Father’s Day

June 27, 2009

Our arms filled with Bagliani’s Market bags, Kevin and I struggled through the front door, randomly threw the food into the fridge and headed back out to the car and onwards to my in-laws for Father’s Day dinner. Arriving at their house, we are greeted with the savory smell of simmering tomato sauce. My mother-in-law [...]

Roadside BBQ

June 27, 2009

20 minutes into the super-secret back way down to Cape May, I had to go to the bathroom. My husband Kevin, used to this request, immediately looked for a place to pull over. Scouting the area, we noticed a roadside bbq joint and knew that would be our dinner. Brother Bear’s BBQ is a lip-smacking, [...]

Sugar free ice cream goodness

June 18, 2009

I’m beginning to think I’m a food procrastinator. Instead of making my bubby’s oat cookies, I found a fantastic recipe for sugar free chocolate ice cream: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2007/08/sugarfree_choco.html Thanks to David Lebovitz, I was able to satisfy my insulin-resistant sugar craving with an agave-sweetened ice cream that was delicious.

June 17, 2009

This would give me an opportunity to experiment with both cooking and using my new camera. The tofu was cubed and simmered in milk, red thai curry [...]

Baking with Bubby

June 9, 2009

While I’m waiting for my new camera to arrive, I’ve decided to use the time to sort through my Bubby’s recipes. I inherited her recipe box years ago but never really did anything with it. My goal is to cook/bake at least one of her recipes each month, the first of which will be either [...]

Will write for food

June 4, 2009

I am addicted to cake. Okay, to be honest, not just cake. Cookies. Sweet potato pie. Sushi. Bi-bim-bap. Burgers. Spare-ribs. Challah. Fried chicken. Chicken korma. Mo mo soup. Soba noodles. And the list goes on and on and on. Everything tastes delicious. Everything. I’m a great eater. I’m the kind of eater that you want [...]
