Roasted Asparagus with Anchovy Panko-Garlic Topping
I was in the city yesterday meeting Mr. S. for a cappuccino and then off for a bit of retail therapy. I mustn’t have been in the mood as nothing I saw grabbed me except for when it came to a bit of food shopping at Eataly. It’s my favorite specialty shop in Manhattan showcasing…
Read MoreQuinoa Salad with Bacon and Lemon Vinaigrette
I love cookbooks and I have an eclectic mix which I have collected over the years as gifts or ones I purchased. My husband and kids all know that if they’re in doubt as to what to get me for Christmas or birthdays…a cookbook will be happily received! I like the ones that are unique,…

When I was three months pregnant with my daughter, my doctor said I had a touch of sinusitis…it was painful but not as much as a full-on sinusitis (experienced this 2 years later). Medication was out of the question so I decided to make myself a cup of hot water mixed with lemon juice and…

After a five day visit to Canada’s Ocean Playground, I was happy to get back into my kitchen and cook! Don’t get me wrong, the meals we had at Bicycle Thief, Sushi Nami, Seasons, Woody’s Bar-B-Q and La Perla were scrumptious but 5 days of dining out morning, noon and night had a toll on…
Read MoreThe Best Homemade Lemon Ice Cream!
This recipe (adapted from Gourmet) forms part of another – Frozen Lemon Gingersnap Pie – which I will share with you in another post. There’s something so quintessentially summer whenever lemons are mentioned in a recipe, making any day of the year sunny. Flavored shaved ice (precursor to ice cream) has been used for thousands…

Who couldn’t love a little potato round dressed up like this? Simple ingredients and these won’t last long once you bring them to the table! Asparagus, now in season, is one of my favorite Spring vegetables. It is an excellent source of vitamin K, A, and C and this humble perennial is also a natural…
Read MoreGrilled Asparagus Salad with Lemon Parmesan Vinaigrette
A while ago I confessed to being hooked on Pinterest. I still am but what I have happily discovered is that it has introduced me to other food sites I had never heard of. Easy Eats is one of them. For those looking for a gluten-free diet visit their digital food and lifestyle magazine. This…
Read MoreGrilled Artichokes
I love artichokes of any form but have always steered clear when it comes to cooking them at home or should I say prepping them at home. The first time I prepared an artichoke was last year – roasted artichoke bottoms with shrimp and herbed mayonnaise. I was happy with the results but like anything…
Read MoreFennel and Cucumber Salad with Goat’s Cheese and Dill
As I sit here composing this, I look back on all that went on in our lives last year and for some odd, unexplainable reason, I feel that 2012 (a leap year) is going to be a good one. Not that 2011 was a poor one for us, but it certainly had its challenges. Perhaps,…
Read MoreButternut Squash, Ricotta, and Sage Crostini
The movers unpacked us in one day and while they try their best to place items in the right rooms (guided by me and my husband) things do get misplaced. While they were unpacking, I couldn’t help but notice my cookbooks being scattered throughout the house but couldn’t really focus on that at the time…
