It’s the day after the great Irish-American feast of St. Patrick’s Day. Whether you’re Irish or not, you probably had some permutation of New England boiled dinner or corned beef and cabbage. But today, is another day and if you planned well, and you know you did, because you always do, then you have leftovers. You can make hash. Continue reading

Thomas Jefferson (or “Tee-Jay”, his lesser known rapper name), from his travels in Europe, brought the Colonies the lovely flavor of tarragon. He was a Francophile in the largest sense; if it was French, it was good…and tarragon is very good, indeed.

Spanish tortilla is a lovely egg, potato and onion concoction that is so flexible it can either be supper or an hors d’oeuvre; it can be served hot, warm, room temperature or cold. It can be made ahead, is actually best made a couple of hours ahead, and can be reheated. Best of all, it’s absolutely delicious! Continue reading

Fried Rice is a favorite of The Latin Lover; well really, who doesn’t like fried rice? It’s fried, after all. This is the version I made yesterday, but it changes according to what I’m feeling and what I’m serving the rice with. Rice is a blank canvas for flavor! You will need cold rice, so plan ahead…there it is again! Continue reading

This is a perfect Valentine’s dessert for lovers and other strangers. This is a dessert that screams to be shared and really, what is Valentine’s Day for if not for sharing decadence and love. Sometimes they’re the same thing, aren’t they? Continue reading

I felt after the lean Heathen Gypsy Soup, you needed something to snarf down that would put some staying power into that snow shovel. So here’s the second posting for today. Enjoy these.
Don’t you just love making bar cookies? They are delicious and usually they go together so easily that you can make them before you go to work. Blondies are one of the best bar cookies. They are a cross between brownies and chocolate-chip-type cookie batter. They are dense, sweet, chewy, moist and rich…they are decadent and you simply cannot eat just one. Remember…life is short. Have the second blondie…. Continue reading

One does not live by soup alone. Cornbread is a natural to serve with soups. This is a light, cakey-type of cornbread with a great flavor and a tender crumb. And it’s easy. It has many variations, but most of all…it’s delicious! Continue reading

My New Year gift to you is this recipe for pancakes. You will never use a pancake mix again. This is just too easy and simple to prepare. It doubles and triples easily and no matter what, it makes light, fluffy, meltingly tender pancakes to slather in maple syrup. As the aroma wafts through you house, sleepy heads (and hungover heads) will rise and shine. Continue reading

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
