Mac and cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods, along with grilled cheese. While you may think of it as more of a winter dish, just because it’s 90 degrees out doesn’t mean you can’t make it…as long as you don’t mind turning on the oven. For the bread crumbs, we just sprinkled some […]

Chicken piccata is one of my favorite dishes, but surprisingly we had never made it before. It was part of our Culinary Resolutions for 2009, and it didn’t take us long before we could cross it off the list. I like this dish because it’s nice and lemony and buttery.

While all delicious, nothing really beats freshly baked banana bread. If you buy a bunch of bananas, and some start to get a little mushy, well, they are a prime […]

This is a quick and easy recipe for eggplant Parmesan “light.” It’s light because it’s not coated in breadcrumbs and fried, not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s quick and easy because all you have to do is stack the ingredients and pop it in the oven. We topped ours with a little homemade […]

If you like chocolate (who doesn’t?) and if you like peanut butter (ok, some people might not), then you’ll love these peanut butter chocolate bars! A friend made them for a 4th of July party, and everyone at the party asked for the recipe. So, now it my turn to share it with you. Peanut […]

Part of: Vermont 08 – Cheese & Tasty Things Tour There are so many cute inns in Vermont, it was hard to choose! After the drive through Massachusetts and New Hampshire, we stopped at the Norwich Inn in Norwich for lunch. We were lured by the fact that they have their own brewery. We ate […]
