Blueberry season is just about here in full force., and I started to feel the overwhelming need to bake something, using my favorite seasonal berries. Please check in the archives under Blueberry Corn Muffins and Blueberry Pie to see more on my love of baking with blueberries. So many blueberries, so many recipes….what should I … Continue reading
There’s nothing I like better than a recipe for a sweet treat, that appears to be somewhat healthy. This is one of those recipes. When you glance at it, you see that there is no added sugar. There’s no flour. The ingredients are quite good for you….walnuts, pecans, dates, cinnamon, cocoa powder, dark chocolate. What … Continue reading
I’ve been spending some time educating myself on the effects of diet on ADD and ADHD in children, as well as adults. I’ve been attending seminars on “Healthy Treats Alternatives” and “Healthy Stuff Kids Will Eat.” I can’t read enough articles on this subject. It’s been enlightening to say the least. I do believe that … Continue reading
If you were to look up “pastiera” in any Italian cookbook, the recipe would most likely be translated as “ricotta and grain pie.” But if there is one thing I’ve learned about Italian cooking, it’s that these names vary from family to family. In my long- time, dear friend’s family, “pastiera” meant something completely different. … Continue reading
Happy Memorial Day! With all the festivities that surround Memorial Day, it sometimes requires a moment to stop and think about the real reason for this holiday.

While looking through my mother’s folder of torn and stained recipes (a habit that I just love), I came across a neatly typed recipe for “Congo Squares.” I could tell this was a very old recipe, and I vaguely remembered the name. As I read through the ingredients, I started to recollect the taste, which … Continue reading
Happy December! The Christmases just keep coming faster and faster every year.…or at least that’s how it feels to me. I feel like I just put away all the Christmas ornaments! But here we are again. It really is such a wonderful time of year. I love the hustle and bustle and all the festivities … Continue reading
In contrast to my opening statement in my last post (DiGirolamo Cookies), this is absolutely not the “cookie of my childhood.” As a matter of fact, my grandmother, Little Nonni, might be looking down from heaven and wondering how I could possibly even call this a cookie (biscotto). “There’s no sugar, flour or eggs so how … Continue reading
This is the cookie of my childhood. In no time at all, my grandmother (Little Nonni) or my mother would mix up the dough (by hand, of course), roll it out to desired thickness, and we’d all chip in to cut them into very irregular shapes. As a child, it was a lot of fun … Continue reading
