This Saturday morning I was craving something warm and baked for breakfast. After baking these Buttermilk Blueberry & Chocolate Muffins I ate two…the remaining muffins were scarfed down so quickly by my sons and their friends that before I even blinked they were gone! Thank goodness I got to them first… Continue reading
Monday dinner was an Italian meatless spaghetti squash dish which was excellent. However, that put my hubby and I in the mood for a serious Italian meat dish. (Lightbulb)… A traditional Bolognese sauce. I only make this dish a few times a year because it is so rich. In the throws of winter I make it with a creamy Polenta because it just screams comfort, but in the summer I make it with a light and simple Cappellini. You need to start early with this sauce because it takes up to three hours to prepare. It is a great dish for Sundays but it is not Sunday and I want it all the same… Continue reading

I only lasted about a year when I started craving rare beef… I did however develop a love for vegetables and a true appreciation for meatless meals. Although I used to buy my spaghetti squash, now we grow our own… Continue reading

So, here’s my take on a Chocolate Tres Leches… Continue reading
So simple and still the first appetizer to disappear at every party. It has become a constant request during the holiday seasons. I like to make them and freeze them on a cookie sheet and then store them in a big zip lock bag. When I have surprise guests or just need an appetizer, I pull out how many I need and pop them under the broiler. In 15 minutes I have a tasty ‘sweet & savory’ bite. I accompany this with a sweet and savory sauce and bingo… A Winner! Continue reading
If you like Greek Salad, you’re gonna love these Greek Turkey Burgers. The burgers are seasoned with all the flavors of Greece and topped with a marinated combo reminiscent of a delicious Greek Salad; tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, green peppers, red onions and Kalamata olives marinated in a simple dressing, and feta served on pita bread slathered with a scrumptious Greek yogurt dressing! Fork and knife may be required… Continue reading
Honestly, what could be better than garden ripe tomatoes. I wait all year to make this salad! I single out the most beautiful tomatoes. I must confess, right now my husband and I eat a tomato sandwich every day for lunch. I won’t even touch a tomato the rest of the year, from late July till late September it is tomatoes, (and corn) for me. This is a simple salad, but a real winner… Continue reading
