Twas the night before Christmas, and my husband and I were enjoying the glorious peace and quiet of a holiday alone. I made a lovely Italian-themed dinner, but before that, we had our own cocktail party. On the menu, roasted olives and fennel, blue cheese cookies (cut in the shape of stars, to be festive), [...]

Parsnip Chips

In the November 2010 Food & Wine, the magazine claims that vegetables are the next big thing. Now, I love my Food & Wine, but seriously, how desperate were they when they came up with that line? In any event, in promoting vegetables as the next big thing, they had a recipe for parsnip [...]

I got some really lovely chicken from Marin Sun Farms and really wanted to make a delicious, summery meal to go with it. I left the chicken simple, just with a bit of rosemary sea salt rubbed on it, and my husband threw it on the grill. With it, a big bowl of pickled tomatoes [...]

I made this ages ago for a party but have had a busy few weeks and no time to post. Better late than never, I guess! I was inspired by an Epicurious recipe for a corn and tomato bruschetta, though I changed it up quite a bit to make it more like a salsa. It [...]

These. Cut up feta, cucumbers, and watermelon into cubes. Put on skewers. Eat. Make lots because your guests will gobble them up.
Peaches Wrapped in Prosciutto with Basil

We had a small group of friends over for drinks recently. A few old friends, a few new friends, lots of wine and Hangar One raspberry vodka. And of course, food. Dates wrapped in bacon is sort of a party stand-by of mine, but I wanted something a little more seasonal. I saw this idea on Epicurious [...]
Persimmon bread, with apologies to Mr. Beard
Posted in Fall, Winter, tagged Bread, Breakfast, Holidays, Snacks, Spices on November 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
If kindergarten teachers watched me in the kitchen, they’d probably give me a lecture about following directions. I’m not very good at it. To me, recipes are usually just suggestions or loose guidelines. So, when I found this James Beard recipe for persimmon bread, the fact that he is practically the godfather of modern American cooking [...]
Easy Stuff
Posted in Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter, tagged Beer, Bread, Snacks on November 1, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I occassionally take on some pretty nutty baking projects that leave me exhausted, so I think that my idea of what is considered “easy” might give some people a coronary. I insisted to a friend that these scones were easy, and I think she was cursing me while trying to figure out how to disperse the [...]
