Blasted tech support. I spent the whole day yesterday trying to get this post onto my site. Someone asked me for a chicken tetrazzini recipe. I can’t remember who it was, SMIL perhaps? Someone else? I haven’t made this in ages, so it took me awhile to track it down. I don’t think I’ve attempted [...]

These ribs are so tender and packed with flavor that you might be tempted to drink the sauce straight from a glass. You certainly will want to add an extra ladle full to your plate. My recipe is adapted from an October 2007 issue of Bon Appetit. One of the greatest things about this recipe [...]

I’ve decide to eat cheesecake for lunch today. I made mini cheesecakes last week for my china and jeans dinner party, but didn’t manage to photograph them that night. So I’ve made more and photographed them today. Then I realized I didn’t eat them at the dinner party either, as I was entirely too full [...]

I’m genetically designed to hate lunch meat. There’s been so much discussion in my life about the qualities required for edible lunchmeat, my sister Amelia just doesn’t eat sandwiches at all any more. Some lunch meat is wet, some is to dry, anything coming prepackaged is frightening. And when Rocke’s Butcher Shop moved across the [...]

A good pot roast has seen me through the worst of times. In our family, in times of major life crisis, we turn to the purest form of love and comfort – a pot roast. Somehow the stewed chuck roast and vegetables provide a warm hug to dry up your tears and help you find [...]

When sitting at my computer last night, I had a burst of inspiration. I need fudge. With a heath bar mixed in like a Blizzard. And it has to be super deliciously chocolate. Then I realized, wait. I can make that. My family has made English toffee every Christmas for as long as I can [...]

A recent client inquired about mini key lime tarts. Last Christmas my brother-in-law requested individual tarts with assorted fruit fillings for dessert. At the time, we laughed at him, but now he’ll probably get his wish. It seems the universe wants me to learn how to create mini desserts. Still high off my mastery of [...]

Key Lime Pie is my father’s favorite dessert, so I made it for his birthday last week. I’ve been through a variety of bottled key lime juices over the years. Between being hard to come by and inconsistent, I decided to give this a go with fresh key lime juice. Key limes are those teeny [...]

Awhile back, my sisters and I dined at the Lark Creek Steak Restaurant. It happened to be Allison’s birthday, so our over enthusiastic waiter brought us each a butterscotch pudding for dessert. We all enjoyed it, and I decided to attempt a version for Thanksgiving. One of my favorite things about eating out is trying [...]

Turkey Chili is new to my repertoire this year, but it has been extremely well received by both family and guests. I like that this one serves equally well as leftovers both in taste and presentation. Plus the bonus of it being a one pan, one dish meal. Chili, like tortilla soup, seems to be [...]
