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 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
Make it and they will come………… Family… friendship….food…traditions…recipes…..and health of course: these are some of the blessings in life. At least that’s true for me. There is a true joy that comes from digging into our pasts and sharing our heritage, especially through food. At this time of year, the Lenten season for Catholics, many of us recall the … Continue reading
from Soup Suppers by Arthur Schwartz One of my favorite “food personalities” is Arthur Schwartz, known to many as “The Food Maven.” You need to be of a certain age to even know who I’m talking about as his career has spanned over 40 years. I first became enamored with Arthur during his 12 years on WOR … Continue reading

So when a friend told me I had to try this recipe, I was eager to oblige. However, when she told me the ingredients, and that it … Continue reading
Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking After posting a recipe from Stanley Tucci’s cookbook, my mind naturally went to Julia Child, where he played her husband in the 2009 film, “Julie and Julia.” I love this movie for the cast, humor and plot. Afterall, Julie is a blogger, who takes on the task of cooking … Continue reading
Try as I might to refrain, I’m often tempted to purchase a new cookbook (or two) if I find myself intrigued by an author, or concept, or just about anything that will push me into the “I’ve got to have it” mode. This time it was Stanley Tucci’s travel/culinary series on CNN, entitled “Searching for Italy,” that … Continue reading
In my last post we looked at my mother’s first cookbook, from 1959, and now we’ll jump forward to 1973 and look at some of the recipes that were popular then. While I don’t plan on addressing my cookbooks chronologically in this journey back through my kitchen memories, the next cookbook I’ll share is my first cookbook .…..if you … Continue reading
I’ve taken a break from blogging, but I have missed it. I got caught up in the lethargy of the pandemic, and like many others I’ve spoken to about this, I just wasn’t interested in the things that usually I loved to do. “Languishing” is the word I’ve heard many use to describe how they’ve been feeling … Continue reading
“How much pesto can you eat?” is a question I always ask myself around this time of year. By the time it’s nearing the end of August, I’ve had pasta with pesto sauce one too many times. It’s time to freeze it, so I can enjoy it again during the winter months to perk my spirits. Then I look … Continue reading
