In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to be doing a “Breakfast in Bed” cooking class; on the menu was Chocolate Covered Cherry Cordials, Glazed Grapefruit, Sunrise Champagne Cocktail and this French Toast. My ‘adopted’ grandkids loved this, as a matter of fact they ate more than McGyver and I did! What […]

Cherry Cordials
I’m teaching a cooking class this month, the theme is “Breakfast in Bed”, obviously geared towards Valentine’s Day. The menu plan is; Stuffed French Toast, Glazed Grapefruit, Sunrise Champagne Cocktail, and Chocolate covered cherries and/or strawberries (naturally I’ll be sharing the recipes). I was sitting on the fence about chocolate covered cherries or strawberries, when […]
Southwestern Pizza Dip
I’m an insomniac. I’ve had trouble sleeping through the night off and on for the last six years. I fall asleep okay, as long as I drift off before Mr. Snoresalot. I wake up between 2:00 am and 4:00 am several nights a week. I wake up with a dog right where my feet should […]
Involtini Agli Spinaci–Venison (or Beef) Spinach Roulades
For Christmas this last year my Baby boy bought me a cookbook. Actually I’d call it an encyclopedia. It’s a behemoth, with over 2000 recipes and more than 1500 pages thick. The bible of Italian cooking“The Silver Spoon”. I have perused and perused this book. My mind swills with Tuscan dreams or the Amalfi coast, […]
Italian Guacamole
I really didn’t know what to call this concoction. It was born out of a craving for a BLT, only there wasn’t any ‘L’ in my house for a BLT. Okay, so I’ll have a BAT, no not a blood alcohol test (I’d probably fail that one). I mean Bacon, Avocado, Tomato. Are you […]
Chicken and Kale Chili–Secret Recipe Club Reveal
I am so excited for this month’s Secret Recipe Club reveal, the first one of 2013! If you haven’t heard of this great ‘secret santa’ type group, you should check out their site. Gurl, you wouldn’t believe who’s blog I got this month. That’s right it was steaknpotatoeskindagurl. Not surprisingly, the first recipes I sought […]
Deconstructed Pesto Insalata Caprese
Say what? Are my eyes really seeing what they see? Does that sign say ‘Heirloom Tomatoes’? It’s the middle of winter…must be a mistake. But they look like heirloom tomatoes. They have variegated colors and bumpy exteriors, they must be heirlooms. Imported from Mexico….ahhh, that’s right, not every place in the world right now has […]
Pistachio Semifreddo – two ways
Here I go again, non-main line posting. This time of year food blogs and sites, newspapers and magazines are filling their pages with healthier recipes. Who doesn’t want to lose weight? And the New Year is the perfect opportunity to reset, especially with all the holiday treats consumed, given away or ditched. And I’m posting […]
Candied Orange Olive Oil Cake
Today is the close of 2012 and with the New Year all the hopes and wishes of doing things a wee bit better than the previous year. Today, no reflective post, no top 10 of 2012 anything. Just wishing you all the bestest and sharing a crazy sweet lil’ post for you. Crazy good, crazy, […]
5-Minute Fudge
Not a one, not a single Christmas treat have I posted. This year my men are on these high protein low carb diets. McGyver for health reasons and the Baby boy because of Rugby (strict orders from his coach). I decided not to bake cookies or anything too tempting, gotta show my support (and I […]
