The Road to Recovery…

Today I took a big step in my road to recovery… I went to the gym! It was raining outside, so I knew I could not go for my walk outside. I called my gym to see if I could re-activate my gym membership which had been ‘frozen’ for the past couple of months while…… Continue reading The Road to Recovery…

Lunch

Lunch at 4…

Wow did those pancakes hold me over! I had two and a half “medium” sized pancakes. At two o’clock I went out for errands. Market and I picked up a tart pan for myself. What can I say? I think I might be making a tart or something in the near future. If anyone knows…… Continue reading Lunch at 4…

Ratatouille with Penne…

a la Jacques Pépin. I love his recipe, but I usually change it around a bit. Today I had to change it because the market I went to this afternoon did not have eggplant. Eggplant is definitely a summer item, but I saw a few at Whole Foods the other day… so I was hoping.…… Continue reading Ratatouille with Penne…

I am only three weeks recovered from surgery, and my doctors want me to spend six weeks ‘recovering’. This means I have to take it easy. For me, that…… Continue reading Leeks and Potatoes

Final Product…

Well, the final product was a hit: Everyone loved the bread pudding. It was not too sweet (when I prepped the dish, I put in a bit less than the 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar that the recipe called for). I thought the combination of the sugar and the bananas was going to make…… Continue reading Final Product…

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

I’ve had a busy morning trying out a new recipe. This afternoon is game day with my extended family, and my mom found this recipe and thought she would make it to bring to game day. But then she got busy, and asked me to make it. It was a fun and rather easy recipe.…… Continue reading Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

Leftovers…

Hi All: I ate all of the leftovers from last night’s most amazing pasta dinner. It was amazing the next day, too. I think over night the pasta and all of the vegetables (oh – and the bacon!) really have a time to meld together. Everything was totally infused and when I heated everything up…… Continue reading Leftovers…
