Over last weekend I made two of my favorite dishes when fresh ingredients are available. Ratatouille and fruit crisp! Two perfect summer foods. Made even better that the ratatouille was mostly made from fresh vegetables from our family’s garden: The Japanese eggplants were from Whole Foods. The zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers (cucumbers did not…… Continue reading ratatouille and fruit crisp
I spent the entire day (literally until 4pm) thinking that yesterday was Thursday. Can you imagine how heart broken I was when I [finally] realized that it was only Wednesday?? Two more days until the weekend. Not one. Obviously I was quite mixed up yesterday. But still, I made the best of it… Breakfast yesterday…… Continue reading Mixed Up…
Apparently today was bring a treat to work day at the office. So even though I was annoyed by how much time I spent in the kitchen on Sunday preparing all of my healthy food and packing lunch and breakfast and making dinner for the week, when I got to work I was so happy…… Continue reading Bring a Treat to Work Day

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…
Hi readers – Have you ever had one of those nights where the entire evening just gets away from you? Wow, that totally happened to me last night.

Hi All – Wow, Sunday night’s dinner was a success… but let me recap the rest of the day first. Katherine and I had a fun time watching Julia Child on pbs.org (link here to episodes on the web!) The episodes were inspiring and I can’t wait to try a few of her recipes. It…… Continue reading Sunday: Amazing Ratatouille
