I went up to New Hampshire last weekend for a pizza party. I told my sister-in-law that I wasn’t eating bread. When I showed up she took salmon out of the oven. She didn’t know I didn’t like salmon! Well, I told her I would try it, and I did. It was fantastic. Not just…

Fried Wontons/Vanilla Soft Serve with a drizzle of caramel
This dessert reminded me of a few people and a few great times in my life’s journey. I first made this dessert back in 1999, just after I graduated Culinary School. I landed a job as head pastry chef at a new bistro in my home town. There were a few things on the menu:…
Toasted Honey Pecans/Arugula Salad
I got a jar! I got a jar of honey and I am so excited! My friend Ellen is a keeper of bees and makes honey every year and I am one of the lucky ones to reap some of the rewards. She also gave me this mug from when she traveled to Michigan. I…
I’m am so blessed to have such thoughtful people in my life. I was working and this guy, he brings in a bag – it’s heavy. I look in it ands its two jars of jam his wife made for me. I was all smiles and gave him a hug to give to his wife even though he was all sweaty from playing basketball. One of those moments you think about (giving a hug to a sweaty guy) and then you just do it because it’s the right thing to do.
I woke up and couldn’t stop thinking about the jam and which one I wanted to have on my toast, so I decided to have both. Beyond me why blueberries don’t smell However when I popped open the jar, the rich dark blue indigo color of the blueberry had my mouth watering – Then I…
Valentine’s Day!

One of my favorites; I like using chocolate morsels to melt my chocolate because they are already tempered. I add a little butter when melting to give it a little…

My Daughter’s Dish – Bowtie Pasta Chicken
My daughter surprised me with this dish the other day. It was a weekend day when I was doing my homework for a Psychology Research class I am taking. I smelled the aromas from the living room, but wasn’t quite sure what she was making. She brought me this bowl of pasta and I took one bite…

Friendship Foods
This post has been on my mind for quite some time. My co-worker, colleague, most definitely friend – Kim Couture – She and her husband made me strawberry jam!
