Alright. I’m just going to put this out there: This stuffed zucchini recipe is so good it almost made me convert to Judaism. I was all set to talk to a Rabbi, but then I was told that this recipe had nothing at all to do with Judaism. It turns out my friend Elizabeth (who […]
When I was a kid, lo those many scores ago, schools were never built around retail and food outlets. They were on hills. Steep hills. Hills that you had to climb upwards, both ways, without shoes, during daily blizzards, while hauling a sack of coal on your back (since you worked in the mines before […]
In my house, everyone has different tastes. I have a daughter who apparently is going through some kind of love affair with broccoli — fine by me! My husband is the carnivore, and I pretty much just want something decently healthy that tastes awesome — meat optional. It gets difficult trying to make something different […]
Bob Degon‘s got me thinking about foods that go well together. He’s come up with a great idea for a new feature — Perfect Pairs — and he’s already made me salivate with his first entry, the spectacular combination of pomegranate and chocolate.

You’re probably thinking I’m pretty full of myself, making a claim like that. Well sure, it’s probably not for everyone, but if vegetable soup is your thing, you should try it my way at least once. And yes, that is alphabet pasta in my soup. I have a three year old. Do I really need […]
I’m having another one of those weeks. You know, the ones where you don’t actually plan anything for dinner, but instead decide around 5:00 that you’ll whip up something amazing while your kid plays the Wubbzy game on PBS Kids‘ website. Amazing quickly becomes palatable, and you thank your lucky stars that you had the […]
News flash! Or, maybe not. We’ve known for years that the use of high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener has led to increased obesity and heart disease across all age ranges.
