Being a quiche fan, no ….let’s make that a really huge quiche fan, this frittata is quickly becoming my new “go to” food. While quiche is my comfort food, when it comes to time, the frittata is hands down  mach speed simple. This one I made with goat cheese was superb. I don’t buy goat cheese…

Seeing all those green clover cookies on the web recently made me want to try something a little bit different this St. Patrick’s Day. If you are a fan of Bailey’s Irish Creme, and a fan of ice cream……and another big fan of mud pie and Irish Coffee you have all the clues you need.…

It’s beginning to look a lot like  fat time……everywhere I go! I have been playing around with that silly bread machine of mine, so why stop now! Huh!? Got a hankering for a sweet bread. After the wonderful success with that hearty cinnamon raisin bread, wanted to branch out and try some variations. Can I…

The snow has brought the city to a shut down, well practically. Lucky us, we got out and played in it and it gave us an excuse for yet another batch of delicious soup. This week it’s organic leek and potato soup. So easy, so simple in its ingredients, and so comforting. I can’t stop…

Nothing better for a Sunday brunch than a Sunday Brunch with your favorite food!  I even kicked it up a notch by making home made Cinnamon Raisin Bread, then made French Toast with it! Ohh La La! I know, I know……so freakin good! The bread was very dense, so I poked a few holes in…

What do you give the two greatest dogs and cats on the planet for Valentines Day??  Why cookies of course. Only the kind meant for canines and felines that is. I wanted to make them something really healthy and have been digging (no pun intended) around the internet to find some really good recipes. Got…

I love asian pastries. Just love them but have never had the nerve to dig into baking them. “Let the experts”…. I would tell myself. Until of course this Chinese New Year. I had purchased some lovely rice flour (or SO I Had Thought) and was ready to jump off the high dive. Well, I…

That California weather is making me cringe!! How lucky is that. Though I am not feeling homesick on any level (though technically not home), I have to admit I do miss being WARM. Not that I would trade. Our chilly sunny weekend had such beautiful moments for taking in a run with the dogs. After…

Oh Oh OH…..I can’t believe this bread recipe!! Unassuming, one of my favorite words btw, is this little cook book! Keeping to my promise of making sure this year I buy very little bread, I am digging through my stash of cook books.  I went in search of the cookbook that came with my bread machine yet…

My wonderful new neighbor has been sharing the Wall Street Journal with me since I don’t get that paper anymore. As life would have it, I just get my news elsewhere these days and you ALL know how I feel about trash! But a thank you cake was in order! I didn’t want anything too…

Has anyone ever told you how easy Carrot soup is to make? Probably the easiest soups you can make, not to mention incredibly healthy! I sure love carrot juice but hadn’t gotten cold enough to make this soup. Today was the day. Can I tell you I have Noooooo idea what took me so long…

My brother Jack has a way of making soup that will literally make folks come out of their houses in search of that Yummy smell!! I kid you not, he really has magic in his hands and not just for making soup. Yes, he’s my big brother so I have bragging rights! My favorite Seattle…

I found an interesting recipe while trying to find recipes for my bread machine. Well, I was wanting to make some yummy bread using the machine and didn’t know where to turn. So, I googled around a bit and found an interesting recipe. But I didn’t have all the ingredients for that exact one, but…

Here is that Broccoli Casserole that I ran out the door to Thanksgiving Supper and forgot to photograph!! I made it again, but this time I halved it seeing as I didn’t have to feed 15 people, and it was perfect. Take the recipe and half the entire thing, and this time instead of a…

It was Tracy’s birthday and I wanted to make her some cookies. Actually I think I had promised them sometime this past summer and never seemed to have the ingredients when I wanted them. So for her birthday last week I found this perfect little ditty on The Novice Chef blog that absolutely fit the…
