Here’s a little week-night dinner I created this past summer! I just made my Parmesan chicken according to THESE DIRECTIONS…. (without pounding the breasts into paillard) … and then I cut them into strips, and made up a bowl of this easy, green olive tapenade for dipping. This would also make a lovely appetizer for…
Another soup recipe? Yeah, I’m on a roll now. Love this “settling in” feeling that Fall gives me. I’m gathering yarn, and quilt squares, and thick novels so I have plenty to keep me busy in front of the fireplace when I’m not writing, painting or photographing. Ahhh, this is definitely the best time of…
Still using your grill? I think autumn is a great time to grill, and I like coming up with fun menus where grilled meat or fish are the star of the show. Grilled fruits are wonderful over ice cream or bread pudding and add a rustic charm to dessert. Some people even grill their thanksgiving…

In the bowl of a food processor, combine: 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup French press coffee…

Do you marinate stuff in ziplocs? when I realized how darn easy it is to squish the marinade all over the meat, and how much less space it takes up in the fridge, I was hooked. We even marinate our spatchcock chickens in ziplocs, try it…you’ll love it 😉 place the following ingredients in a…
I was out on my morning walk a few days ago and noticed a roadside produce stand piled high with yellow and red Brandywines, Limmony’s, green zebras and Black Prince heirloom tomatoes. I slowed down as I got closer so I could admire these little gems. The owner of the stand informed me that I…
