“She’s my cherry pie Put a smile on your face Ten miles wide Looks so good Bring a tear to your eye Sweet cherry pie” Do you remember those lyrics from 1990 by the band Warrant? I have had the song in my head ever since the June Bon Appetit arrived in my mailbox. I …

Colman’s & Cookina Summer Blogger Grill-Off
Can you remember the year you first tried a particular food or condiment? Did it make you so happy that each time you think of that first taste you are taken back in a taste bud time machine? I have that relationship with Colman’s Mustard. I was 27 years old in London on a business …
Tzatziki Sauce: A Consonant Friend
One of my favorite things to do with friends is catch up over lunch or coffee. Our conversations usually cover the usually topics of hubbys, kids (theirs) and food (mine). The other day during one of these wonderful catch up sessions, we started talking about things to put on a burger. (Yep, we are that …
Summer Lovin’ (And Chicken too)
There are a lot of reasons why I especially love this time of year. Part of the reason is the warming weather and the gorgeous, glowing sun. It is the greenness of the trees and the clearness of the blue sky. Mostly it is because 17 years ago I fell in love with my husband …
One Elle of a Challenge
I am not one to brag (if you are a regular reader you know I love to brag….humor me) but I have a lot of friends. When you live in a small town for 16 years, you meet a lot of people and inadvertently become friends. Now I’m not saying these are ALL friends who …

I don’t want to say that this winter was long but I ran out of my homegrown, canned tomatoes. (I was trying to think of a joke about long winters but there was nothing funny about this year!) My go-to canned tomato is Red Gold. I like the texture and the various flavors of their …
She Sells Stuffed Shells….
“She sells seashells on the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So, if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.” I don’t know why this tongue twister keeps going around in my head. (Actually, I didn’t even know the last 3 lines until I looked them up.) I …
Hypocritical Oaf Potato Packets
The Hippocratic Oath. It is the oath that is recited by physicians to care for their patients honestly and ethically. It is the backbone of our healthcare industry. I, on the other hand, am a hypocritical oaf. Have you heard of people like these? We are the first to be vocal on a subject but change …
Mixing It Up For Mother’s Day
As Mother’s Day approaches this Sunday, I have spent a lot of time thinking of my mom. My goal was to make a recipe this week that was based on my mom’s signature ingredient. As my wheels were turning coming up with an original idea, I had to laugh because I kept coming back to …
April Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
Eeeeek!!! Another month has flown by and I ALMOST didn’t keep my resolution to cook every cover this year of Bon Appétit. I will admit I was lulled into a false sense of security when I first looked at April’s cover. The theme of this issue was “Cook like a pro…How to Make Amazing Restaurant …
