These are amazing and delicious! And they are really something special because the Italian Prune Plums that these are made with are only available (in most areas of the United States) in late August and early September. I have a flavor memory that includes these dumplings which I have been craving for years. I am … Continue reading Plum Dumplings
To celebrate what would have been Julia Child's 108th birthday and to honor the end of the blueberry season, today I made an adaptation of Julia Child's Blueberry Clafoutis. I am fortunate to live in South Jersey, close to Hammonton which is considered the Fresh Blueberry Capital of the world. It seems this season's mid-July … Continue reading Blueberry Clafoutis
I've had these cute 4" removable bottom tart pans for 2 years and I have never used them! The Sunrise Bumblebee heirloom tomatoes I started from seed in March are becoming abundant in my garden and New York Times Cooking featured an Heirloom Tomato Tart earlier this week. I could not resist. I adapted this … Continue reading Adorable Heirloom Tomato Tarts

Well, not this kid. I've been told that I spit them out as an infant. I refused to … Continue reading Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Bars
This is it. The quintessential recipe and, in my opinion, the sole reason we go through the laborious steps of preparing a turkey dinner. I love this so much, I can't even put into words, my adoration. Sure, we could make something similar with chicken and gravy any day of the year, but the real … Continue reading Waffles and Turkey Gravy
My Mother's Aunt Annie was an amazing cook and her stuffing has been on our Thanksgiving Table every year of my life. This is a dish that is never, ever left off of our menu. Even this year when it was only my mother and I, we made a 1/2 recipe. I eat it for … Continue reading Aunt Annie’s Stuffing
My college roommate, Sara, owns a B&B and cattle farm in Northern Virginia and at least once a year a group of us get together at the farm for a weekend of eating, drinking and general merriment. Each time we gather, we spend a good amount of time in the kitchen. Most of us enjoy … Continue reading Cheesy Green Chili Egg Casserole
October is National Pizza Month, but in my opinion, every month is pizza month. My mother and I make it at least twice a month at home and we prefer it to ordering in, because we can control the quality of ingredients that go into it. We are picky about our food, particularly our meats … Continue reading Calabrese Salami Pizza with Fermented Garlic Honey Drizzle
