Fresh peach pie tends to disappoint me. It never seems to do justice to the flavor of a fresh, fabulous peach. It’s a bias I have, but I’m working on it. And that’s when I decided that maybe if I used part nectarines, I might be happier with the end result. Yes! Continue reading

This isn’t exactly a chutney. It’s really a cross between a chutney and a relish. It’s sweet and sour. It’s fruity, but with a hit of savory because of the Worcestershire and vinegar. You know, it really doesn’t matter what we call it. What matters is that it’s delicious! Continue reading

This is a marriage made in heaven! Inspiration is a funny thing…it can come out of nowhere. It can be overheard. It can sneak up on you. Or is can simply be the unfolding of something unexplained…that’s sort what happened here. Continue reading

This is a nice little change of pace from Not-Quite-Classic Creamy Coleslaw. But, I think you’ll find this to be a surprisingly delicious change of pace. A change of pace is good…. Continue reading

This is a throw-back to my childhood. On hot summer days (we didn’t have air-condition!), when my mother didn’t want to heat up the kitchen, she would make this in the morning, and put it in the fridge. At dinner time, she would add it to chopped iceberg lettuce, along with thawed frozen peas. It was so very good, at the end of a hot day. Continue reading

Remember back when I posted Strawberry-Lemon Blondie Bars, I mentioned that I thought instead of strawberries, I wanted to use nectarines and blueberries. It was a good thought and it’s a wonderful combination. Continue reading

This is truly an old-fashioned dessert. It’s homey and comforting. It’s also delicious. It’s a basic recipe, you’ll be able to find elsewhere. This is from my mother’s recipe file, though delicious, I couldn’t resist updating it…just a bit. Continue reading

This little gem of a cake is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea (or coffee). It’s moist, actually gets better as it sits, (though it is damn fine the first day, too!), isn’t too sweet, keeps well and is more or less, a one-bowl cake. It is just plain lovely! Continue reading
