Rustic Blackberry Peach Tart

Rustic Blackberry Peach Tart

I love the trend of rustic.  When you have old furniture, you scratch it even more and call it a rustic patina and when you sew like I do, people call it homestyle.  Making this rustic blackberry peach tart started me thinking about all of the ways we are forgiving our imperfections these days. I […]

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Tonight I made Broccoli Cheddar Soup.  It’s not a copycat recipe.  It’s my own.  I’ve used copycat recipes before when cooking but sometimes I feel guilty copying their recipe when I should be out buying it. (I have a low threshold for guilt.) With a head of broccoli in my refrigerator, a block of cheddar […]

Friday Night Pasta

One week at school and I’m already looking on the calendar for my next day off.  That will be in precisely one month from now on September 4th when we commemorate Labor Day.  What do you think?  Should I leave my 4th of July bunting up one more month and take it down after Labor […]

Peanut Butter “Pi”

I had to make a contribution to Pi day today so I pulled out an old favorite recipe – Peanut Butter Pie.  I started making Peanut Butter Pie in 1983 when I went to Florida for a week and ended up staying for the summer. My friend Alice and I tasted this pie at a restaurant and then […]

Baked Bloomin Onion

Baked Blooming Onions

Hard to tell from the photo but that’s an aerial view of a Baked Blooming Onion.  I got my food drone charged and guided it over the monstrous Vidalia onion I baked just so you could see the inner workings of this delicious side dish.  It looks like a big football mum that we used […]

Tzatziki

Tzatziki

As mentioned in this post when I made Spanokopita, I consider myself an expert in all things Greek having been to Greece once and having attended two Greek Festivals so I was excited to find a new recipe for Tzatziki.  I’m always hesitant to make Tzatziki because I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t like shredding the […]
