It’s been so long since I’ve posted that I almost forgot how. The interface is different, but at this point – we are too. Nevermind, that I now have a 3 yr old who ate EVERYTHING (oysters, octopus, spinach, sand) as an infant and now loves salmon and lamb chops, and occasionally asparagus, but won’t…
As we’re in the midst of a deep freeze across most of this country, it’s nice to think that spring temperatures may be just around the corner. In Nashville, we’ve had a little snow, but forecasts are for the 60s by the weekend! Perfect grilling weather for the big game! While Groundhog Day is Saturday,…
They say you always go home. Well I didn’t, at least not exactly. As much as I would have liked to move back to South Jersey (well to the beach), that was not a realistic option work-wise. Instead, I amazingly managed to find gainful and fulfilling employment in a far different Southern town. One that…
Hello Readers! It’s been over a year (sigh) since I’ve had anything to write about and actually found the time to post. It seems that having a kid (who will be 18 months on Friday!), starting a new job, moving and commuting into NYC, make life a bit more complicated. And I did NOT want…
So much for trying to do two posts a month. Didn’t come close. But I have a good excuse. My little boy arrived early on November 3! We are very blessed this year and have so much to be thankful for this holiday. Of course, I won’t be having much time to fill you in…
It’s not as chilly in the Northeast today, but it still cools off by evening, especially since it’s getting darker earlier and earlier. And that means it’s great weather for cooking all the fall dishes you’ve missed! Since I got a new Le Creuset round braiser as a wedding gift, coq au vin seemed like the…
Over the summer we make the most of warm, long days. Weekends are packed with beach trips, camping, and BBQs. We take vacations and rarely spend a moment simply relaxing. Then fall hits. We’re happy to stroll around the neighborhood, go apple picking, or just sit on the couch and watch football. And then we…
While I can’t say that I was born with a wooden spoon in my hand, I definitely had a passion for cooking and food from an early age. That’s thanks mainly to my mother and a few aunts who were/are wonderful cooks. But when I studied abroad in Venice as a junior in college (back…
When I originally posted this recipe, it was during the dog days of summer- not unlike this week’s sticky mess in the Northeast. My parents had lost power from a storm, which also meant that their air conditioner was out of commission. I decided to bring them some pulled pork because it (1) was easy…
Beaches, BBQs and booze. That’s the typical agenda for celebrating our nation’s holiday over this long weekend. But in all the hype, we often overlook that – for various reasons – not everyone gets to down several hot dogs and bottles of beer. This year my ability to eat and drink has been slightly curtailed.…
