#SundaySupper: Chocolate Coconut Creamy Truffles with Strawberry Jam
It’s time for another SundaySupper and it’s all about Valentine’s Day. I went traditional with chocolate, how could I not? And I settled on truffles. It’s been way too long since I’ve made them. Truffles are show-stoppers. Decadent, hard chocolate shells protecting luxuriant, silky [...]
Pin ItClassic Green Bean Casserole Redux: #SundaySupper
Our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners weren’t complete without the green bean casserole that was all the rage in the ’70′s. You might remember it: green beans swamped with cream of mushroom soup and topped with French fried onion rings. I think it graced every table [...]
Pin ItSkinny Potato and Fennel Gratin with Leek Confit
Today’s post is about the food. I mentioned in an earlier post that I would be focusing on root vegetables this month, and today I’m starting with the common, much maligned white potato. Its rap sheet is long, starting with carbs, starch, and a lack [...]
Pin ItHoneyed Warm Feta with Dates
I have friends who are appetizer rock stars, but I’ll be the first to admit I’m challenged in this area. By the time I’ve planned a first course, the main event, and dessert, the appetizer becomes an afterthought. At the last minute, I’m invariably [...]
Pin ItSteamed Mussels in White Wine with Fennel
It starts with Halloween. All that left over Trick-or-Treat candy I swear I’ll throw out, and cookies in shapes of arched cats and witches hats that were so fun to make. Before I know it, Thanksgiving arrives with stuffing, sweet potato casseroles, and at least [...]

Pin ItNo-Bake (Healthy) Peanut Butter Fudge
As I write this, I’m sitting in the departure lounge of the International terminal in San Francisco, bound for a month in the Italian sun. You might be thinking, “Wow, she’s that organized that she can do a blog posting at the terminal gate?” [...]
Pin ItSpicy Blue Cheese and Apricot Sables (#baketogether)
I knew there were different kinds of dried apricots, but never really gave it a great deal of thought…until a box showed up on my doorstep. I’ve not written about a specific product here in the past, but will do so when I run [...]
Pin ItWelcome!
I'm Susan, thank you for visiting my food blog! I enrolled in culinary school after many years in business as a gift to myself to follow my heart and create a life around food. I've now fallen in love with writing and photography as well, and am thoroughly enjoying this new life I'm still creating.
Inspired by the book "In Defense of Food", I began infusing more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into my everyday diet. Meat and fish will never be completely gone from my diet, but they're no longer the main event on my plate. On the other hand, my husband is a determined carnivore, creating a challenge for me to create dishes that will entice him. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new to add to your own table.
