[This is a post that I wrote months ago and never put on the blog. No picture, just a fantastic recipe.] During this health “event”, I have been so lucky to have the support of friends and family. My oldest (not in age) friend in CA, ABM, arranged a schedule for people to come over [...]

No Measurements, No Recipes

My brother-in-law made an interesting comment to me regarding our divergent cooking styles. It turns out, that because of this blog, he thought that I cooked from recipes whereas he cooks without them. In reality, I use recipes as guidelines, and much of what I have posted (except for breads and sweets) I have measured [...]

When we were in Italy, almost 3 years ago, we took a family cooking class in Tuscany. It was a blast. The cooking class took place at the home of the cooking instructor. Some of the participants were staying at the instructor’s home to cook for the week. We were only there for a morning/afternoon [...]

Lesson: read the recipe. For last night’s dinner, I tried a new recipe: Orecchiette with chicken sausage and broccoli rabe. Up until just this minute when I was looking for the recipe to link on-line, I thought I had followed the recipe. But, I hadn’t. The recipe said to blanch the broccoli rabe in boiling, [...]

When we were on the East coast visiting during winter break, we took a little side trip to visit my brother in Philadelphia. It was a quick visit, but we had a very memorable meal. My sister-in-law, AAB, is a great cook. She always makes special treats for us when we visit, an effort which [...]
Mmm Mmm Meatballs

Last week, my friend MKG asked me if I had a meatball recipe. Her request had great timing because it gave me an idea. Meatballs and spaghetti would be the perfect dinner for a crowd. So, I asked her if she would mind waiting a week for the recipe and she said, “No problem.” It [...]

Tonight, we couldn’t figure out if we wanted Puttanesca Sauce with our pasta or Amatriciana Sauce. J wanted only Amatriciana, L wanted Puttanesca, S didn’t care, and I was willing to make both and try a new recipe and freeze the leftovers. I had decided on Puttanesca earlier in the week, without thinking about a [...]
Freezer Favorites

Homemade Bolognese Sauce takes a long time to make, so it is good to make it in a big batch and throw some in the freezer. I did that a couple of months ago and it made short work of dinner on Wednesday night, even though it is technically “slow food”. I don’t even remember [...]
