Blueberry Cobbler with Polenta Topping

June 30, 2010

Summer has rolled into Chicago and it’s everything it was promised to be.  I will admit I approached the June with a heavy dose of skepticism, but Chicagoans’ adoration of the season is pretty infectious.  I’ve been enjoying outdoor festivals, working on my tan (or mostly sunburn) while taking Oliver to the dog beach, and [...]

Rhubarb Chutney and Blue Cheese Toasts

June 8, 2010

The first time you try something there is often a learning curve to overcome.  Occasionally you get lucky and things come easily (as was the case the first time I tempered chocolate) but most of the time there are a lot of lessons to be learned.  They’re the kind of lessons that are rarely anticipated but feel [...]

Almost My Father’s Pasta Salad

June 4, 2010

Temperatures have been hovering in the 70′s and 80′s for the past few days in Chicago so I think it is safe to say that barbeque and cookout weather is upon us.  Even though I’ve never been a confident griller, I look forward to these warm weather get togethers.  I love spending the afternoon in [...]

Caramel Apple Ice Cream & Happy News

October 27, 2009

Not only is fall one of my favorite seasons, Halloween is also a favorite holiday. Growing up October 31 was always a big deal in my family’s house. When I was in elementary school my parents began the tradition of throwing Halloween parties for my sister and me as well as our friends. The highlight [...]

Homemade Canned Apple Pie Filling

October 12, 2009

Brrr. It’s starting to feel like October in Boston. It was in the 40′s when I woke up this morning and when the alarm went off it took all the willpower I had not to roll over and hide under the duvet. On fall weekends I love sleeping in on mornings like this, but on [...]

Even better, Nature’s Pride is offering sponsorships for six bloggers to attend the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in San Francisco this November. To enter, bloggers must create an original recipe using [...]
