If you followed the last post regarding roasting your Fall vegetables, then this salad will be easy! It is the quintessential salad for Thanksgiving: lots of bright greens, deep orange squash and radiant red fruit. Simple to put together and it can be prepared the day before or even several days before you need the …
Book: The reviews for “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo are quite amusing. Here are the major points of the book. I like how they are highlighted in bold. That way I can just read the bold font and skip over the rest 🙂 Let’s start with one of the funniest …
Book Update: I gave up on “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doer. I must be a freak because now there are not 6 thousand, not 8 thousand, but now 9 thousand reviews on Amazon for this book! That’s like 1000 more reviews since I started reading it. I started reading instead a good …

**Book Update** I’ve almost finished “Try This: Traveling the Globe without Leaving the Table” by Danyelle Freeman. Truthfully, I thought it was a recipe book. Nope! She’s a food critic in New York City. Now that is a city to be a food critic in! I really enjoyed the book and fully think it is …
This is the best grilled food I ever made!! The sausage was perfect and the onions were caramelized so well that they were actually sweet. I had yellow squash on hand, but you could use any squash really. To prep ahead of time, microwave your onions and put them in a 9×13 disposable aluminum roasting …
Ok, even some brussell sprouts haters may love this one. I had all the ingredients on hand and needed something to zest up the brussell sprouts. I like them as is. After 32 years of not liking them, I think they are pretty tasty. This recipe is simple, fast and tastes great. My three …
I know I promised Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, but I just watched Alton Brown’s method of making vanilla ice cream and it just looks more precise. I made David Lebovitz’s Vanilla Bean Ice Cream per the instructions and it said nothing about heating up the mixture to 170 degrees to kill the bacteria. So… it …
