For Passover, the local Wegmans stocked up on Doc Brown’s Root beer, macaroons, and Black and White Cookies from Wein’s bakery. I grew up downstate, where — I guess — there are more Jewish people. So these “specialty items” that flooded Wegmans are just regular things I grew up eating — especially Black and White […]

Panzanella
There is always stale bread in my house. (Perhaps you’ve noticed.) My husband, Shane, will buy a loaf of bread after work, eat half of it, and then leave it to harden on the counter. Until recently, I just chucked it. But this month’s Is My Blog Burning? is all about reusing stale bread, so […]
Chilaquiles, aka Tortilla Pie
The top tortilla gets nice and crisp, while the other ones absorb the flavors of the filling. Cinco de Mayo is a “national celebration in Mexico [commemorating] the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Saragoza over the French expeditionary forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.” (Source: Wikipedia.) While most […]
Crockpot Lasagna
It sounds terrible, doesn’t it? Crockpot lasagna? Who would eat that? Maybe someone who thinks Chef Boyardee is a culinary genius, but not someone who has functioning tastebuds. And if there’s anybody in your family from Italy, you’re probably planning to put a hit on me right now.* But please trust me: this is a […]
Simple Bread Pudding
When life gives you stale bread, make bread pudding. A loaf of French bread lay on top of our bread box, staring at me. It was at least 4 days old and as hard as a rock. I’d planned on serving it with some lemon spaghetti but we wound up eating out – three nights […]
Giada’s Lemon Spaghetti
AliCat over at Something So Clever made this and gave it a thumbs up, so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s very good – a light, summery meal. And so very easy to make. (I didn’t add any basil because I forgot to buy some; it was still delicious.) Giada De Laurentiis’ Lemon […]
No-Bake Key Lime Pie
The color here is off; the pie really has an off white color. The lime juice isn’t strong enough to change the color and there are no eggs to add a yellow tint. Food coloring could easily give the pie more of a lime hue. Somewhere, I’d read that “real” key lime pie is not […]
Pepe’s Key Lime Pie
After finding Key limes at the local grocery store, I decided to make a Key lime pie for Easter dinner. Since we’re in NYC for Easter, I made the pie in an unfamiliar kitchen (my parents’). I say this because making this gave me more trouble than it should have. I’m attributing most of that […]
Spring Break
Photo Credit. We’ve leaving for NYC tomorrow to visit my parents for Easter, so things will be slow around here until we come back (…maybe; I made Q Cookies on the last trip). I want to hit up the new Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and, of course, Veniero’s (plus other non–food–related locales). I plan to […]
