Hello, “Pumking!”
The arrival of fall means my favorite seasonal craft beer is back in stores. I’m cooking up a tasty meatless chili with Pumking from Southern Tier Brewing!
The Best Bread Pudding
In honor of what would have been my Gram’s 99th birthday, I’m sharing her recipe for the most wonderful bread pudding. She would say, “adjust it any way you like!”
Chicken Cacciatore
My Nonna always used to say… oh, wait, I never had an Italian grandmother! But with a little research and good ingredients, anyone can rock a classic Italian comfort food.
Creamy Curried Butternut-Cauliflower Soup
This creamy, Indian-spiced soup is bringing a whole lot of healthy to Meatless Monday, and you may as well make a large batch of it, because the leftovers warm up great!
Triple Chocolate Cherry Brownie Bowls
Believe it or not, this over-the-top dessert is merely a dressed-up box brownie mix! Filled with ice cream, of course, and a quick homemade cherry sauce.
Pierogi with Potato, Leek and Spinach Filling
Why are the humblest of dishes so intimidating to me? This one has been on my bucket list for a long time, but I’ve finally made them, and just in time for National Pierogi Day!
Mahi Hemingway
I’m showing you how easy it can be to re-create a favorite restaurant seafood pasta dish at home, enjoying all the same flavors (and the upscale presentation) at a fraction of the price!
Mr. Bones and the Harvest Moon
I’m putting a Comfort du Jour twist on a classic New York sour cocktail, bringing in rye, pears and smoked maple, all in celebration of this evening’s “Harvest Moon!”
My Favorite PB&J
Everybody knows about the simple joy of PB&J, but my family has always employed a fun twist that makes this childhood favorite something much more memorable.
