Orange Goodness: Glazed Carrots
I’ve been on a quest for several years to create the perfect sweet and buttery baby carrot. It’s been a long, hard road with a lot of failed attempts. Finally tonight I arrived at my perfect answer. They were sweet, but not too sweet. And they were buttery, but not too buttery or greasy. (Sorry [...]
Sarah’s Berry-licious Smoothie
Okay, so there really is no sunshine here today. In fact, I think the sun just flat out took a weeks vacation from here in Connecticut because all I have seen all week is rain, clouds and more heavy rain. Today in particular, it’s pouring outside. Yuck. I have gardening to do!In any case, I [...]
Mozzarella-Basil Beef Roll-Up Recipe
I revisited an old style of cooking for me last night, putting a new spin on it. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile then you may remember my beef roll-ups. I make them in a wide variety with all sorts of contents. Last night, I decided that fresh mozzarella and basil were the [...]

Apple Honey Barbecue Glaze
My husband used to be the only griller in our house. I wouldn’t go near that gas-operated thing when he bought it, proclaiming the assault on the tried and true charcoal grilling method that has been used for years. Apparently, I’ve changed. In the past two weeks, I have learned how to start the grill, [...]
ARF: Fiddlehead Greens Salad
I was wandering the produce section of a local supermarket . . . I do that a lot . . . and came across these interesting greens right next to the sugar snap peas. “Fiddlehead greens,” the package proclaimed. They weren’t too expensive ($2.50 or so, for the package) so I decided to pick them [...]
WHB: Beet Greens Bruschetta
Check out Kalyn’s Kitchen later for a round-up of Weekend Herb Blogging, a fun event where we learn new recipes for great herbs. I made some yummy beets earlier this week, but it felt wasteful to just toss the beet greens. But I have never cooked them before and was nervous. After searching and searching, [...]
