Food, Travel, and Cooking!
August for us is “zucchini/tomatoes” 24/7! Tomatoes and zucchini prepared in as many guises as we can come up with! Lucky for us that besides the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes that I grow each year, there’s a guy that I refer to as the “Tomato Whisperer.” He grows outstanding tomatoes on his organic farm near […]
You’d hardly know it’s zucchini season if you looked in our kitchen! Joking! I have to admit there’s a whole lot of things being made using zucchini these days! And this moist, spicy, quick to make cake is one of them. It’s great with not only coffee but we’ve had it for breakfast too! It […]
I love cornbread and I’ve a whole lot of zucchini in the garden, so when I came across this recipe in Bon Appetit, it was right up my alley. I hope it’s something that you will enjoy as much as we do. We like it for breakfast too, lightly toasted served alongside an egg and […]
Sometimes we all gripe about Facebook gremlins or having to un-friend someone for some reason or the other. Where situations arise where we are left unfortunate and unwelcome comments demanding that we delete that individual from our friends list. Sadly, this does take place. But we also have a platform at our fingertips that enables us to connect […]
Our blueberries are in season! You tell me…who doesn’t love blueberries…who doesn’t love a barbecue? This slightly spicy, slightly sweet barbecue sauce it’s delicious basted on ribs, pork chops or tenderloin, burgers, and chicken while they are cooking! Might work on salmon too! It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or […]
You bet I do…I love the stuff! And can hardly wait, each year, when locally grown lettuce is available at our farmer’s market. My husband Joe and I have had an ongoing “discussion” about the quantities of lettuce I think we should eat for years. When we got married I stepped up and said I […]
I stumbled upon this recipe by Jennifer Danter in an issue EAT MAGAZINE and thought “we like meatballs a lot and we like Indian food a whole lot”…sounds good to me. It calls for serving the meatballs with polenta…in my mind, not a great combination. I served it with basmati rice but I think it […]
A “guest article” for Oracibo…..me? I sent an email to Phyllis extolling the wonders of the Internet for finding recipes and she suggested I write an article so here goes. Do you travel? My husband and I spent a couple of months each winter renting a casita (a two bedroom condo type place) on a […]
An excellent pasta dish dressed with an asparagus sauce from Julia Della Croce’s cookbook, Umbria. I made it this last spring, it was excellent. It’s worth tracking down really fresh, locally grown asparagus. We get ours from our farmer’s market and I highly recommend doing so. The results of using the freshest you can find […]
A while back I was reading blog about making Corzetti, a pasta shape that has been made since the middle ages. Well…once I clapped eyes on those beautiful disks of pasta imprinted with designs that reminded me of ancient coins, I just knew I “needed” to find those stamps and make the pasta! Here’s the […]
