Last weekend Sean and I visited our friends Carri and Ted at their fabulous little beach house on Cape May! I brought them a blackberry and blueberry crumb cake. (Will be posting that recipe soon. Perfect for brunch!) The beach house is named Pinky, and it has views of the most perfect sunset.
My friend Sara gave me a few more photos from her party. My goodness we were tired, but we had so much fun: Me with the two Nicks. Aren’t they handsome fellows?
Beets are one of those rare treats that are not only nutritious but are so tasty you’ll marvel that something so delicious can be so good for you. They can be made ahead of time and keep up to a week when refrigerated. I like to cook beets while watching an hour long procedural drama on TV.
For some reason I’m exhausted so I can’t post a recipe, but I can post some pretty photos. Prepared today: Spinach, Beet and Crispy Shallot Salad with a Marsala Wine Vinaigrette. And a Traditional Egg Salad Sandwich with Bacon (ah, bacon).
One of the saddest sights in a refrigerator is a bag full of wilted week old herbs. You might think it’s a good idea to try switching to dried herbs for recipes but there are some herbs that are too delicate […]

STORY I love cooking with Marsala wine. It’s one of those rare sweet wines, that add full-bodied taste to everything and a slight, mysterious smokey sweetness. In this recipe we don’t cook off the alcohol in the Marsala wine (so […]
A few days ago I met a friend for Happy Hour at LITM. LITM does these fantastic mini martinis for $3 that are deadly if you don’t eat something before or during the consumption. Those martinis gives new meaning to the phrase “small but mighty.” Anyway, I was quite hungry when we met, and I tried a delicious spinach and beet salad with crispy onions. I thought, it was the perfect recipe to share with others. Here is my interpretation of their recipe. Quick, vegan, but so full of mouth-watering flavor. Healthy has never tasted better.
STORY In the spring and summer when the Farmer’s markets are in full swing I always have so many fruit and vegetables I’m always devising ways to eat them. One of my most recent and favorite discoveries came from a […]
STORY I love strawberries, but it takes me forever to finish a pint, and by the end of the week, my strawberries are mush. They, bless their little red hearts, are a fruit that’s meant to be eaten quickly (or […]
