OCTOBER’S BEST BITES October was a lazy month for me in the kitchen (under the weather), so I indulged in lots of shortcuts and easy meals, including some FreshDirect specialties like their excellent grass fed beef chili and chicken tortilla soup, which I’ve posted photos of previously. The captions below describe some of October’s dishes, … Continue reading
October Recipe of the Month-Brownies Cockaigne & Tahini Brownies For many years, my go-to recipe for homemade brownies was Brownies Cockaigne from The Joy of Cooking. For me, no mix could hold a candle to that. But times change, mixes got better, and I got to a point where I just wasn’t able to spend … Continue reading
August Recipe of the Month-those darn zucchini! I am so excited to have signed up for weekly vegetables from River Road Gardens, a small organic farm very close to where I live in Montgomery. The clincher? They deliver! But then, predictably, I had way more zucchini than I anticipated, especially since summer squash is not a … Continue reading
Happy New Year everyone! December is maybe the most delicious month of the year, what with holiday meals, special dinners out, and home baked goodies. I didn’t really do any holiday baking this year, however, thanks to a bum knee (slowly improving), so I indulged in more purchased treats, including – God help me – various appetizers (I … Continue reading
How hard should it be, I had started to wonder, to pack a healthy lunch for your kids? Same for afternoon snacks – those seem to have evolved from a simple piece of fruit, or maybe celery stuffed with peanut butter and a few raisins, to something more like a restaurant-worthy prepared dish. Just how much … Continue reading
I already wrote about the lovely Grand Aioli dinner I enjoyed in early June, but here’s the rest of a month full of good food, in spite of the three weeks of it I spent taking antibiotics to stave off Lyme disease. Besides sapping your energy, antibiotics are not your tummy’s friend, so I had to be … Continue reading
If you are up on the local (or even national) news at all, you’ll know why I decided it was time to pay my first visit to The Peasant Grill in Hopewell. Call it a little show of foodie solidarity. I’d never been before, although I’d always heard good things, so now was the time to rectify that … Continue reading
As usual, I’ve been chronicling my favorite dishes of the last month, aside from the special meals I’ve already posted about. It’s hard to resist when the camera is right on the table at home, or my cell phone handy elsewhere. Although, truth be told, these days I use my cellphone, a Samsung Galaxy S4, … Continue reading
It really will be spring sometime soon, and then you’ll want to slim down for summer. If that’s you, and you are a Trader Joe’s fan, you might want to go to Barnes & Noble Princeton on March 16, when author Susan Greeley, M.S., R.D. will be signing “Cooking with Trader Joe’s Cookbook: Lighten Up!” The book is … Continue reading
This article was published in the Packet Magazine’s January issue, but it has not gone online, so I am putting it in this post. A dinner delivery (or drive-by pickup) service can be a great convenience for busy households and for anyone who can’t always get out to grocery shop, or who may have limited … Continue reading
