So I have mentioned that my family loves grilled or roasted chicken.  I often make a bunch at a time, way more than we need, because it is just as easy to roast or grill 12 pieces as it is 6, and there are so many possibilities for the leftovers.  I sometimes cut them up …

If you realize midway through your cinnamon loaf bake  that your family will be hungry for brunch before the bread will be done, or if you just want to make these on their own, here is a much simpler recipe for maple scones. And for those of you wondering where Noah is this week, he …

On Sundays, I like to make a big brunch and then have an early dinner.  And one of my favorite things about brunch – whether in my home or in a restaurant – is the ability to fill my plate with both sweet and savory.  I never want just one or the other, so David …

Each week I ask the girls if they have any special requests for dinner in the coming week and each time Eliza pipes up with Chicken Parm.  The restaurant where she worked in Memphis this past semester, Tambolli’s Pizza and Pasta, has a chicken parm pizza that she says will be the first thing she …

In the summer, I love to grill or saute fresh fish and top it with a yummy pineapple salsa.  It is so easy and so yummy, and the salsa really elevates the fish (good on its own, for sure) to another level of tastiness. For the fish, just get whatever is fresh. I bought mahi …

I wish I could say that I timed this dinner to coincide with Cinqo de Mayo, and made celebratory margharitas (a virgin one for me)  to accompany our festive feast, but I didn’t.  But then, I don’t need a particular day to remind me how tasty South of the Border food options are.  This is …

So, you just baked a beautiful loaf of bread, and now you need something to spread on it. Well, I can’t think of anything better than some fresh, simple jam. The joy of this recipe (which is really more of a technique) is that it is so versatile – you can honestly put any berries …

So it is no surprise to anyone who knows me that I have a huge sweet tooth.  I love dessert and I celebrate this fact with our annual dessert party, when I make a whole bunch of desserts and a whole bunch of folks come and indulge.  (If you are reading this blog and want …

I know I am not the only one to discover the joy of baking during this quarantine, but just in case you haven’t given in and caused a run on yeast at your local grocery store, let me tell you: there is nothing as satisfy as just taking a day to bake some amazing french …

Mother’s Day was a good combination of what I love about food.  I got to get my bake on in the morning, putting together a yummy brunch spread for us to enjoy.  The girls were in their jammies (actually, they were both in my jammies – harrumph) and we sat and ate and laughed. Two …
