A Sucker for Babies.

Spring means babies and like the title states, I’m the sucker. I see, little, fresh veggies and new and I have to cook them up – in magnitude… I couldn’t resist, when last time at the market I spotted these miniature marvels. Love ‘em or not, these adorable eggplants were...

Super Bowl of Chili

As I sat, thinking what the ultimate food for Sunday would be, it actually took me a bit to come to the chili conclusion. Crazy, yes, I am aware of this. Coming from an advertising background, I have to honestly admit that the majority of my Superbowl viewing experience takes place during half time. Perfect...

Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Needless to say we all like soup in this house. Nothing beats a warm bowl on a cold day. Well, maybe that warm bowl with some of that fresh bread I’ve finally been able to be baking… Red peppers, to me, are one of those amazing vegetables. You see, I absolutely, without a doubt hate it’s...

Thrusting from a vacation back into the continual chill known as November in my part of the world, rejolted my need for hibernation.

Sweet Potato Ravioli

No Hot Soup For You.

Cold soup? Ew. I never would have thought to eat something like THAT. But that was before a trip to New York where I’d stood in a line, a long line; could you even imagine, in New York? However, I was prepared, I had my money ready, but I still couldn’t decide. I was at Al’s Soup Kitchen...

Spaghettini Rustica

I was beginning to feel a little sympathy for all those wonderful tomatoes I’ve been snagging the spotlight from. Over this past week, I’d been a smidge focussed on my overflowing basket of fuzzy peaches. While I cooked and created away, this star of a tomato stared me down from the windowsill....

Zucchini Pesto Provinciale

What’s lightening quick, goes with just about anything and uses up even more of the overflow of zucchini? The title gave it away, didn’t it? Looking for dinner inspiration, I gazed over my garden. I grew some of my own stuff this year, but now my garden is getting that late August hue of...
