One of the many things I love about New England is the abundance of enormous, juicy Blueberries! We have access to blueberries here in Southern California but we don’t have cute little plants for picking blueberries anywhere that I know of here in So Cal, and it’s impossible to find the fabulous sort that are [...]

My New England Vacation (with food highlights, of course!)
July 26, 2008 – 9:00 AM
Well friends, I’ve been holding out on you… but I return today from a month-long vacation in New England. That explains my MIA status in visiting not a single blog in the last 30 days. We stayed in a beach house north of Cape Cod where we enjoyed the sun and sand, visiting relatives, evening [...]

Is your house heat-drenched this summer? Are you trying to avoid using that oven because you don’t wish to add to the misery? Here’s a no-bake frozen dessert that you will have a tough time not eating.

Is zucchini growing out of control in your veggie gardens yet this summer? Try this muffin recipe to get a little green stuff into your children without their knowledge: Zucchini- Chocolate Chip Muffins.

You simply can’t go wrong with a dessert that incorporates your favorite candy bars… especially those that you consumed often (without worries of weight gain) when you were much younger but now rarely indulge (because of worries of weight gain). When’s the last time you ate a regular-sized Snicker’s Bar? Really. Perhaps I’m too weight-concious, [...]
Spinach & Arugula Salad with Indian- Spiced Chickpeas & Charred Red Onions
July 10, 2008 – 9:00 AM
Phew… that’s one long title of a recipe. A little bit TMI in IMHO. I hate acronyms. But sometimes you just have to use them and hope that most of the general population ‘gets’ it.
I first saw this recipe on Laura’s blog: The Spiced Life. As her blog title indicates, she tends to pick delicious [...]
Vegetable- Goat Cheese Spread
July 6, 2008 – 9:00 AM
Here’s a colorful, flavorful, cool dip for a hot summer night… Vegetable- Goat Cheese Spread. It’s an awesome sort of dip for dunking cucumber slices, radishes or carrots, as well as sliced baguette.
Lots of crunch. And lotsa veggies within!

Celebrate the 4th with some Festive Cheesecake Pops!
July 2, 2008 – 9:00 AM
Happy 4th of July!
These were my favorites of the Cheesecake Pops that I made for the Daring Bakers. I found the festive 4th sprinkles at a cake decorating store, and the ribbon at a craft store. If you make the cheesecake pops for the 4th, I would suggest that you dip into the chocolate deep [...]
