our new house … uh… this week (I hope). It could even be as early as tomorrow. I should know […]

Insalata Caprese
It doesn’t get much easier than this, nor more delicious. The colors are gorgeous and flavors are perfect. As there isn’t much to this recipe, use the best ingredients available, especially when it comes to the fresh mozzarella. It should be very white, usually shaped like a ball, and packed in water. If there isn’t […]
Italian Fried Peppers
These are something I remember vividly from my grandmother’s kitchen. We’d place them in a sandwich of fresh deli turkey and semolina bread with a touch of mayo, salt, and pepper – delicious. (Though the lack of good semolina bread around here makes me want to cry.) Italian Fried Peppers 1 pound Italian peppers, cut […]
Thanks!
Just a quick thank you to Margie at Mix-Pix and the anonymous (to me, anyway) reader who nominated me for a Foodie-Blog Award! (My very first blog award; it’s awfully nice.) Please visit Mix-Pix Awards and check out more award-winning sites (including the wonderful Acme Instant Food)!
Roasted Garlic
Since there’s about an hour and a half left to Tuesday in the Eastern Standard Time zone, let’s get this show on the road: Roasting garlic is one of the easiest things that can be done in the kitchen. Slice the tip off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, pop in the oven, […]
Raspberry Blackberry Crumb Jumbles
Welcome to Simply Summer Week! All week long, I’ll be featuring very simple recipes taking advantage of summer’s bounty. ( God, is that marketing schmaltz, or what? Sorry.) And since it’s summer, I’ll be taking Friday off. On to the first recipe! A few years ago (actually, now that I think about it, five or […]
We Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Food Posting For the Following Announcement…
For those interested, here’s a brief run-down of what’s been going on: We were supposed to close on the house we’re selling and the house we’re buying yesterday. On Monday, three days before this was scheduled to occur, we were told that wasn’t going to happen. Everyone — the lawyers, the realtors, the mortgage company– […]
Dr. Kevorkian
“In My Bar” is a feature on The Webtender. You select the ingredients on hand in your bar and Webtender spits out all the drinks you can make. One of the drinks it suggested was the Dr. Kevorkian — probably because you could be dead before you realize you’re drunk. According to the description, the […]
Turkey Corn Chili
Shane and I packed up most of our stuff this past weekend with the assumption that we would close -– and therefore move -– on Thursday. Eating take-out on paper plates for a handful of days, we reasoned, would leave us no worse for the wear. Goodbye Mikasa plates, Wustof knives, OXO spatula; I’ll catch […]
Crunchy Granola
What better way to celebrate a new blog design than with a granola? Huh? Huh? How? OK. I know I’m reaching. Granola isn’t that exciting. But my house is packed up for the move and I was in the mood for granola. Not having much on hand, I looked for a very paired down recipe. […]
