Creamy Pesto Hummus with Cut Vegetables
I have a secret. I won’t share this secret with many, as they may think me crazy. But I will share it with you. I’ve joined a cookbook book club! Each semester (season), there is a theme and three new cookbooks, supporting the theme. Yes, I purchase a new cookbook each month…..and I’m loving every … Continue reading
Vera’s Taralles
We have a long Fourth of July weekend coming up, and it looks like good barbecue weather here in the Northeast. There will be a lot of grilling and cold salads, and of course chips and dips. At our house there will also be plenty of taralles. They are the perfect snack food. If you aren’t familiar with taralles, it … Continue reading
Tomato Soup from “The New Vintage Kitchen”
On these cold winter days, who doesn’t have the memory of a piping hot bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich? This was my favorite lunch during the winter months. We walked home from school for lunch when I was in grammar school, and on the cold, blustery days, I loved walking into the house … Continue reading
Diane’s Crab Appetizer
We are just about a month into our new year’s resolutions, and I for one, am happy that I didn’t make any. Just listening to all the deprivation and fitness goals was enough for me to say, “the heck with it.” It seems to me that we are always wanting to change ourselves once a new year … Continue reading

I literally eat at least one Jersey tomato a day in some form or another. Plain with just a little salt, … Continue reading

I couldn’t find the recipe, which just about never happens. As you know, I pride myself on keeping recipes, if … Continue reading
Gigi Hadid’s Spicy Vodka Sauce
When a friend texted me this recipe with the comment, “you must make this,” I was a bit surprised. First of all, I was shocked that a supermodel like Gigi Hadid ate pasta, let alone had her own recipe for a sauce…..and this sauce uses heavy cream! I totally trust this friend when it comes to food, so … Continue reading
Doris’s January Pea Soup
Happy 2024! It’s hard to believe that the Holidays have come and gone. I’m hoping yours were wonderful. I thoroughly enjoy all the merriment that this season brings. However, the older I get, I seem to spend a good bit of time, reminiscing about all the past holidays, and the people who are no longer with us. Please don’t … Continue reading
The Chew and Mom and Stuffed Mushrooms
The Chew and Mom and Stuffed Mushrooms I’m writing this blog post on Mother’s Day 2023. I should probably be sharing another one of my mother’s wonderful recipes with you, but instead, I’m going to share a wonderful memory, and of course, a recipe that I think you’ll enjoy. On the days that I sit … Continue reading
