Broccoli O’Bama Pizza

We had an impromptu Inauguration Dinner last night with some friends and their children. In preparation for our dinner, I did some research early in the day trying to find out what our new President’s favorite food might be. About all I could find was Pizza. Evidently, he’s a man of simple tastes. While campaigning [...]

The Cabin Restaurant in Freehold

If people are shying away from dining out and staying home because of the lousy economy, you wouldn’t know it at The Cabin in Freehold. When Peter and I pulled into the parking lot, I was a bit concerned. I can’t remember the last time I saw so many cars in the parking lot of [...]

Chicken, Spinach & Butternut Squash Lasagna

I know it sounds crazy, but trust me when I tell you, you have to make this one! This is one of the tastiest lasagnas you’ll ever eat and its fairly healthy. I used cottage cheese instead of Ricotta (first time for me) and went pretty conservative with the Mozzarella. I started my quest for [...]

We are spreading the word about a very important Fundraiser being held this month at the Atlantic Club in Manasquan. If you have not yet been to the Atlantic Club, it is one of the premier exercise facilities in New Jersey. Actually, calling it an exercise facility is a bit misleading. It’s more like a [...]

Sunday Leftovers = Pot Roast Enchiladas

On Saturday night, I made my very first Pot Roast. I know, I know. How could I have never made a Pot Roast before? Well, to be honest, when you’re searching for “Food with Attitude” Pot Roast just doesn’t jump to the top of the list. And, to be really honest, it probably won’t be [...]

White Bean and Italian Sausage Chili

This recipe was the winner of a chili contest that Esquire Magazine held in which they invited three of “America’s best young chefs to devise chili recipes with no restrictions.” I hope Esquire and David Bull from Dallas’ Bolla don’t mind that I monkeyed with the recipe (just a bit.)
