Summer Cooking is Here

Summer cooking is here and it couldn’t have been clearer than last week at Debbie’s as we made various marinades for our impromptu barbeques.

Asian Cooking Party

I’m excited to teach a group of women how to make dumplings, Asian salad and fried rice this evening.Cooking parties are the new girl’s night in, where women put on their aprons, gather for wine and learn how to cook something new.

I’m a Flexitarian (so it seems)

I’ve lived my entire life eating little to no red meat, an abundance of fruits and vegetables and minimal amounts of processed foods.

Electric Skillet Pizza

Teaching middle school students how to cook in a pre-school classroom furnished with tiny chairs and miniature tables can be tricky at times, especially when all I’ve got is a microwave, toaster oven and a small slop sink to wash the dirty pots and pans.

Tinkering with the Ordinary

Corn muffin purists would be aghast at my latest muffin concoction. I like to toy with my fares, often messing with the standard to shake things up.

Sweet and Savory Class

I teach middle school kids twice a week and have discovered something not that surprising – they all have a sweet tooth!

Musings about Matzah Crunch and Macaroons

My internet access wasn’t working for many days which will explain my tardiness with a blog relating to Passover. I’ll go with “better late than never” for this posting since I’m still munching on macaroons and matzah candy which conjure pleasant memories of my times making them with friends.

Sweet and Savory Mom

Just call me a sweet and savory mom for now on. That’s what my friend Jackie nicknamed me after a Saturday afternoon cooking date and it just about sums me up.

Empanada Mamas

Friends who shop together and then cook together are certain to stay together! At least that’s my philosophy.

A Little Help from a Friend

My parents gave me a pizelle press for my birthday this year and it had been sitting in the box for a few weeks. I will admit that I was having difficulty motivating myself to make them, passing by the unopened box numerous times.
