Have you ever tried cooking in a tagine? I hadn’t, not until my first day at the World Cuisine Boot Camp at the Culinary Institute. My group, and more specifically, I, was assigned a recipe that prepared chicken in a tagine, along with onions, olives, and other goodies. I have fallen in love with the […]
Scramble, Schramble. I’m tired. So, I’m just going to talk about my life a bit. If you want to catch up on this week’s posts, please do. There were some great recipes – including the Pancake Souffle from Friday, and the Pear, Fig, and Arugula Pizza. Carrie from Fields of Cake guest posted on Wednesday […]
Why I had never considered pouring caramel over pancakes or french toast is beyond me. But after one bite of challah french toast at the Culinary Institute that was graciously topped in caramel syrup – I was hooked. This sauce can be refrigerated and never firms up, just give it a quick stir if it […]
I really need to stop watching television. Okay, who am I kidding? Other than getting an eyeful of the Food Network for 13 minutes a week, about the most I see of food on TV is Boots eating bananas. But, it just so happened that as Jon was flipping channels the other night, Guy Fieri […]
A great guest post today – a Little Dranky Drank for the Kiddo’s …from Carrie of Fields of Cake. Welcome back, Carrie! We all LOVE your creations! On occasion, for dessert, my husband and I will indulge in a decadent adult mixed beverage. Usually it will be in my pretty silver shaker and be creamy, […]

Tell me these beauties aren’t the perfect thing to take us in to the holiday weekend. Chris, from Melecotte offered to guest post for me here today, as I am still playing catch up after last week’s jaunt to New York, and working on posts to deliver to you next week. She’s done a gorgeous […]
“How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.” –Marcus Aurelius I’d like to think I am a decent neighbor. I mean, I wave. I also once took cookies to a sick neighbor, and I’ve fed some neighbors breakfast, so that should count for something. […]
I thought I would post these a couple of days early for you so that you would have some time to prepare what you want to make this weekend…so many great ideas! Got a favorite? Have you seen something out there I ought to know about? Share it, please!
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today Brandy from Nutmeg Nanny, whom I finally met in person last week while in New York is guest posting! Brandy and I had two amazing dinners together – one at the Rhinecliff Hotel, and one at the Artists Palate in downtown Poughkeepsie. Both were great…and expect to see some recipes inspired […]
Spanakopita. Yep, just one more thing I had never tried before attending the World Cuisine Bootcamp at the Culinary Institute. I know, spanakopita isn’t even all that unusual…I just never ate it. But one day in class we prepared popular “street foods” from around the world, and this was one of the items on the […]
