Our waffle maker died a few weeks ago. It was a sad day – we used it at least 4 times per week. Funny, I actually felt lost without it. After 2 1/2 weeks, I couldn’t take it anymore. I bit the bullet and bought another one.  I made waffles for dinner the evening it arrived. I was scanning  [...]

This morning, I was sipping on my green tea in front of the computer checking email, Twitter and such. And Martha Stewart twittered that she was going to be doing a kitchen segment on the Today Show this morning.  My son happened to be home from school sick today so we sat together and watched her segment. He loves [...]

Sunday mornings, I typically make a really big breakfast for my family – a  tradition that I carried over from when I was younger. It’s one of many things about my childhood that figures prominently in my mind.  I would love for my children to have a similar memory. Home fries and scrambled eggs were already on the menu. [...]

Several years ago, I worked part-time at one of the major cooking stores in the US.  It was a dangerous liaison. A considerable employee discount led me to spend my paycheck and then some.  Sadly, all good things come to an end. Upon giving my notice I treated myself to one last item, a going away present of sorts:  a crepe maker. [...]

sweet potato ramekins

published 2 years ago, at the start of November

Yesterday, I was at the supermarket. And I came across some frozen baby food – in the shape of little cupcake molds. That got me thinking. What about a sweet potato souffle baked in a ramekin ?  I thought of adding shredded apple or carrot. But, in the end I decided to stay the course and used sweet potato [...]

chai

published 2 years ago, at the end of October

Last night, I had a friend over for dinner that I haven’t seen in almost 20 years.  We had a hearty soup for dinner so I wanted something for dessert that was only mildly sweet  - and not too heavy. I came across this recipe for chai in the Culinary Institute of America’s Breakfast & Brunches.   [...]

banana pancakes

published 2 years ago, at the start of October

Where have all the fluffy, delicious pancakes gone?  I have tried most pancake mixes – and, to be honest, I think they have an interesting after-taste.  They also seem to produce really sad, flat pancakes. A while back, I discovered Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free Pancake & Baking Mix. And I have remained faithful to it.  My children requested pancakes [...]
