As a courtesy to you, I went through the hardship of trying out these recipes — Basil-Garlic Butter, Grilled Corn, and Doctored Baked Beans — yesterday so you might use them today.

Homemade Marshmallows
Remember Martha’s old show, Martha Stewart Living? One day, she showed the audience how to make marshmallows. That’s the same day I went, “OK. She’s officially lost her mind.” Marshmallows never seemed like anything but a vehicle for other flavors to me. Dip them in chocolate: delicious. Mix them with butter and Rice Krispies: tasty. […]

Close your eyes, take a bite, and imagine sitting at a little café by the water. The sun beats down, but you’re shaded by an oversized yellow umbrella striped […]
Cake Decorating: Hawaiian Island Cake
My Favorite Plum’s Cooking for Children gives me an excuse to brag about this Hawaiian Island Cake. I made it two summers ago for Sadie’s Hawaiian Luau-themed birthday. We rented a small pavilion at Seneca Lake State Park, handed out fabric flower leis, and decorated with a blow-up palm tree (Oriental Trading Company), Shane’s old […]
New England Crab Melts
I can’t help but think that this pic will be in the 2050 edition of The Gallery of Regrettable Food. It’s tasty but it just has that look. Shane is attending a training session in Detroit and the kids are at their mom’s place. I am home alone. WHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, all right. There are lonely […]
