Potato Salad Nostalgia
If you had asked me a week ago if I liked potato salad, I probably would have done some type of combination eye roll with a detestable smirk to show you in no uncertain terms how much I really can’t be bothered with all that cold potato with mayo and god knows what else kind […]
Cherries!!
I almost thought to do this as a Wordless Wednesday post, but I simply can’t be quiet about fresh cherries and when I get passionate and excited about a food, my hyper-articulate and descriptive nature fully reveals itself and well, I just can’t stop. Either talking about them or eating them. This time of year, […]
Glorious greens and Spinach Pesto
Maybe I was a rabbit in another life. Or maybe it’s just my normal summertime affliction, but greens have dominated my meals as of late. What fuels this obsession, and it can certainly be called one, is the availability of the ‘live’ lettuce heads my grocer has started carrying. I found these last summer and […]
Sides to delight
I’ve been holding out on you, but not on purpose. I’m guilty of thinking that somehow giving you a simple recipe as a means to serve frozen corn might just bore you to death.

Fire Roasted Vegetable Soup
Yeah, here I go again……taking pictures of soup. But….with surprisingly good results this time! I credit the extra sunshine from Daylight Savings Time. Say what you will about it; that extra light in the evening has a very magical effect on us weary winter dwellers. In case you missed it, my birthday was a little […]
Wingin' it on Roasted Vegetable Pasta
Admittedly, I like to break convention. I’m not one to conform to stereo-typing, I don’t mold myself to any expectation and I refuse to adhere myself to a certain role. At home, I’m just as easily found outside shoveling, chopping ice on our north-facing driveway, spreading mulch or digging a hole for a new garden […]
