Never let it be said that I would pass out diet advice, but I think you would like these zucchini fritters diet or no diet. I have been on a zucchini kick. Zucchini is in such abundance this time of year. I have made zucchini lasagna I will post later, but wanted to let you know … [Read more...] about Zucchini Fritters

Tomato Tarte Tatin
I have found another gem of recipe. I think I told you before but in case you missed it I like to read French blogs. Well actually I read English, American, or in this case Belgium blogs, but they are living in France or spending extended periods of time in France. They pass on … [Read more...] about Tomato Tarte Tatin
Corn Soufflé
I went to the market and they had a big display of fresh corn. I know it is a little early for corn, but I sneaked a peek and the kernels were so plump and I could smell the flavor. I had to pick a few ears. Finally I could make Corn Soufflé. … [Read more...] about Corn Soufflé
Potatoes and Green Beans
I first had this recipe of potatoes and green beans at my mother-in-law’s many years ago. And then I was watching Lidia Bastianich. She was making my mother-in-law’s salad. The one she used to make so often and she always made it for the 4th of July family reunions. … [Read more...] about Potatoes and Green Beans

Grilled Pattypan Squash with Hot Chorizo Vinaigrette
I like to stop by to see what Chef John has been making. He posts a video that is about five to six minutes long. I think of it as culinary school in five minutes and not just instruction but a visual of how to treat food. When I saw his Pattypan Squash With Chorizo Vinaigrette I … [Read more...] about Grilled Pattypan Squash with Hot Chorizo Vinaigrette
Pappardelle with Summer Vegetables
I asked my friend if she ever goes to her favorite restaurant anymore. She hadn’t mentioned going for a long time. She said no, they couldn’t be trusted to eat there anymore since they lose all sense of propriety and overindulge. I laughed at that, but then I thought, well, that … [Read more...] about Pappardelle with Summer Vegetables
Roasted Butternut Squash with Browned Butter and Hazelnuts
I had a recipe failure this week. I rechecked the recipe to see if I had misread it. No I had not. While the final product tasted good, I am sure I could not convince anyone it was worth making since it was so unattractive; I had a difficult time with it myself. In fact I just … [Read more...] about Roasted Butternut Squash with Browned Butter and Hazelnuts
Crispy Potatoes
This post is more about technique than a recipe. I can’t believe I am speaking to anyone about technique, but I am. I am always conflicted when I post. I have a very diverse group of readers. I have a lot of great cooks that actually take the time to read me, thank you very much. … [Read more...] about Crispy Potatoes
