New England Style Oyster Stew

Favorite soup… ever.

Period.

End of story.

Just one taste, it will be your favorite, too.

New England Style Oyster Stew serves 4-6 generously

4 tablespoons butter 1 onion, finely minced 1 clove garlic 1 large stalk celery, finely minced […]

Honey Syrup

Honey syrup…

It’s not just for cocktails. You could use this to sweeten tea. Drizzle it over a buttered biscuit or bowl of oatmeal. I like it over a small bowl of yogurt topped with granola clusters and nuts. And, I’ll be testing it out in several recipes […]

Monkey Butter

This was love at first taste. To be brief, this is tropical jam perfection. I love coconut. So, I’ve added a lot of shredded coconut to my jam. But, feel free to add coconut to your own taste.

Make this NOW! You won’t be sorry.

Psst… […]

Peanut Banana Oat Dog Treats

Can you eat them too? Sure. But, they’re more than a little bit on the bland side.

Our dog is a spoiled little monster. She’s not a fan of any dog food. Left to her own devices, she’d choose to starve to death rather than […]

Peanut Banana Butter

This great little spread does it all. It can be a snack, a meal or a sweet. Just vary your portion to fit your hunger level. It’s great straight off the spoon, too. For a healthier treat, omit the sugar and add 1 tablespoon of honey (or no honey at […]

Raspberry & Cranberry Jam

It’s almost spring. That means it’s time to start cleaning out the freezer. As usual, there was a leftover bag of cranberries and a couple bags of frozen raspberries (I love a raspberry and mixed berry smoothies.) So, I tried combining the two. It’s a winning combination. From start to […]

Rum Runner Pimento Cheese Spread

Two types of gouda and Bellavitano Rum Runner Sartori (about $17 a lb at Whole Foods) make this version of pimento cheese a little bit on the spendy. But, isn’t that always the way? The quality of the ingredients make the dish what it should be.

A sprinkle of Aleppo […]

Sugar Plum Jam

Sugar Plums

Sometimes called Italian plums, or Damson, or Empress (though I believe there are differences between Damsons and Empress plums), they’re also called prune plums.

Sugar Plums, Sliced

Add sugar and freshly ground cinnamon.

Peach Jam

These peaches were so super ripe that I didn’t even bother to remove the skins. After the 10-15 minute boil, the skins almost melted away completely. And, the tiny bits of skin that remained were fine in the finished product.

Peach Jam makes 1 large jar
