These Creamy Mashed Cauliflower and Potatoes are really good – I mean it. I’ve served it multiple times to my kids and no one has uttered a word except to say that these are REALLY good! Recently, I served these mashed cauliflower and potatoes with some Barbecue Chicken Meatballs (and steamed Broccoli with Toasted Garlic [...]

Fried rice is such a common dish in our household that I wouldn’t even think to post a recipe for it on my blog, except for the fact that it’s so good and one of those dishes that everyone should learn how to make. Fried rice is the perfect way to use up all those [...]

I love roasting vegetables for their simplicity and versatility. Almost any vegetable can be roasted, although cauliflower is probably my favorite because roasting turns this otherwise strong smelling vegetable sweet and almost addictive. In fact, this simple method of preparing cauliflower transformed my oldest son into a cauliflower lover. As a cruciferous vegetable (in the [...]

One of the things I look forward to most at the farmer’s market are fresh tomatoes. With 30 degree weather still in the air (and a few snow flakes here and there), it’s hard to believe it’s actually Spring, and although there is already an abundance of asparagus in the stores, I’ll have to wait [...]

What do you do when it’s snowing out? I know what I do…cook. At least that’s what I did on a recent snowy day when the kids were off from school. I dug through my cabinets and refrigerator to see what needed to be used up, and found a bunch of goodies, including a wedge [...]

After the flurry of our Christmas Eve Open House, celebrating the holiday season with family and friends, and some much needed downtime in warmer weather, I am trying to get back into some sort of routine. I’ve been laying low since the New Year, reflecting on the year that just passed, and the year ahead [...]

The weekend right before before Hurricane Sandy hit, my husband and I took a trip up to Mohegan Sun with two other couples to celebrate a few big birthdays (ahem, me included), and a big anniversary (my hubby and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary!). Meatloaf was playing (now I’m really showing my age) and [...]

The last few weeks, I’ve been getting radishes in my CSA Box. I have to say I’m not a huge fan of radishes, and don’t usually do anything with them other than eat them in salads or as a snack. However, I spotted some radish kimchi at one of the stands at our local farmer’s [...]

When life gets busy, my crockpot comes out of the closet a lot more. In fact, it stays out on my kitchen counter for weeks at a time during the school year. Not only is it perfect for slow cooking soups, chilies and stews, but it is also great for baking potatoes. I’ve been baking [...]
