I had a soft-shelled crab sandwich for breakfast. Isn’t that a terrific way to begin the day? It was truly delicious; I’m still thinking about it. I think I’ve mentioned this coating before, but I don’t think I’ve posted it for you. So here it is—the perfect “dredge”. Continue reading

Rice is a cereal grain; there are white, brown, black, red and purple varieties of rice. Rice offers a wonderful backdrop for other flavors, because it is has such a neutral flavor. Combined with legumes, it becomes a vegetarian protein. It is low in fat and offers a good deal of Vitamin B, potassium, and phosphorus, as well as some fiber, which is all great…but how do I cook perfect rice? Continue reading

I haven’t made the creamy-type of polenta in years…and I do mean years. I had forgotten just how good it is and that it’s a nice alternative to mashed potatoes.

This hot cereal, cream of wheat to be exact, is a reason to get up on a cold winter morning. It’s better than sugar plums dancing in your head. It’s thick, rich and creamy, it sticks with you through all that snow shoveling, skating or skiing. And best of all, it’s just plain delicious. It’s a great cereal for babies, too. Continue reading
