On the hunt for a delicious Fall weather dinner idea? There’s not much that can make a cold and cloudy day more bearable than a warm and comforting meal. However, sometimes hearty cold-weather fare means high-calorie comfort foods. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can find ways to lighten up even the richest… Read More
This started out as an ambitious Pork Osso Buco, but I decided to switch to an easy comfort meal and make a pot roast since there were no pork butts with the bone-in left at the market. I ended up with an incredibly simple gluten free pork roast with root veggies recipe that couldn’t have… Read More
I’m recommending a Slow Food Summer. C’mon… it’s summertime and the perfect time to experiment with whole, healthy foods and new recipes, gardening and fishing (even scalloping) too! Some of us still have a few weeks left of summer, so why not go ahead and make the most of it. We tend to go for… Read More
This chicken is truly the BEST chicken recipe ever! I love making this dish for all my good friends that visit. The number one reason is because it’s so simple. I know it like the back of my hand so I can focus on THEM. The second reason it’s special is because it’s a comfort meal.… Read More
It’s time to get fired up for football season! Fall is starting and I’m in the mood for something colorful, homey and rustic.

“Them summer days, those summer days!” Hot soup in the summertime seems counterintuitive, especially in Florida. But soup can be fun and comforting when the afternoon storms kick up and you’re indoors. I love going completely pure for a few days after traveling… with LOTS of water and veggies. Salads or vegetable soup are both… Read More
Last Saturday morning on a visit to DC, I had breakfast on a terrace of a restaurant seated right under a tree. It was the third meal since we arrived… and the third was a charm! Low humidity, sunshine streaming through the enormous trees, Frank Sinatra playing in the background, and a lot of birds… Read More
It’s nice to have a few standby recipes that you know inside and out. You don’t have to wonder how long a step will take, or if certain ingredients are done enough. You can relax and hold a conversation while your hands do all the work. Meatloaf is a mainstay in my kitchen, and this… Read More
My weekend was lovely! Not because I had Thai food (twice!) from the same local spot, but because it was THE WEEKEND and I was lucky enough to spend my entire Saturday and Sunday in the sparkling Florida sunshine. The weekend ramped up when I went to dinner at M & M Thai Café—owned and… Read More
