Tortilla flat
For me, there has always been a bit of mystique surrounding tortillas. I love them, particularly the fresh ones from Fairway in New York City that come in a variety of flavors. But I have never tried to make my own. Hell, I wasn’t even sure it was possible. You’d think by now that I [...]
Iced Blueberry Latte
What’s morning up? Morning up is what you need when you’re alarm has jolted you from sleep, leaving you eyes half shut and your lids unyielding. It’s what you need when your limbs just don’t want to pull away from the warm, cushioned comfort of your bed. It’s what you need when you’ve been up [...]
Grilled Herbed Carrots
My son loves carrots. My husband likes carrots, and that’s high praise for a vegetable from him. And I really like them too. They are rich in beta-carotene and also contain alpha-carotene, both antioxidants that help ward off bad things for your body like eyesight loss and cancer. It’s Tuesday, which happens to be the [...]
Deep Dish Pizza Dough
I was having a craving for deep dish pizza last week and decided to try making it at home. I’ve made thin crust pizza dough a few times before by hand, but have never made deep dish or used my Breadman to create the dough. I decided to do both this time.Using the Breadman made [...]

STRAWBERRIES!!!!!
It’s strawberries time – they are ripe for pickin’ and at their sweetest now. I cannot wait to get out into the fields and get some for myself. I can already picture all the delights I will make with them – strawberry shortcakes, roulades, etc.
The Next Level: Sundried Tomato Pasta with Prosciutto
One of the first things I made in college was a sundried tomato pasta from the Cooking with Friends cookbook. I liked it so much that I made it again and again throughout college. Later on I discovered another sundried tomato recipe that included pesto in it, and that was another favorite of mine. I’ve [...]
One hour, One day, One weekend.
A bloggers group I recently joined called Work at Home Mom Bloggers posed an interesting question to members this week, “What do you do if you have an hour, day, or eek an entire weekend to yourself?” There is so little time that I have to myself these days. There are days that begin at [...]
