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 was out of ideas as to what to make for dinner the other night. But then I remembered the amazing lobster rolls from my recent trip to Block Island (a small island off the coast of Rhode Island). As good as a lobster roll can be, many are loaded with mayonnaise which I think […]
