I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s the simple things in life that make me happy. Last night I put together a small first course salad. I couldn’t believe how well it came together–defiantly something to write home about. In fact, I couldn’t stop thinking about the flavors this afternoon, and felt [...]
When I have people to cook for I get excited and nervous all at once. I’m usually just cooking for one so if I make a failure of a meal no one will ever know. That is of course, unless I blog about it. Good food is always best enjoyed in good company so I [...]
‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
Oh. My. Oh…I seem to be having trouble verbalizing my emotions towards dinner tonight. With out question, this is the best thing I’ve ever made. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, Mushroom, Leek and Spinach Tart is in the running with ice cream. Yes, it is kind of a [...]
It’s recipe time! I’ve been running around with my family all day we are spending the evening at a ‘German Harvest Celebration’ at the Hermann J. Wiemar winery. (More on that later ) Since I haven’t had time to post, I thought I’d leave a recipe for Easy Palak Paneer my way. I studied a [...]

I added some sweetness with honey, Crofter’s Europe Superfruit Spread, banana and homemade gingersnap granola.~3/4 (last of my container) plain Chobani Greek yogurt, 1 TBS chia [...]
Today was a beautiful day. The sky was a brilliant shade of blue and the temperature was mild. Today was a busy day. At 6pm, I was convinced that the clock on my phone was playing a joke on me. Time always seems to fly FAR too fast on the nice days. Today began well, [...]
Cinnamon Quinoa with Spiced Pumpkin, Spinach and Goat Cheese This recipe is simple and festive. It makes for a great side dish or light yet satisfying meal. The crunch of the quinoa with the soft chevre and pumpkin was palate pleasing. Cinnamon and cumin compliment each other and really pull the whole dish together. Let’s [...]
I love the weekends. There is no rush. I have time to really enjoy breakfast. I never burn my tongue on piping hot banana pieces like I do almost everyday during the week.1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 cup water, cinnamon, cloves, 1/2 banana, 1/2 TBS chia [...]
Yesterday was simply amaizeing. Yes, I know that I am spelling “amazing” wrong. After work, a few of my coworkers and I did something WILD and CRAZY. We went to a corn maze. It was actually called, “The Amazing Maize Maze.” 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 [...]
