Going Nuts

Actually, I’m not all that bad. I feel quite great really. For the first few days on the other hand, I was hungry. All. Of. The Time. I’m getting over it, but when it’s already tough to figure out what to eat, snacking is even worse.  When I stopped to consider what I’d usually...

Palak Paneer Phyllo Triangles

Perfect for using up left overs on just on their own, these little triangles make a great appetizer or side for a soup. It took me a while to dig into Palak Paneer, the Indian creamed spinach with homemade cheese. It wasn’t until a friend of mine returned from an extended stay in India and reintroduced...

Low Fat Granola

I wouldn’t go so far as to label myself a hippie or anything. Although I do enjoy a good amount of Canned Heat, I’m just not old enough. What I could call myself is frugal. I grew up with granola in the house but it was “Dad’s Cereal”. Which is, of course, why it was so...

Surpisingly Easy Hors D’oeuvres That Don’t Involve Opening a Chip Bag.

I don’t know about you, but I typically go one of two ways when I’m on hors D’oeuvres duty; Chips and dip or stress with what will impress. I like entertaining and I quite like the reputation that guests don’t need to eat before a gathering at my place. Lately I’ve found...

Latkes With Pomegranate Quince Chutney

I love latkes. It’s almost bad, how much I like latkes. A holiday tradition usually brings sharing and that might be my biggest problem. To date the best solution I’ve had is to make them smaller so I have more. That way it takes me a little longer to eat them and gives others a chance to...

Chocolate Chestnut Biscotti with Candied Clementine

Not that I’m the authority but I think that it’s safe to say that Holiday baking is may “officially” begin, now that it’s actually December. Be it that we took our kids to the community Santa Claus parade or that was today was the first of December, Holidays get me to hum...

Ghoulish Goodies

Before leaving for vacation, my daughter was very concerned about the notion of being away for Halloween. Never one to pass on a party myself, we decided to throw a little pre-dinner soirée for our little fairly princess and her guests. With thirteen members of the 4 and 5 year old set, I knew I’d...

Apple Lollipops

You know, the apples with sticks, or at least this is how candy apples are commonly known around my house. We can’t get through October without bobbing one of our fresh apples from the orchard in molten sugar. So quick and fun, this autumn carnival snack is a must do, especially if you have kids...
