Pancake Party! Banana Split Pancakes
A few months back, Rachel from Rachel Cooks! asked me to participate in Pancake Party, a month-long event celebrating (you guessed it!) pancakes. Since pancakes verge on phenomenon status in our house, I said yes and suggested Banana Split Pancakes.
Photo Overload: Skies, Trees and Tasty Bites
When I downloaded photos from my camera today, I found more than 250 waiting to be gone through. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a few tonight. On Friday, two days before Irene, I looked out at the setting sun and saw this sky. It was viciously orange and red, and made me think [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Snoopy Has the Right Idea
Earlier today, I realized that it made so much more sense to move tonight’s post to next week when it will be more timely. I started working on another post, but the recipe isn’t there yet. And frankly, Snoopy here has the right idea. After shoveling snow a couple times today (don’t worry, we didn’t [...]
Reviving Salt and Pepper Chicken (and 5 Food Photography Tips for the Non-Photographer)
If you are a longtime reader of Sarah’s Cucina Bella, you might remember my recipes for Easy Low-Fat Salt and Pepper Chicken Breasts. It was a long post with adorable pictures of the kids, and a bad picture of the chicken. On Tuesday, I had the chance to reshoot this recipe with the help of [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Jumping and Dancing
The kids and I often dance in the kitchen while I am cooking or cleaning up from a meal. As soon as I turn the music on, they come running … it’s so much fun.

It’s only five years old, and a wonderful glass top model with two ovens. I love it so. But today, it’s not loving me. [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Funky Carrot
When I was peeling carrots for dinner the other night, I came across this nobbly fellow in my bag from the farmer’s market. I couldn’t resist snapping a photo … So, what do you see?
Weekend at Sweetnicks
The kids and I just returned from a great weekend in New Jersey at the Sweetnicks household. I’ll be sharing what we ate and some interesting Jersey finds this week. But in the meantime, here are a few pics to tide you over.
Simplicity: A Caprese Salad
Sometimes, things don’t need to be complicated to be fantastic. A peach, pealed and sliced. An apple dipped in honey. A slice of bread spread with a thin layer of hummus. Or, in this case, a simple salad. Sungold cherry tomatoes, tiny balls of fresh mozzarella, freshly torn basil, a swig of olive oil and [...]
Almost Wordless Wednesday: Grilling Pizza
Ever since hearing my cousin talk about grilling pizza recently, I have been somewhat obsessed with doing it myself. I consulted with her on technique (she grills first, tops and then broils to melt the cheese), I set about to grill a pizza from start to finish. I really want to avoid that added step [...]
