This seems the right time of year to post a recipe that will help you use up all that garden produce. This recipe originated with our Aunt Evelyn who used to bring it to family picnics. I’m sure it’s not unique, since it’s just sliced veggies and a warm sweet and sour marinade. There is [...]

I took this quick picture before we devoured this cake so you won’t see any attempt at staging a shot. This is straight kitchen-counter, indoor-lighting, no-frills photography. What you can’t see is Jack sitting at the table with a fork and a glass of milk, waiting for me to “cut the damn cake already”.
I don’t [...]
Recipe: Pretty healthy and very good chocolate cake
Posted in Recipes, Uncategorized on Jan 29th, 2009
It’s been a while (a month!) since I’ve posted any recipes. I haven’t given up on cooking/baking and based upon how tight my jeans are, I haven’t made much progress in dieting either. That could be because I’m really good at rationalizing the need for cheese or potato chips or a glass of wine. Or [...]
It appears that I’m not done talking about fruitcake. In this case, it’s fruitcake biscotti, another holiday favorite in our house. This recipe is from an old issue of Eating Well magazine. It’s quick and easy and makes a lot of small biscotti.
Compared to some of the butter laden holiday treats we’ve been eating these [...]
I have a husband who likes fruitcake. Now I know fruitcakes are easy targets for ridicule. They’re heavy, rich and full of booze and last forever. While that last feature is often desirable in such things as good times and batteries, not so in most fruitcakes.
But there can be exceptions. Jack has specific ideas about [...]
You know how sometimes you think a recipe is going to be so easy you don’t think it through and just kind of wing it? And then it seems like one thing after another goes wrong or not really wrong but just not right and it turns out that there’s nothing wrong with the recipe, [...]
I found this recipe years ago courtesy of a blogger who no longer has a site. This was long enough ago that blogs were still new and she was an early adopter. I don’t remember her name or the name of her site but she was an attorney who worked for the State of New [...]
While I think you can buy many sweets that are perfectly enjoyable (cinnamon rolls, cheesecake), store bought cookies just don’t make the grade. With the exception of Oreos and Fig Newtons, there isn’t a manufactured cookie, whether from a giant conglomerate, a mall or specialty bakery that is better than a Snickerdoodle straight out of [...]
We like scones in this house. My success rate in baking scones, however, has been no more than average, edible but not memorable. I always end up adding more flour because of the stickiness of the dough. Adding more flour means more mixing which means tough flat scones. Not a recipe for success.
I was flipping through a pile of old magazines [...]
