How to Cook Fiddleheads

A very exciting event occurred a few evenings ago. As I was driving down the road, I saw a sign in front of one of the neighbor’s houses that read, “Fiddleheads – $3.” Translated, this means that someone was selling the coiled bases of the ostrich fern for $3 per pound. I bought three pounds. […]

Penne Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Garlic & Capers Recipe

There used to be a huge Italian restaurant a few towns away from the town I grew up in. This place was enormous and it served primarily family style Italian dishes. When I say family style, I mean, for something like $13, they served an entire skillet full of the best pasta and sauce I’ve […]

Cast Iron Skillet Butterscotch & Pecan Cake Recipe

I think I’m getting hooked on desserts, which is something I should consider carefully. It’s just that the desserts I’ve been making recently are so good. First it was the chocolate snockers cake and now it’s the butterscotch and pecan cake. These things are pretty much out of this world and I think I’m going […]

Egg, Mushroom & Baby Green Salad with Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette Recipe

I have never prepared a salad with scrambled eggs in it before, so when I spotted this recipe, I initially wasn’t going to try it out. I’m glad I came to my senses though because I must say, it was delicious. And believe it or not, it was filling to boot. The Recipe There are […]

Eggs are back. I have three recipes this week that include eggs in them and they’re all spectacular. This first one is a frittata that uses an entire dozen and the next two are a breakfast that will make your mouth water and a scrambled egg salad that I hope will satisfy. I’m excited to […]
