Good evening, blog readers. Tonight I was inspired by Julia. Julia Child, that is (of course!!!) and I have to thank my blog reader and friend, Marilyn because she gave me Julia’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking several years ago. It is (obviously) one of my favorite cookbooks. I have been craving mushrooms lately.…… Continue reading Inspired by Julia
So it has been a while since my last blog post! Last week was downright crazy at work – and I spent the weekend cooking fresh vegetables and recovering from my long week. On Saturday I went to the Farmer’s Market on the East Side of Providence – a great time to go, there was…… Continue reading Fresh Vegetables
I don’t know about you – but I have been close to melting this week. It has beensohot and humid and it feels so early in the season to be dealing with such weather… Thankfully Mark Bittman came to the rescue (as he so often does) with 12 recipes for different vichyssoise – always a…… Continue reading Bittman to the Rescue
Happy Tuesday evening, everyone! How was your day? I had another pretty good day – thank goodness for that!

My morning was off to a pretty good start when I came downstairs with all of…… Continue reading Tuesday…

On Friday after work I had to get a small coffee on my drive home because I was so tired. I got…… Continue reading How is it Monday already?
Hi there blog readers – Happy New Year! It is officially the year of the Dragon, and I hope this means good things for me because I am a double, fire dragon. 🙂 Do you know your Chinese Zodiac sign?

Winter has arrived in New England – better late than never? That would be my usual spiel… but this year I was definitely benefiting from not having a lot of snow on the ground. I have had to move a lot of my running to the treadmill in the last couple of days – I…… Continue reading Winter
The other day I was reading another cooking blog, Je Mange la Ville and I came across a recipe for Black Bean soup. The moment I read the recipe I knew I wanted to make this. It was great to be inspired again to cook. (I’ve been a slacker – the Saturday morning healthy mac…… Continue reading Black Bean Soup Recipe
