Several years ago, this simple recipe for potato bread was my introduction to baking bread from scratch. And, I have to say, it’s still a real winner. Potato Bread […]
This isn’t my favorite brand of tomatoes. Personally, I’d never use it for a marinara. But, it makes a perfectly acceptable base sauce. It has the added bonus of being easy to find. Wander into just about any Costco, you’ll almost always find a pallet full of these 6 lb […]

Sometimes, you just need a beer. I love cooking with Rogue Brewery beer. The flavors are so rich and complex, one bottle goes a long way. There are many amber ales out there that would make acceptable substitutes. But, I doubt you’ll find one that makes a better […]
Warm pasta salads make a quick and easy weekday meal for lunch or dinner. Fresh peas and basil add a perfect bite of fresh green. And, leftovers are equally good the second day… warm or cold. Since this is going to dress a very large bowl of pasta, […] |
