- Spicy, Savory MeatballsIt's easy to run into a recipe rut. Like meatballs. Onions, maybe some sausage, garlic, parsley, etc. Over and over and over.Then I spied this recipe via www.thebittenword.com which tried them from Food and Wine. These meatballs had lots of "stuff" i...
- Coming up next ....SPICY MEATBALLS!on Apr 28, 2014I know I'm onto a good recipe when I tend to make it over and over within the same week or two. Such is the case with these meatballs. Savory and spicy all rolled into one. I'll never be satisfied with a plain meatball again .... Nor will you,&...
- Sausages with Peppers, Onion, Tomatoes and Spaghettion Apr 14, 2014 in sausages and peppers sausages and peppers with pasta sausages with peppers and onionsSausages with peppers and onions couldn't be easier to prepare and it's one of those dishes open to interpretation. Me, I like to add mushrooms and sliced, black olives. As always, use a good Parmesan cheese or something similar. The Campari tomatoes...

I just wanted...
- Fondant Potatoes, SquaredPotatoes with a crisp, seasoned exterior baked and simmered in a sauce of broth, butter, and fresh herbs.Traditionally round, I squared my potatoes which created more surface areas to brown.And I just like the "techy" look of it.The lemon zest comple...
- Breaded, Baked Pork ChopsMoist, flavorful and no frying needed.Oh, humble pork chop, how many ways do we love you? Braised. Seared. Fried. Barbecued. Stuffed. Sauerkraut. Apples. Onion.Who doesn't savor a pork chop cooked/baked to perfection? Oh, my grandfather just lov...
- Food ... Life ... Musicon Jan 14, 2014I love when I discover new music--or it discovers me. I heard Movement 10 of this composition today on NPR while driving to work. I had to pull over to the side of the road because I was so moved and excited! Amazing, I never heard this score u...
- Cornbread: The South vs. The NorthNothing sparks controversy here in the South as cornbread. Authentic cornbread, Southern style, uses little, if any flour, no sugar, and white corn, not yellow. It is just the opposite of Yankee cornbread which here is considered more of a sweet cake...
