So, here we are continuing this week’s FoodFocus of Great Grillables! Let’s get to it!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m about 7 months pregnant with my second child. People often ask what food cravings/aversions I’m having and how they differ from last time. Last time around I wanted chowders of all kinds—clam, corn, seafood, […]

I just got back from a weekend away (aaaaah!). I was at the family cottage which is by the beach near Cape Cod. My mother would be all over me if I mentioned the name of the town, because it’s one of the few unspoiled places. I was lucky enough to spend […]

We’ve been talking ice cream this week. It has occurred to me that some folks want an ice cream alternative. Something lower fat. Something healthier. Something to feel less guilty about. So, here’s a great recipe that we use around here all summer in some form or other.
See, I’m much more particular about what […]

It can’t be ignored that having a make-your-own sundae situation at a party is a damn fine thing. I don’t care what age you are. And if you’re anything like me, you want to make as many of the toppings as possible yourself. Stuff from a can or a jar just won’t do. […]

There is an ice cream maker out there for every personality. If you go to cooking.com and search on them, I think you’ll get about 20 or so that come up.
For the person who likes to do things “the old fashioned way,” you can get the hand crank kind your grandma used to have.
For […]

Today we’re just going to get down to it. I mean, why not? It’s too hot to mess around.
This is one of my favorite recipes and it comes to you from cooking.com.

The Quintessential Summertime Treat!

This week we’ve gotta talk ice cream. It’s officially summer now. Yes, solstice, sure. But as a kid it always felt like summer started once the 4th of July came. Then it became (officially) ice cream season—at least for those of us who are (and always have been) food-focused.
At this time, I […]

It’s one of my favorite times of year right now. Strawberry season. We belong to a CSA farm and for 2 weeks we have gotten 2 quarts of fresh-picked, native strawberries. Um. . . . YUM!! Now, for the most part these little beauties don’t make it into recipes at all, they […]

Corn can be confusing.

My husband loves corn muffins and corn bread.  In fact he likes anything corn. He’s not big on the vegetables in general.  We often debate about whether or not corn is a vegetable at all.  I say it’s not and even if it is, it’s largely indigestible and loaded with sugars.  And therefore, he can’t […]

There’s lots of folks in the world who can’t handle gluten. For whatever reason their bodies just can’t deal with it. These folks are lucky that they live in a time where we have lots of resources for eating gluten-free. There are some great recipes out there, and I have one here […]
