I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream? I’ve never fully understood that little saying. Who screams for ice cream? I know if I had ever screamed for ice cream my parents would not have rewarded me with it. I would have been told I didn’t need anymore sugar and that I needed …

The 3 Little Piggies Burger
Once upon a time, there were three little chefs who were ready to test their cooking skills in their own restaurant. Before they went out on their venture, their mother said “Whatever you do, make the most unique burger so everyone keeps coming back because that is the only way you will survive in this …
Red, White and Blueberry
Did your mom ever make a recipe that you didn’t care for as a kid but now as an adult you are kicking yourself for not eating it? The dish that always comes to mind for me is my mom’s blueberry coffee cake. It really was a silly thing to dislike. It was cake for …
Gotta Try Thai Gai
A few years ago, I took a class on Thai cooking. My main goal was to come out of the class with a masterful knowledge of Pad Thai, my favorite dish. We don’t have anything close to Thai food in my small town and I really wanted to know how to satisfy my cravings. The …

When I make hollandaise sauce, I have a tendency to put on too much jewelry and sing my rendition of her Holiday song. Hollandaise …
Tomato Sauce: Mother Sauces Part 4 of 6
Of all the Mother Sauces, Tomato sauce is the one people are most familiar with eating or cooking. I could even dare to say it is the mother of all Mother Sauces. I have never met a person who doesn’t like tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is probably the only mother sauce that can be …
Emulsified Sauces: Mother Sauces Part 3 of 6
To continue my discussion about sauces, I thought that I should talk about emulsified sauces. There is debate if mayonnaise is an official mother sauce or is it a Sister Sauce. A Sister Sauce you ask? Yep, it is like a Mother Sauce but cuter and wittier. (I just made that up to annoy my …
