Self-taught chef at home making beautiful food for the ones I love. Nothing says I love you like a homemade meal.
I feel like everywhere I go lately, all I hear about is Chicken and Dumplings. Last week when I got my haircut, my barber was talking about how his wife was making him homemade chicken and dumplings for dinner. This week on the new Pioneer Woman, she was also making chicken and dumplings. Perhaps it’s […]
I know what you’re thinking – pork and latkes? Not kosher. No, not kosher if you’re Jewish and eat kosher, but super duper kosher for your belly if you’re not! Several years ago I was hosting a cocktail party and I thought, the problem with cocktail or appetizer parties is there is never enough food […]
The truth about raw cookie dough is this: it’s delicious! Especially because you grew up hearing your parents and/or grandparents tell you not to eat it, which somehow makes it extra delish!

It’s finally here – Thanksgiving Day, the time we reflect on all that we are thankful for, and of course – eat! This year has been particularly challenging in our house, an emotional roller coaster for sure. I’m thankful this year for our friends and family who have stood by our side through life’s ups […]
Everyone, and I mean everyone, loves a good old Mac & Cheese! And, don’t pretend you don’t love the one from the box – we all love the one from the box! There are all kinds of ways to zhoosh up Mac & Cheese like with blue cheese & lobster, or truffle butter, or whatever. […]
Alas! The long-awaited Turkey recipe – just in time for the big day! I created this recipe last year and continued to make it this year because it’s just that good! I take the traditional flavors of turkey and amp-up the flavor by adding orange and rosemary, which is a great flavor combination. By basting the […]
Twas a week before Thanksgiving and all through the house, every one was getting anxious – and hungry for turkey! Well folks, just one week to go before the big day! I apologize for being tardy on posting lately, I’ve been under the weather; but – not to fear, your stress free Thanksgiving is almost […]
