Quiche Lorraine with Caramelized Onions IS for Real Men!

Quiche Lorraine with Caramelized Onions April 18, 2011

I was 28 when I moved to Raleigh, NC from a suburb of St. Louis, MO. I had been married for just a couple of years when my husband was offered a management job with a telecommunications company and I was excited about the move. It was going to be hard to leave my young [...]

Easy Cinnamon Buns…Really!

Easy Cinnamon Rolls March 22, 2011

My friend Ken at Hungry Rabbit just posted this recipe a couple of days ago. One of those mornings when I was struggling with a breakfast decision. Should it be toast or Cheerios; yogurt or an English muffin. Ken…why must you tease me like that?? But the truth is, I had in mind making a [...]

‘Irish Coffee’ Cake and a Great Cause for Children – St. Baldrick’s Foundation

Irish Coffee Cake with Irish Whiskey and Espresso March 8, 2011

St Patrick’s Day will be here soon and I’ve got enough Irish in me to start thinking about a celebration. Not a big party but an opportunity to pay homage to a part of my ancestry (My Dad’s parents were German and Swiss; my Mom’s English and Irish). I’ll usually make corned beef for dinner, [...]

German Pancake or Dutch Baby March 7, 2011

First, let me thank Rachael, @fujimama, for asking me to do this post during Pancake Week for her readers on Babble. Until this past week I had no idea there was an entire week devoted to pancake love but I’ve got the love so am more than willing to celebrate! I’ve known Rachael for almost [...]

Omelet with Chobani Honey Yogurt, Pomegranate Arils and Blackberries

Omelet with Chobani Honey Yogurt, Pomegranate Arils and Blackberries January 18, 2011

I’m sure I’m not alone in this; the notion that I am constantly surrounded by food but the reality being anything but. I now cook for one and that often means I will eat the same thing several times during the course of the week, so I have to be careful about not making so [...]

The last day of the year, 2010. It’s been one heck of a year. For me, too much of it spent rehabilitating from the most serious injury I’ve ever had but thankful that it’s getting better, that my family is healthy and that I’ve been able to stay in touch with the ‘outside’ world through [...]

Breakfast, Day 2: Warm and Nutty Quinoa from 101Cookbooks.com Although the word cleanse can leave most of us lacking (or even frightened!) in terms of being excited about the possibility, when I saw Bon Appetit tweet yesterday (@bonappetitmag) about a food lovers cleanse, I was intrigued enough to at least click the link and check [...]

Raisin Walnut Bread

Rum Raisin Nut Bread December 20, 2010

A simple but satisfying bread with raisins and toasted walnuts that is an old family recipe. I already make Pecan Butter Ball cookies every year for the holidays and I attribute that recipe to my Grandmother Bathe. They are a favorite of mine and I recall fondly helping her as a girl and making them [...]

Blueberry and Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

Blueberry and Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast December 7, 2010

This recipe is from a cookbook called ‘Colorado Collage’ which is one of a series of cookbooks put out by the Junior League of Denver. I bought their first cookbook, ‘Colorado Cache’ which was spiral bound, when I moved to Denver 25 years ago. I had to replace it years ago as that spiral bound [...]
