I’ll consider my post on Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Potatoes as my Recipe of the Month for September. Seems like several readers have made it, and it’s one of those recipes you can “make your own” in various ways. And, for some of the other good dishes I enjoyed in September (in spite of a … Continue reading
I didn’t cook so much in March for some reason, so relied on Lucy’s and Trader Joe’s to fill in the gaps at home. Sometimes I’d just buy vegetables to go with soups and purchased entrées, and that works well, too, such as adding kale to vegetarian split pea soup from Lucy’s, below. (Those fried sweet … Continue reading
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
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
As you’ll see below, my love affair with grilled cheese and Lucy’s chicken pot pie and clam sauce continues. But I also roasted some spareribs, made braised beans with escarole, discovered TJ’s pumpkin cream cheese (the only pumpkin anything I’ve indulged in so far), and tried the very good Café Spice Indian entrées at McCaffrey’s. The chicken … 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
I’ve been so busy that I am just throwing up these photos from May’s culinary adventures. They’re a combination of eating out and at home, and I’ve just briefly captioned them. Hope your spring’s full of delicious bites!
In spite of December’s surfeit of traditional holiday foods, I still managed to get in a variety of other dishes, including some ethnic finds. The month started with a very good oyster po’boy at ONE 53 for lunch one day when my nephew brought down my months old grand-nephew Sammy for a visit. I ordered several … Continue reading
I had an eventful November, including a very nice Thanksgiving dinner with family at the new Seasons 52 at MarketFair. My “official” review of this new hotspot comes out in a few weeks, I’ve been three times now (counting an early media dinner), and have yet to be disappointed. Others apparently agree, the place was packed … Continue reading
Lately, I just can’t resist making fruit crisps. Galettes – so freeform, so easy – got me through summer, but now I want lots of crunchy goodness on top of my fruit, so crisps it is. One of my earliest posts on this blog was titled “I say crisp; you say crumble,” but one thing I … Continue reading
