What is it about Italian food? Is it the simplicity of fresh flavors we love so much? I have often wondered if basil comes in a perfume … the sweet aroma draws me in like nothing else. Garlic? Oh yes, please. Cheese, bread, wine … yes, the Italians have got it goin’ on. Then there [...]

A Bridal Shower Menu Collection and the Privilege of Friendship
When close friend’s kids are old enough to get married, it feels a lot like when your own kid’s birthday candles exceed two hands and then both hands and feet, you wonder where the years went. It is the milestones of life—showers, weddings, births, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, and many others, which remind us of the [...]
Lazy Mary’s Lemon Tart [Gluten-Free]: Food52 Cookbook Review & Giveaway
Our third and final recipe from The Food52 Cookbook review was a sweet surprise considering there is and entire lemon in the mix. Yes, that’s right, no zesting or juicing required—remove the seeds, trim the ends, and you are ready to go. Lemon lovers that we are, we used regular lemon in place of the [...]
Minestrone Soup with Blue Cheese-Parmesan Meatballs
Sunday is our day to rest, which includes a rest from cooking, so dinners throughout the week have to carry us through the weekend.

Turkey Pot Pie with Gluten Free Pie Crust
Over the past few months, I have experimented with a number of gluten-free recipes, especially on those nights our daughter will be home for dinner. I have had some great hits and some real misses trying to find what works and still tastes good. Cupcakes, stews and sauces, and pancakes all turned out, but pie [...]
Chicken Broccoli Casserole with Fried Onion Topping [GF]: Remaking an Old Standby
I imagine most families in America have some version of this soup-mix classic in their recipe rotation, or at least in their distant memory. Casseroles did not originate in the U.S., but the method of using canned cream soups to bind a hodgepodge of ingredients together in one vessel, is certainly on us. In the [...]
Pad Thai Recipe and Red Boat Fish Sauce
When writing about Emeril’s Wok Seared Duck Salad, I mentioned his recommendation for fish sauce with the ingredient list. Shortly after posting, Red Boat Fish Sauce asked if I would try their sauce to compare. I only recommend products I like and use, so it has taken me a couple of weeks to put it [...]
Emeril’s Turkey Club Casserole: One-Dish of Delicious
I read a plethora of magazines, cookbooks, newspaper articles, and blogs about food, so there has to be some way to keep tabs on what I hope to create in my next kitchen adventure. For cookbooks or magazines, there is always a stack of post-it notes nearby to mark pages. Emeril’s new cookbook, Sizzling Skillets [...]

Part of the fun of the One-Pot Blogger Party hosted by The Secret Ingredient is sharing a few recipes so we all get a taste of what’s inside this versatile cookbook. Here in Colorado, crisp fall [...]

Labor Day became a federal holiday 117 years ago, marked by parades and parties recognizing trade and labor organizations. Today, families enjoy one last vacation before school starts, NFL and college football seasons begin, and backyard parties abound.
