I confess. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie. If I’m in the mood for an orange pie, I’ll pick sweet potato every time. When I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin pie rarely makes the cut. I love pumpkin in and with pasta, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake… you […]
Trying to eat a sloppy joe in sandwich form is an exercise in futility. So, why not just pour some over home made biscuits and go at it with a knife and fork? Sloppy Joe serves at least 6 3 lbs ground beef 1 large […]
Meatloaf, red sauce, mashed potatoes and baby peas… is there a more comforting meal? And, somehow, it’s still all about the meatloaf sandwiches. Scratch Tomato Sauce 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 1/4 cup water splash of red wine vinegar 3 Tablespoons sugar 1 bay leaf 1/4- […]

There are two styles of bread pudding. There’s the creamy custardy type with chunks of identifiable bread. The other type is a dense, heavy (bordering on clunky) style that can be sliced into wedges. I enjoy both. The denser, sliceable style opens itself up to a number of sauce options. […]
Usually, I avoid any recipe included in product packaging. But, when that product is imported, I’m drawn to read every bit of the label. Once again, that inclination was rewarded with this fabulous recipe for Nero di Seppia. The meal and preparation take on an added charm when that translation […]
My beets are still growing. But, I did add two baby (golf ball sized) beets from my garden to the batch of large yellow beets I bought at the farmer’s market. Twice-cooked… well… three times if you count a quick saute with the shallots. The first time, I wrapped the […]
The first ripe figs are almost bursting after this weekend’s heavy rain. Our brown turkey fig tree is littered with green figs that will ripen any day. Today, we had about two overflowing handfuls of ripe figs.

Then, for dinner… peppers & onions with Pollo alla Cacciatora I like to plate it up with the peppers & onions on top. Then, I serve a saucer of red sauce on […] Kantola (Momordica Dioica, or Balsam Pear) Kantola (or, balsam pear) is a type of bitter gourd known by many names. Momordica dioica, balsam apple, spine gourd, konkani, kakrol, kankro, kantroli, aakakarakaya, phagla, phaagil, ban karela, bhat karola, kartola, teasel gourd and boda kakarakaya are just a few.
