If there is one thing that I can grow it is basil. My tomatoes might shrivel up with blight, my broccoli eaten down to nubs by the ground hog from the ground hog condo next door and my lettuce might bolt before I have a chance for a good salad. But, my basil is prolific. [...]

Easiest post ever. Summer food. Tomatoes, fresh bread, a little goat cheese spread with roasted vegetables on top. Pickled peaches and fresh gazpacho. Do you want recipes? Really, because these things almost don’t have recipes but I will try.
Gazpacho
Haul out the food processor and add the following
one peeled cucumber, 3 large tomatoes, a clove or [...]
Because…
Posted in Cooking, Moosewood Recipes, Vegetarian Cooking on June 17, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Because it’s summer….
Because Erin and “the ring” were visiting last week….
Because I love my friend Carol and she gave me this recipe years ago……
Because we needed to eat the zucchini before it turned into something unrecognizable in the back of the vegetable crisper…..
Because Bob came right out and told me to write about something other than [...]
Flourless chocolate cake….why it is a healthy food choice.
Posted in Cooking on May 18, 2009 | 8 Comments »
A couple of years ago, I began making this dense and delicious chocolate cake. The whole flourless chocolate cake thing was becoming very popular in restaurants and cooking magazines, much like the “Molten Chocolate Volcano Oozing Surprise”type cakes are now. There is a reason these are so popular, they are FREAKING FANTASTIC, that is if you [...]
lamb chops

Well my little lamb chop, it’s grilling season. Lots and lots of stuff to grill. Now that’s my idea of warm weather cooking. Throw something on the grill, make a salad and not much to clean up.
We have recently discovered locally raised, prance around the fields lamb sold at our local Earth Fare. While pricey it is very [...]
What Bob means when he asks for dessert
Posted in Cooking, NIH, melanoma on April 22, 2009 | 6 Comments »
There is a long standing family joke about this coffeecake. First off it is fabulous, moist and Bob’s favorite. The joke is that When Bob says, “Honey will you make dessert tonight?” The kids would all groan, because they had long given up on the hope that Dad wanting dessert might mean brownies or pie or [...]

Just thought you would want to know this, in case you had any doubt. A month or so ago I very quietly started a “Cook thought the Book site”. I have been SO successful at keeping this a secret that no one has even seen it yet, but it is out there. Now I am going [...]
Cooking With My Honey

For the past year Bob and I have tried to make a habit of cooking dinner together more often. For awhile we cooked Saturday dinner together every week. Things got busy over the holidays and that schedule fell apart. Well, we are back at it and last Saturday we made this terrific Chicken Bouillabaisse. I belive [...]
