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…

Leeks and Potatoes

I woke up today with no plan. I had nothing to do. Having nothing to do over the past few weeks is part of my routine. 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…

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…

A couple of things…

1. Last night I felt like a little caterer last night. My mom was going to a dinner party and she wanted to bring radish toasts with her. So she bought a baguette, and I got to work. I created two plates of these: Apparently they were a big hit. I would love to cook…… Continue reading A couple of things…

Most Amazing Dinner For One

Hi Readers. Let me tell you about the dinner I just had.  Yesterday I bought one of my favorite books (that I’ve written about about on the blog…) Lunch In Paris by Elizabeth Bard.  I read the book this past summer, but I knew it would be a book that I had to have in…… Continue reading Most Amazing Dinner For One

Radish toasts…

One of my favorite snacks would be radish toasts. I had a few tonight because I had the remains of a weekend baguette and radish: Can someone please explain to me why this combo is so amazing? If you have not tried it here is what you do: if your bagette is on its last…… Continue reading Radish toasts…
