September 26, 20181 Comment

Have you ever been watching a show or movie and see someone making or eating something that looks so scrumptious that you can't stop thinking about it afterwards? It stays with you, makes your mouth water, causes you to cook at late hours of the night, or drive to a store or restaurant because you … Continue reading Movie Scene-Inspired Food: Main Dish Bruschetta

July 25, 20184 Comments

I have been itching to post about this brilliant dish that I was introduced to by our friends Rich and Gretchen a while back.  They made this lovely whipped feta topped with honey for a gathering- served with grilled sausage from a local butcher, and warm naan bread.  Oh my.  It is salty, tangy, sweet and … Continue reading Whipped Feta & Our Recent Tooth Pick/ Bread Board Dinners

                                                    We play this game in my family, when we cook something that is pretty, or yummy, or special.  We say, "How much do you think this would cost at a … Continue reading Hummus: Cracking the Code

Cilantro Sour Cream Dip and Tostadas

February 26, 2014March 15, 20172 Comments

We have been having a lot of conversations lately in our house about whether foods are finger foods or fork foods.  My 12 year old is the chief offender of eating with his hands.  In his defense, he is a great eater and his messy eating struggles really have to do with the passion with … Continue reading Cilantro Sour Cream Dip and Tostadas

Some December Favorites

January 5, 2014April 20, 2017Leave a comment

  December was such a busy month with a very full load of grading and closing down the semester,  followed by a child-filled holiday season. Therefore,  blogging had to be put on the back-burner. However, two things that I made this month, that I just have to share are Cranberry Sauce and Jalapeno Poppers. Homemade … Continue reading Some December Favorites

Mexican Layer Dip- A Party Food Where The Party Is Optional

September 4, 2013March 10, 20172 Comments

Do you love Mexican Layer Dip as much as I do?  Tell me you've had it.  It's one of my favorite party foods to make (and eat). It is always a crowd-pleaser.  You can add or delete anything you like.  I put cilantro, mostly because it's so fresh and pretty, but you can omit it.  I … Continue reading Mexican Layer Dip- A Party Food Where The Party Is Optional

Chimichurri – I Could Almost Drink It!

October 14, 2012March 15, 20175 Comments

Have you experienced Chimichurri? It's an Argentinian Sauce, similar to Pesto, but made with a Parsley base.  If you haven't, you must! It was love at first taste for me.  A couple of years ago we went to Eastland Cafe for dinner with friends. In our life, this is considered special-occasion, high-style dining – since eating … Continue reading Chimichurri – I Could Almost Drink It!

Quick-to-Fix Favorites: from Icy Orange Juice to Croutons

WARNING: This is a quirky, random post.  The common denominator of all of these 4 recipes is that they are EASY, recipe-less and favorites!  You know when you try a recipe and it is so simple and great you just have to tell someone? I feel that way every time I make each of these. … Continue reading Quick-to-Fix Favorites: from Icy Orange Juice to Croutons

Spent, Yet Filled Up

August 10, 2012March 10, 20172 Comments

I returned from my trip to India spent and yet filled up.   I was utterly exhausted from the 2 days of travel including riding down a fog-filled mountain to a train station, a look out the train door riding on an old train for 7 hours, spending a few hours in Delhi- eating, shopping, riding … Continue reading Spent, Yet Filled Up

Asian Salad Spring Rolls

June 11, 2012March 10, 20174 Comments

Several years ago, a friend offered to bring soup to my house to share for lunch.  When she asked what kind I like, I told her most everything, so bring whatever she wanted and surprise me! She wowed me by bringing a wonderful ginger rice soup with fresh vegetables from International Market (a local Asian market/diner) … Continue reading Asian Salad Spring Rolls
