I first heard about this cookie from my daughter who has learned wisely about cookies from her mother. She visits New York quite often and this is a staple part of her diet – which worries the heck out of us, whenever she is there. This is – make no mistake about it, a rich [...]
Well, Easter is a couple of days away. I know, it will be a different one this year. If you have your adult kids still living at home with you – that’s a good thing (did I really say that?!). They will be able to join in the celebration. I’ve heard some are going to [...]
So here we are in week three/four of this #stayathome order and I am all in favor of it! The faster we can get rid of this virus, the faster we can get back to a new sense of normalcy. But a better one where we are nicer to those people in essential services that [...]
Plantain and apple, well why not?! You’ve seen them in all the grocery stores, they look like bananas but bigger. You’ve probably walked by them thinking "oh they look spoiled", black splotches etc. Well, the reality is, that’s what you want. That is when these plantains are at their peak of taste.

I was given this recipe to try, and boy am I glad I did! It fit in with my Pantry Staples concept. You probably have everything in here so no reason to leave home to buy anything. Flour, baking powder, water, olive oil, sugar and cocoa – or in my case I used Milo, that [...]

Yesterday was National Palindrome Day! You know, the numbers and words that are the same forwards as they are backwards - 02022020. I actually started writing this post yesterday but got distracted - happens a lot these days. In any event, it made for a nice introduction to a lovely cake recipe from the talented [...]
Okay who made pumpkin anything this Thanksgiving weekend?! Yes me too, I made a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing. Moist and delicious just like a carrot cake but with pumpkin. But this recipe isn’t about the cake (I didn’t take pictures so can’t blog about it, but it was a hit so will definitely [...]
This was an experiment – it could have gone either way, but if it went that way – you wouldn’t be reading this. Oh it was a pleasant surprise! A delightful soft cookie with flavor combinations that really aren’t that unusual when you think about it. I’m sure if you have been to Italy you [...]
Here’s a lovely cake recipe for you to make. It would be ideal to serve this after a nice dinner. It doesn’t need to be dressed with anything to be elegant. The taste is rich and a small portion (good luck with this) is more than enough. If you really want, with the addition of [...]
