Celebrating Life Around The Table
I had a craving for Buffalo Wing something so I started looking around for inspiration. I saw this and then this and decided to give it a try. I made Buffalo Chicken Nachos for Two. Of course, you can upsize for a crowd with the Super Bowl this coming weekend. In my college days we [...]
What happens when you marry two food favorites? In my case you get Red Velvet Popovers. My love affair with popovers started as a child at Buffum’s department store. I was inspired by Joy’s Hot Chocolate popovers and thought why not Red Velvet? These could make someone swoon on Valentine’s Day. Hot out of the [...]
I am always happy when I see Meyer Lemons return to the store. I am a lemon fiend but these are a notch above with a sweeter flavor. I traditionally make lemon risotto with them but decided to try a new take on my favorite recipe. I diced a green chile, several cloves of garlic [...]

When you think about setting goals do you consider one’s for your family meals? Family meals can be challenging when kids are young or they have grown into sometimes sulky teenagers. Life snowballs and with all the activities going on family meals easily slips away. One meal a day as a family can radically change [...]
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were filled with special times with family and friends. By New Year’s day I am ready for healthy food. The sweets and rich food, even when you try to watch it, can get the best of you. I find my body starts craving healthy and fresh. Today, I [...]
