My husband thinks we have way. too. many. leftovers in the refrigerator. What he sees as a scrap that should be tossed, I see as a paint to play with on my artist’s palette. I’ll admit our refrigerator gets pretty crowded with containers of things [...]

Homemade Granola Bars — #SundaySupper
I’ve been trying for awhile now to make granola bars, and these might be the easiest ones I’ve ever made. I don’t know about you, but I find that the biggest challenge in making granola bars is getting them to stick together without loading up [...]
Pin ItVery Berry Mini-Pies #baketogether with Abby Dodge
I’ve forgotten how to relax. How to flop down on a beach with nothing better to do than feel the heat of the sand between my toes, half-listen to nearby chatter and squeals muted by the waves, and just let my mind wander aimlessly. After [...]
Pin ItHigh Altitude Baking: Blueberry Buttermilk Corncake
Today marks the beginning of a new series I’m calling High Altitude Baking, which until I can think of something shorter and catchier, can be found under a new tab fittingly called High Altitude Baking. We spend, on average, a week every month in [...]
Strawberry Salsa
I thought I’d share some fun strawberry factoids today that you can toss around at your next cocktail party since this recipe is ALL about strawberries, and they’re quickly coming into season now in many parts of the country. The botanical name for strawberry [...]
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 ItFresh Mascarpone Cheese
I met mascarpone later in life. I knew about it, sure. I had witnessed people swooning, waxing poetic over its creaminess and delicate flavor. But I never really understood all the fuss. To me, this cream cheese from the Lombardy region of northern Italy tasted [...]
Pin ItA New Twist on an Old Favorite – Toffee Party Mix for Superbowl
I confess I’m not a big sports fan. I enjoy going to games, but more for the totality of the experience, than because I particularly care about the outcome. Sign me up for tail-gating, socializing, eating, and just soaking in the excitement of the crowd. [...]
Making Friends: Easy Whole Wheat Peasant Boule with Fennel Seed
Yeasted breads and I were not instant friends. There was no spark. No pull of attraction. No camaraderie. But in school, you don’t get to choose: ”Susan, meet yeasted bread recipe. Find a workspace and go to work”. As any of you know who went [...]
Spicy Kale Chips
I hit a carb wall over the weekend. Not that I don’t love all the cake, cookies, candy, and scones I’ve been gorging on mind you. I can make a breakfast out of a swirl of warm cinnamon rolls draped with icing as eagerly [...]
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.
