This is the most unique method for making cauliflower I’ve ever come across. After trying it, I would say that it isn’t that much different than regular roasted cauliflower?? It didn’t make as much batter as I was expecting. The reipe calls for a kung pao sauce that is a fairly involved process of roasting … Read more

I love breakfast food. For years I hosted a brunch on the last Sunday before everyone went back to work after the end of year holiday season. For that occasion, I almost always made both a sweet and a savory strata. Those recipes came straight out of the Joy of Cooking, and I posted them … Read more
I really like the two-bite savory egg custards they make at Starbucks so I thought I’d try making them at home. Starting with this recipe as a jumping off point, I started to improvise. The first thing is that since I did so much other cooking today, I was out of eggs. However I had … Read more
I love a breakfast strata! The other recipes I have are bread-based; and while they work with gluten-free bread, it’s nice to have one that skips the bread altogether. This is a dish that comes together really super easily, once you know what you’re doing and aren’t checking the recipe every 2 minutes! It’s also … Read more
Ahhhhhh 2020, are there no limits to the havoc you will wreak? You’ve got me eating Jell-O! Mixed with Cool-Whip and sour cream, no less!!! Side bar: on all these recipe blogs, the writer always feels the need to clarify that we aren’t talking about salad, as in lettuce and radishes. Really? Is my Jello-laced … Read more

And like so many of what I thought were “family recipes,” it turns out that she just followed the directions on the back of the package! LOL So I’ve branched out over the years to try fancier versions – but Mom’s … Read more

It’s been cold and rainy all week – perfectly befitting a “holiday” where we’re all stuck in our own homes, away from family and friends. I was tempted to just pretend the whole thing wasn’t even happening. But it turns out that … Read more
