Sage & Gorgonzola Gougères (Cheese Puffs) When I was in my early twenties, I went backpacking around Europe for six months. With all of my worldly possessions on my back (let me tell you, those clothes went in the garbage as soon as I arrived home), a Eurail pass, and a penchant for adventure, I [...]
Sweet potatoes were not my thing as I was growing up. In fact, they were not my thing until, about 12 years ago, I tasted the sweet potato fries at Docks Oyster Bar on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Docks, at that time, was located on Broadway and 91st Street – about [...] Lovely tomato pie! One of the great things about going on vacation is I get to hang out with my friends, and sometimes meet their friends, who sometimes have OMG-this-is-so-GOOD dishes that they bring over. This tomato pie recipe is a result of one of these encounters. The first time I heard of it (“tomato [...] Red Pesto Ravioli This one is for Wayne who has a real soft-spot for sun-dried tomatoes. He says to me – they are to tomatoes what espresso is to coffee. No doubt, there are many things to like about sun-dried tomatoes. I too appreciate their intensity of flavor.

I have been recently asked a lot of questions about Japanese-style cheese cakes. Incidentally I had never heard of cheese cakes before I came to Japan 33 years ago. After investigation, cheese cakes have been around the [...]
Zucchini are in season right now. Oftentimes breakfast is rushed during the week as we both leave early and don’t have time for a nicely cooked meal. I will usually make a granola and yogurt concoction which I’ve written about before during the week. Now that I have a new job which doesn’t require me to work weekends, we can get more done breakfast-wise. I prefer this as written, but Coreen prefers the bacon version that I mention [...]
I agree with Pioneer Woman; I have no idea what to call these…”thingies”. All I know is that they are so good that I might trade my first born for a platter of them. The juices of the bacon seep down into the cream cheese and are a perfect foil for [...] One of my favorite foods , kind of a “go to” meal is a burger. A burger with cheese, ketchup, pickles and a small dab of Dijon on a whole wheat bulkie roll (none of those wussie, “Hamburger Buns” for me!) and it’s heaven! Now my wanting to go vegetarian is always impeded by the lowly hamburger! I’m going to evaluate these and try to put them in my [...] My kids will drive 100 miles and buy the ingredients for this one! Yes, 100 miles! They buy! Imagine that! I should call it “Miracle Lasagna”! [...] |
