When I tell you that, if forced, I had to pick one and only one recipe to share with you that this — my mother’s peasant bread — would be it, I am serious. I would almost in fact be OK ending the blog after this very post, retiring altogether from the wonderful world of food blogging, resting assured that you all had this knowledge a ...

FIRST ... The best way to approach this cake is with three layers ...

Hi there! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope your week is off to a good start. Mine is alright so far. I can tell it’s going to be a long week though. Yesterday took forever to go by. The weather doesn’t help matters any. It’s been cold and rainy outside. I didn’t realize it was supposed to rain today so that made my commute into work kind of ...

Hi there! Happy Wednesday! I can hardly believe that it’s Wednesday already. I guess being off on Friday and on Monday make the week go by so quickly. I was literally swamped with work yesterday.

My whole family loves Cucumber Onion Salad. It was a staple on my husband's grandmother's Sunday dinner table. A visit to Grandma's always included a big bowl of cucumber and onion salad on the table. And the cucumbers and onion were usually straight out of Grandpa's garden. Grandma didn't really have a recipe for this salad. But, I helped her ...

So, I thought I'd give a brief update on my Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day escapades. This batch is my third, and I experimented with using nearly 50-percent whole-wheat flour. The dough rose just as beautifully as the 100-percent all-purpose flour batches, and held up just the same in the fridge during the week in which it was stored.

Since it's almost St. Patty's Day, I have a short, relevant, personal story to share with you. Most of my family probably doesn't realize this, but I went through a good bit of my life -- up until about my mid-twenties --thinking that we were part Irish. When St. Patty's Day would roll around, I'd smile (yes, Irish eyes are always smiling ;) ) an ...

What a day. I’m wearing real jeans for the first time in over a year (and not jeggings because they’re the only things that don’t cut off oxygen to my brain), I had a slight oven mishap, and I churned out a fabulous meal that would make my Italian relatives on Isola del Liri proud.
Ridiculous things I have done in a kitchen:

Today, I'm sharing a recipe for Maple Walnut Fudge. This month's Sugar High Friday theme is Mmm Canada. You can find more participants at The Domestic Goddess and The Cardamom Addict.
When I saw this month's theme, I was immediately transported back to the 1980's. I've never been to Canada; but as a young girl, I spent wonderful summers wi ...
