Inspired by a cocktail at STG Trattoria, we threw this together with one orange, one bottle of chinotto, and two ounces of Cynar. Super easy, super craveable. If you’re looking for something a little less bitter, substitute the Pellegrino (mildly) bitter orange soda for the chinotto.
This makes […]
Lazzaroni Amaretto is made by infusing the liqueur with Amaretti Di Saronna cookies. If you haven’t tried these, they’re lovely and almondy… and SWEET! They’re like little almond sugar bombs. The flavor is divine. But, after one or two you feel a bit like a kindergartner after a sugar binge. […]
This gorgeous bible of Latin American food was a gift to myself this Christmas. And, as a Florida baby, I’m so very happy to see this book receive all of the attention and accolades that it deserves. Calling this a bible of Latin American food is an understatement. It would […]

In another attempt to keep it interesting for the left-over hater in my house, this soup is closer to a veggie chicken soup on the first day. Then, it turns into a richer, creamy split pea soup on the second. Cooking the split green peas for an hour or so […]
There are good things and bad things about these brownies. Let’s start with the good. As far as brownies go, they have a good dose of fiber. They’re very filling. And, they taste “fine”. But… And, this is a big but. Even with a hefty dose of cocoa, there is […]
Red cabbage is one of my all-time favorite vegetables. On more than one occasion, I’ve made a meal of them. An extra generous mound of crumbled goat cheese on top easily makes this dish a meal. Or, you could add a grilled chicken breast or a portion of broiled salmon […]
We’re not soup people. We’re more likely to go for a bowl of chili or a hearty stew. But, it’s definitely time to sneak a few more soups into the supper schedule while there’s a chill in the air. Whether those sniffles were caused by a cold, flu or pollen, […]
