Creamy Thyme Sauce
This is a really simple béchamel sauce that I added only a few ingredients to, this evening. It’s easy and it’s fast and it goes wonderfully over vegetables, pasta and chicken. If you don’t have garlic powder and thyme, I promise they’re worth buying, since they’re very versatile. The recipe’s composition is merely simple [...]
Deep Dish
It all started innocently enough, when I started thinking about pizza. I know I know. It happens to me a lot lately. This is probably one of the last pizza-like posts I will be doing for a while. Anyway, I started thinking about pizza as a tart. Isn’t that sort of what it is? Then [...]
Vegetarian Vegetable Soup
It’s raining today, so I decided I needed something comforting and warm but not too heavy, considering that it is summer, despite the fact that I can nearly smell the apple orchard down the road. I guess I still have just a few more weeks of summer posts, before the real fall happenings roll into [...]
5 Years Ago and Some Chocolate Cake

Garlic Rosemary Parmesan Flatbread
We spent the day outside today. The pool and the gentle breeze were pleasant and the passing clouds were timed perfectly to cool the deck slightly. I didn’t burn my toes as I removed them from the crisp clean water of the baby pool and onto the steamy boards of the deck. I heard [...]
A Sweet Indulgence: Cream Puffs
This has been lightened and simplified from the typical frenchy-french type of recipe. It’s easy, and it’s so delicious. If you have anyone within five yards of you while you’re making these, they grab a spoon and dive right in - that’s instant portion control….just roll with it. I made the pastry shells and hollowed [...]
Pasta Peperonata
Why is it that I find it annoying for people to lecture about eating right and healthy unless they’re Jamie Oliver? Is it the British accent? hmmm….well, anyway… I love his recipes, I love that it’s always minimalistic but delicious, I love that it’s easy for home-cooks to grasp. I especially love that his dishes are never over the top [...]
