Here is the most traditional Christmas cookie from my childhood: the chocolate macaroon. I experimented a bit with this recipe because I did not want to have to rig up a double boiler to melt the ingredients as the family recipe requires. I didn’t have the time or the patience. So I went to the [...]

Easy and divine

If you haven’t heard about or tried oreo truffles yet you may live in a cave. Have no fear, it’s safe to come out and try them, just be aware you may become addicted. And if you make them for your family, friends, coworkers, be prepared for some very positive feedback. These [...]
Everybody’s doing it…

Making Christmas goodies, it has consumed a lot of my time in the recent week (as I’m sure it has for many others!) For my co-workers I wanted to give something sweet as well as something that the diabetics could eat (half my office is diabetic!) I mixed up some chex mix (just [...]
The incredible egg
Posted in breakfast on December 17, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I didn’t eat eggs growing up, in fact the first time I remember having eggs in any form was when I was 15 and staying at a ski lodge where amazing breakfasts were served up every morning. The omelets looked so good I just had to try it. When I was a baby [...]

With an ice storm brewing I figured it was a good weekend for some classic comfort food. I had two ingredients in my kitchen I was anxious to use. 1: the chicken legs I bought a couple of months ago that were still sitting in the freezer and 2: the gorgonzola cheese I got for [...]
Tasty Tostizzas

We live across the street from a Half Price Books. It’s a dangerous place to live. I feel drawn to the store, pulled in by the cookbook section, where I can peruse hundreds of cookbooks at discounted prices. A few months ago I purchased a copy of Pillsbury Best of the Bakeoff cookbook. I brought [...]
Goat Cheese, our new favorite
Posted in Cooking Light, chicken on December 3, 2007 | 2 Comments »
We had goat cheese for the first time about a month ago on a pizza at Spin! We were instantly addicted! So I bought some at the store this week and we used it on our pizza (see below) and had some leftover so I wanted to try a new recipe with it. I’d heard [...]
