I have a bit of guilt this Holiday Season for not posting any recipes for cookies, sweets or family traditional dishes. But heck, I’ve decided to post the most important recipe to me. Yes, it’s an alcoholic drink, And yes, I need this to get through it all. After a day of shopping, a Manhattan … Continue reading
Last week, the food world was all a buzz about the death of Maida Heatter, cookbook writer and “queen of cake.” She was 102 years old. I was intrigued by her obituary, and her notoriety in the world of baking. I am embarrassed to say that I had never heard of her. I’d never heard … Continue reading

Still no kitchen! So what am I cooking tonight? Vodka Cucumber Smash. There’s not much back story to this recipe, and frankly, at this point, who needs a story??!! I need my kitchen back.

Since we’re on the topic of delicious sweet peppers (last week’s blog), I simply had to blog my favorite sandwich of all-time. I don’t even know where to start with this “love of my life” sandwich. It all began when I was a young girl, maybe eight years old or so. In the summer, my … Continue reading
Eggs in Gravy, as we used to call it, was a usual Friday night meatless meal in our family growing up, especially during Lenten season. I believe it is now commonly referred to as Eggs in Purgatory. That definitely sounds more religious. I forget about this dish all year long, but as soon as Lent begins, … Continue reading
As mentioned in my last post, this Baked Rice and Mozzarella Pie recipe was the side dish that always accompanied chicken or veal parmigiana (see last week’s post) in my family growing up. It might seem like too much cheese or too much sauce to you for one meal, but believe me, it works. That being … Continue reading
