Some things simply are a natural fit, like this grilled chicken caprese. They come together seamlessly and work together brilliantly; the perfectly grilled chicken breast, the melted mozzella, the ripe juicy tomato, the fragrant basil…all finished off with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sweet balsamic vinegar. The hot/cold combo makes this […]
We’re having a heat wave in the Northeast for the last few days and soup seems counter intuitive but if you’re chilled in an air conditioned office or home, this flavorful soup may be just the thing…or just save it for a chilly or wet night. Either way it’s light, flavorful and so very east […]
This ‘recipe’ was inspired when I had to use a variety of produce in my fridge after having been unexpectedly away for a few days. Not wanting to make a kitchen sink type stir fry (which at times I love and it always results in something interesting) I opted to use this as an […]
This is a salad I learned how to make while working at a friend’s cafe in New Milford, CT called the Green Granary. It’s an inviting, cheery space where literally everything is good and organic. This curry chicken salad became a favorite of my son so I made it often over the years even though […]
I along with many others in the foodie world am having a love affair with brussel sprouts. For me it started this past Thanksgiving when I made them as side dished and in a stuffing. But the love affair has continued into this spring and this easy recipe which I served as a side […]

Quesadillas are always a good thing to make when we want something filling, tasty and fast. They are fuss […]
I first learned how to make this Curry Chicken Salad at my friends organic cafe and fell in love. Then my son got hooked on it and wanted it often…even as one of the offerings at his wedding. I ate half of it in this bowl before I remembered to take a photo. Later […]
I love having citrus water ready and waiting for whenever I want to fill a glass for myself or quests. Whether it’s with oranges or lemons…or sometimes even cucumber doesn’t really matter. What matters is that I drink plenty of it every day. I love how refreshing it looks on my counter and since […]
Eggplant Caponata Eggplant is one of the vegetables that people either love or hate. Many say it’s a texture thing. And though it may be, I think it’s more a flavor thing. If eggplant is not cooked thoroughly or well, it can be tough and tasteless. On the other hand a skilled preparation results in […]
I love having cooked chicken in my fridge because then I can make so much from it. Sometimes I make a batch of breaded chicken cutlets but this time I dressed the cutlets with lots of herbs de Provence and let them cook in chicken lemon broth. First I simply browned them in a bit […]
