This is an INCREDIBLY versatile soup. It is kind of like chili crossed with vegetable soup — so feel free to add any sort of other vegetables that strike your fancy and noodles too. My mom usually took whatever veggies that were sitting around in the fridge or pantry, drained them and then dumped them …
My dad loved peanut butter. It was his favorite ice cream, cookie, pie, and bar…my mother knew this, so we often had peanut butter things laying around specifically to make him happy. This recipe was one of my favorites. It must have been my dad’s too, because every time I went home there were a …
I grew up in an Italian neighborhood — so my formative tastebud years were filled with red sauce and almond cookies. To this day when I go to bakeries around DC I am befuddled by what is and isn’t there. It isn’t until I get to Philly that I start getting back to the old …
It’s full on winter, and I’m nesting during this cold snap. My favorite (and very easy thing to make) during the dark of this season is CHILI! It is warm, versatile, and delicious. Also, you can add chili to a ton of other things to give them a kick. I’m sure everyone has a favorite …

Ok, so I have some weird comfort foods…but when I tell people that I love “Frog Eye Salad”, it usually gets the best looks! To give you a little background, my mom found this recipe and tried it…soon the whole family was demanding it at every gathering. My nephew asked her once what it was …
My friends came to visit, and while they were here they offered to make dinner since one of them is on the keto diet. Now, I may LOVE to cook, but if you come to my house and offer to cook I am going to get the heck out of the way! Seriously, I love …
My blog has been sparse because of a family issue that required me going to Missouri for an extended period…but I’m back, and I’m finally feeling like cooking again. So let’s jump right into it. I love popovers because of cartoons. Yeah, you read that right. See there is this cartoon called “Bye, Bye, …
