Easy Focaccia with Sesame Seeds
I got through jury duty without having to serve. I am happy, but totally out of kilter. The good news is you go on-line and check to see if your number is called to see if you are needed. So you no longer have to physically go to court and sit around. The bad news is you have to … [Read more...] about Easy Focaccia with Sesame Seeds
Greek Salad
When you have food sensitivities you must have a plan. I just received a summons for jury duty. If I am chosen I need a plan to where and what I am going to eat. I don’t want to have to focus on food when I need to be focused on something else. I decided to make a bowl of Greek … [Read more...] about Greek Salad
Chicken Française

If you don’t want to do this, or don’t feel comfortable, ask your butcher. If you buy them already cut thinly you will … [Read more...] about Chicken Française

Shortcakes should taste like cake, but they taste like a biscuit to me, and I am not speaking of the English … [Read more...] about Visitandines

Recently I did a guest post at Susan’s BNOTP with Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy and had a couple of you emailed me telling me how much they enjoyed it. I am like a kid when I hear that. If you … [Read more...] about Panko Crusted Pork Cutlet
Berry Fool
For April Fools Day I thought I would make a Berry Fool. Personally, I don’t like April Fool’s Day. I have had some mean jokes played on me. Not to say I don’t have a sense of humor, I do. But, humor can be funny or not by the timing. The worst joke I ever had played on me … [Read more...] about Berry Fool
Rosemary Popovers
I have not made popovers for years. Then while out shopping I found this lovely pan at an extreme discount. I usually go for the mini version - this pan makes huge popovers. I thought I would give it a try since I seem to have developed an obsession affection for bakeware. … [Read more...] about Rosemary Popovers
