And continuing with the seafood theme, the next big dinner I made (when a couple of Eliza’s local friends joined us) started off with crab dip. It was a great way to keep the always ravenous college kids out of the kitchen while I was preparing the rest of the meal. I used a recipe …
I love a good chicken wing. There is just something about the combination of crispy skin, spicy sauce, and tender meat that just never fails to satisfy. And while I can always go for some classic buffalo wings or dry-rubbed barbecue wings, if crispiness is what you crave, there really is nothing like the Korean …
Due to a technological glitch (called user error by Yours Truly) the post I tried to schedule for today posted on Saturday. So if you haven’t yet seen the Fish and Chips post that inadvertently went out on Saturday, check that out for today! And if you have already seen it, then enjoy these pics …
When Eliza joined us at the beach with a few friends, I knew they were not just looking forward to relaxing by the pool and swimming in the ocean, but that they were also counting on being well fed. I made big hearty breakfasts and dinners that would hopefully serve as lunch the next day …
With 45 days to go to the election (when we hopefully jettison 45!) things are really heating up for Noah. In addition to his full-time job at Epic, he is crazy busy with politics in the various roles he holds for the Democratic party. He also has a new puppy that is keeping him plenty …

I love chicken and rice. It is my go-to comfort food and probably the meal that would be most likely to show up in our weekly rotation when the kids were growing up. And while there is nothing wrong with a basic roasted while chicken, with some carrots and onions nestling the bird and using …
I love cooking. I enjoy coming up with menus and shopping for ingredients and also seeing what I can create with what I have on hand (kind of like a home kitchen episode of Chopped). I enjoy it all -whether cooking for just the two of us or for a crowd – but I also …
Ever since I started working from home, I’ve been looking for good recipes that are easy to set up but don’t require a ton of extra attention or effort. It’s so nice to leave a dough to proof or meat to marinate while I go back up to do some work or check some emails. …
Most of my cravings are for something sweet, but recently I found myself craving… wait for it… eggplant! I love moussaka but I didn’t want something quite that heavy, although moussaka is how I convinced David that he does, in fact, like eggplant. So I went looking for something else that would stew the eggplant …
