When the weather cools off, I roast vegetables almost every Sunday. Depending on what looks good at the market, I roast beets, various squashes (butternut would be my favorite), Brussels sprouts, turnips, carrots and more.

September 30, 2020 By
At my home, we love to grill. This undoubtedly comes from living in South Florida for 20+ years before relocating to NJ. There, we grilled several times a week and we’ve continued that now that we live in the northeast. One thing I love to grill is fish. No mess in the kitchen, no fishy […]

September 24, 2020 By
I love recipes that help me clean out the fridge. Last week, I made myself an awesome Greek salad for lunch and had some of the condiments left over and a portion of cooked penne so decided to make a Mediterranean-style pasta with them.

September 15, 2020 By
One of my very favorite drinks is undeniably the White Lady. Love the tartness of the lemony drink and the thick foamy head from the egg white. If you’ve not had a drink made with egg whites, do it, now, it’s incredible. The main trick to this drink is to dry shake the drink, meaning, […]

July 24, 2020 By
When I go through the trouble of making lobsters for dinner, I always make an extra one for leftover lobster recipes later. One of my favorite, most decadent, way to use cooked leftover lobster is to make lobster mac and cheese. It’s luxurious, delicious and a perfect food. I’ve taken my usual large batch lobster […]
