First of all, I want to acknowledge I will never be hired for my piping skills. I’ve tried, but I lack the required patience. I carefully pipe a couple good ones, meaning exactly two, and breezy over-confidence takes over. The next one is invariably smaller [...]

#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 [...]

Welcome!
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.
