I know, I know I haven’t shared here in awhile…….thing is, I have been spending all my food energy over on Instagram.  It’s just an easier platform to use.  It’s fun and interactive, and I feel I can be more spontaneous and candid there, share more no-recipe-recipes.  I often shoot with my Iphone instead of… Continue reading

Years ago, when my husband and I took our very first trip to Italy we learned a tip about shellfish and cheese.  We were staying in a little pensione on the Adriatic with a restaurant on the main floor that faced the ocean, so gorgeous it could have been a movie set. One night, we… Continue reading

I want to share with you my latest food obsession –  grits!  Specifically white corn grits from Palmetto Farms, gluten free of course.  With little knowledge and no prior consumption of them, they are a revelation for me.  I didn’t grow up in the “South”, and have not even one relative that could lay claim… Continue reading

This year, I read many times that cauliflower is the new kale.  Really? I am still trying to get on the kale bandwagon, I didn’t realize that there was a time limit to commit.  Who would think the foodies so in need of a new vegetable to worship, would move on so quickly. Today, I… Continue reading

If you are thinking that I spend a lot of time and energy planning what to post here, with folders of yes, maybe, and perhaps worth trying recipes,  thank you.  Really, it is just a fly by the seat of my pants kind of endeavor.   Today in fact, I am sharing this fabulous recipe… Continue reading

I think I have to thank Mrs Kim, a cute little Korean lady in her late 60’s, for making my children adventurous eaters.  You see, she and her husband have owned the Japanese/Korean restaurant near us for as long as I can remember. We started taking our children there when they were perhaps 4 and… Continue reading

I have been making this pasta for a while now, but have been reluctant to share it with you. It being green and all, and me with no professional photography training. I thought it would be hard to get a mouth-watering photo. What light is good for green food anyway? Also, I thought it might… Continue reading

Mealtimes here are more often than not, a compromise, and lunch yesterday was no exception. Earlier in the week I had purchased a nice package of assorted exotic mushrooms, and was planning on mushroom risotto for dinner. However Bunny wanted pasta, she always wants pasta. I had been looking at those fancy mushrooms in the refrigerator for… Continue reading

It seems every year at this time, and this year is no exception, we try to fit in all those casual  BBQ’s that we haven’t had time for all summer. This year we promised ourselves we would not schedule every weekend, that we would try for more spontaneous get togethers. With no plans we could… Continue reading

There very few foods that I don’t like. So few, I can count them on two fingers. Swordfish is one. Whenever I admit this to any of  foodie friends. They assure me they have a certain preparation, that surely I will love. Pan seared and finished with white wine, olives and capers. Wrapped in prosciutto… Continue reading
