I have to admit something to you. I am a potato salad flunky. Yes, it’s true. I’ve only attempted to make potato salad a handful of times for good reason. My version always ends up more like mashed potatoes than anything close to traditional potato salad. Until now. In my latest edition of Cook’s Illustrated [...]
After a long weekend of barbecue, I just can’t muster up the strength to eat one more hot dog or helping of potato salad. I did, however, have a great deal of left over extra large lima beans that I had soaked for another recipe and I wanted to find a simple one pan dish [...]
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 [...]
Okay, not one of my best pictures. Its hard to make lentils pretty, but, I have to say, this was pretty tasty and healthy, not to mention, cheap. Gotta love cheap these days. I know I have dissed the whole casserole concept in the past and rightly so. I promise we will not be calling [...]
It snowed about an eighth of an inch here at the shore last night, just enough to get me dreaming about cooking up some delicious Lamb Chili. Heaven in a bowl people. I kid you not. The sun is actually starting to peek through the clouds and I’m hoping it goes back into hiding. A [...]

When Foodbuzz put out the call for event proposals for the 24 Meals in 24 Hours on 24 Blogs the first and only idea that came to mind were my enormous tomato plants and the abundance of gorgeous Jersey tomatoes I had at my fingertips. So, a tomato garden party seemed in order. Click here [...]
People forget that summer doesn’t actually end until September 21st. This gives us a little more time to savor the last bits of the warm weather and all the wonderful bounties of the farm markets. We still have over a week left, even though many think Labor Day is the official close to summer. I [...]
It’s that time of year when the garden is bursting at the seems and I am doing my best to eat every ripe little morsel. This year I planted green, yellow and red bell peppers as well as green Italian peppers. I have got more peppers than Peter Piper could ever pick let alone pickle. [...]
Hello Everyone, Sorry for the brief hiatus in postings. We took a little trip (long drive) to Maine this past week to visit my boyfriend’s family. Yes, this Jersey Girl was communing with wild turkeys, and, well, not a whole heck of a lot else. It rained for most of our stay. Sweet. Let’s just [...]
