January 22, 2012 Momofuku Corn Cookies

Seeing that it is now winter-cold and snowy, I know that it will be a while until I get to NYC, I only like to go when its warm and you can wander around for the day. So I treated myself to the momofuku cookbook, thinking that I would make some cereal milk or compost […]

December 26, 2011 Chocolate Chip Cookie Icebox Cake

For my holiday parties, I love simple-it gives you more time to hang out with your guests. I saw this great recipe in Martha Stewart’s July 2011 magazine. I was already baking up a storm for the holiday season, so this was a snap. The filling isn’t too sweet, so it is perfect dessert. Here […]

November 3, 2011 Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was on Facebook and a friend of mine told me about this site she uses, Pintrest. It is an internet pin-board/inspiration board- you join the site, download the pintrest bookmarking tool and any time you see something on the web, you can tag it and organize it by category. It would be great for […]

April 19, 2011 Giada’s stuffed peppers

I went out last month and a friend made these for a party she was throwing. Super delicious, so simple to make. She mentioned that it was one of “Giada’s” recipes. So I immediately went home to try out a batch of my own. I couldn’t find baby peppers, so mine were a little bit […]

April 10, 2011 Party!

I love having friends over to my house. I generally like to have brunch or light snacks-full meals sometimes are just too hard to coordinate. I love a nice cheese plate, shown above, with at least one soft cheese (in this case the house Brie from Wasiks Cheese Shop in Wellesley) and at least one […]

February 1, 2011 Broccoli with Cheetos

I happened to be browsing Saveur magazine and came across this recipe that I just HAD to make. It tasted like broccoli and cheddar soup-so yum! And the Cheetos added a really nice crunch to the dish, make sure to serve immediately otherwise the cheetos get soggy and that’s no fun! Start with 2 cups […]

January 5, 2011 Baked French Toast

I happened to stumble upon a great blog, Brunch in the City, while looking for a French Toast recipe. It has since moved to: brunchandthecity.com I was looking for a simple recipe to make the night ahead and just put in the oven day of. This recipe couldn’t be easier.   She made the recipe […]

January 5, 2011 Rachael Ray Cornbread and Chorizo Stuffing

I saw this recipe for cornbread chorizo stuffing on Rachael Ray (11/17/10) and decided to give it a spin. I changed it up a little bit to suit our taste. So cut up store bought corn bread muffins- I happen to like the ones from Sudbury Farms/Roche Brothers. Put them in the oven to dry […]

November 22, 2010 Pumpkin Pudding

http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/pumpkin-pudding/ I saw this recipe years ago in the Rachael Ray show. I made it, brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and it was an instant success. Some of the other guests who were there were serious bakers, and they asked for the recipe! When I first made the recipe I had never had pumpkin pie, […]

November 15, 2010 Gnocchi

I saw this recipe in the NY Times and decided to try it out. I actually had a recipe from my grandmother for ricotta gnocchi and wanted to see how the Times stood up to it. Here’s a YouTube video. Ricotta Gnocchi Are Sticky and Lumpy (and Just Right) By MARK BITTMAN Published: October 22, […]
