After a cold and rainy couple of months up here in the Northeast summer is finally in full swing. Ever since the weather has gotten hot and humid I’ve been craving some clam chowder. It’s nothing that I’ve tried to make before, but I was intrigued. I’ve had many a delicious chowder in my day, […]
While there are many downsides to growing up as a vegetarian — the inane questions, the feelings of exclusion — there are definitely some up-sides. My colon probably isn’t going to fall out of my body, for instance. Also, I never really had to deal with school lunch. Sure, I would partake in “cheese pizza […]
I think I may have stumbled onto a great discovery in healthy beverages, my friends. After a little treadmill walk at work, I was thirsty as all get-out for something invigorating. I was really jonesing for one of the Harvest Bay coconut waters I keep in the fridge, but I also wanted another cup of […]
Each week, fabulous recipes grace Debbie’s in-box and pop up on her computer screen, and she’s sharing her favorites with you. I admit, I’ve more than satisfied my sweet tooth with some of the past installments of Recipe Roundup. Last week’s white bean cookies and the week before’s 7000 or so dessert recipes, for instance.

I am a woman of strong opinions. […]
Gourmet cooking doesn’t have to entail hours of cooking with a list of ingredients longer than your normal grocery list. Create meals bursting with complex flavors that will please every food snob in your life, easily. And less is definitely what I had. No one had been to the grocery store since we got back […]
One of my favorite dishes is fried potatoes. They can be the main course or a side dish to something else. They can be made for any meal and are always tasty and filling. You can dress them up or leave them plain depending on how you are using them. Photo Credit: Jeff Love
My wife loves buttercream frosting. By love, I mean that she would divorce me for someone who made or was made of buttercream frosting. So, when it came to whipping up some cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party it was either purchasing it from a can or making some on my own. I decided to […]
Gourmet cooking doesn’t have to entail hours of cooking with a list of ingredients longer than your normal grocery list. Create meals bursting with complex flavors that will please every food snob in your life, easily. All my years of getting multitudes of chard from the CSA farm, I’ve experimented with at least 70,000 ways […]
