by Gino D’Acampo, from Gino’s Italian Escape This past winter we happened upon a wonderful series on Prime called “Gino’s Italian Escape.” The first episode took place in Amalfi, Italy ( he had me at “Amalfi”)! We were hooked after that. We had never heard of Gino D’Acampo, but this series is from 2013, and … Continue reading
I love reading the “At Home” section of the Sunday New York Times each week. Their recommendations for ways to navigate life during this time of COVID are great. There are lots of good ideas for keeping yourself and your family happy and busy this summer. My favorite pastime of late is making homemade ice … Continue reading
There’s two day left for Holiday cookies, and these are quick and easy. Actually, I don’t need a holiday to enjoy these cookies. I make them all throughout the year. They remind me more of Sunday dinners, rather than Christmas or New Year’s. You could always count on a relative to bring an assortment of … Continue reading
It’s that time of year when I start to yearn for jellybeans, Cadbury eggs, Peeps, and my mother’s “ Easter sweet ricotta pie.” It’s interesting how we always think our mother’s versions of our favorite recipes are always the best. We love the flavors of our childhood, making it indeed “the best” to us. To … Continue reading

We were told ahead of time that it would be vegetarian, with gluten free and dairy free options. I can totally enjoy eating … Continue reading
Had enough sugar yet? Are you counting the days until the Holidays are over and you can get back to healthy eating? I know I am. For me, the Holiday Season means a free pass to eat anything and everything that I normally would not dream of eating. By the time I get to New … Continue reading
Need a change from pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving? Your family and guests would probably revolt, but I do have an interesting addition/replacement. Sweet potato pie is very similar to pumpkin pie, but with a texture all it’s own. Also, the taste of the sweet potatoes is very apparent and sweeter than pumpkin, but not in … Continue reading
You know how there are some desserts that after just one bite, you know you must have the recipe? Well this pear tart is that dessert. A friend brought this to a dinner party, and after one bite, I asked her for the recipe. She said she was happy to write it up for me. … Continue reading
Well, I spoke too soon! All it took was being snowed in on one Saturday afternoon, and I desperately needed something sweet. Why did I give away all those Holiday treats? I looked everywhere in my kitchen, hoping against hope that I’d find something that I’d hidden in an attempt to put it “out of … Continue reading
