Recipe of the Month-Lamb Riblets (okay, last month). I am finding it so hard to write about food with all of the worrisome things going on in the U.S. lately. But I persevere because, hey, a girl’s gotta eat, and keep up her strength (ha) for the revolution! So, here’s what I made for a … Continue reading

Recipe of the Month – Tartiflette
Recipe of the Month – Tartiflette I read about this dish, which was new to me, in a memoir by a transplanted American living in France. (Samantha Vérant’s book, How To Make a French Family, is coming out in April.) Rather than try to save the recipe in the eBook, I clipped two other recipes from the … Continue reading
Recipe Of the Month – Pan-Fried Camembert Sandwich
Bet you thought this month’s special recipe would be that gorgeous rib roast of beef I made right before Christmas. But instead I’m going with this Pan-Fried Camembert Sandwich from the BBC, such a simple little thing, but with a big payoff in luxurious flavor. (Click here for the recipe.) I always have some type of cranberry sauce around (though you … Continue reading
November is the cruelest month
November is the cruelest month Yes, I know the cruelest month is supposed to be April, but for me it’s November, the month of the time change that plunges us into early darkness. That really cramps my style since I’m not a morning person and not fond of going out when it’s already dark, especially … Continue reading
August Recipe of the Month-those darn zucchini!
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
July Recipe of the Month – Chicken baked on stale bread (yes, really!)
Gee, I just realized I never did post a June Recipe of the Month, but I think in my mind, that was the Butterscotch-Pecan Scone recipe I included with my post on Finlandia butter. So, let’s mosey right along to this month, this hot, hot month. Frankly, except for a couple quick grocery store trips, I’ve been ordering … Continue reading
Finlandia for National Dairy Month
Life is short. Eat good butter. I didn’t even know it was National Dairy Month until someone from Finlandia (the dairy company, not the vodka!) contacted me asking if I’d be interested in some complimentary butter and cheese to try out. (As my father used to joke, “Is the Pope Catholic?) I do know how lucky I am … Continue reading
May Recipe Of The Month-Baked Fish
Yes, I know grilling season is upon us, but since I’m an apartment dweller, I am in the habit of baking fish, which seems simpler than pan-frying although I love that too. I have two preferred methods for the baking and I like them equally: First is to generously coat the fish in spices (try … Continue reading
March Recipe Of The Month-Sour Cream Cardamom Cherry Cake
This all started because I had some pricey “European Style” sour cream from the Whole Earth Center to use up. It was just too good to waste. So I googled, and found a recipe on food52.com for Sour Cream Cardamom Pear Cake. As I started making the recipe, I noticed my butter and sugar were … Continue reading
February Recipe of the Month – Shepherd’s Pie With Lamb
I posted about this on Facebook last week, but I wanted to expand on it because it was so delicious, especially for such an impromptu creation, and one that used up some leftovers. I had shepherd’s pie in mind when I took some Double Brook Farm ground lamb out of the freezer that morning, but wasn’t sure if … Continue reading
