Well, friends, my second book baby, Quicker Than Quick, is about to make its way into the world on Tuesday, April 21st and I can barely contain myself! Unlike an actual baby, books take a long time. I originally pitched the idea of a book of quick to prep and quick to cook recipes to my agent in ...

Matzo Polenta with Mushroom Ragout Recipe
Stop the press! Hold the line! Sound the alarms! I am sharing the best, most delicious, not boring Passover side dish I have ever had. It is easy and versatile, although not low calorie and not vegan! (Sorry, Hubs!) Alas, Passover comes but once a year and you won't eat this ...

Dinner Planner – Week of March 23rd, 2020
If we don't have our health and safety, we have nothing. We will get through this, I am sure. I am looking for the positive in all this and not looking too far forward. I am trying not to overthink the "what ifs" because that will cause me to lose sleep and that's going to do the opposite of help ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 16th, 2020
Oh, friends. This too shall pass. BUT, we all have to do our part so this passes quickly. Doing our part means social distancing, trying to stay healthy, not hoarding resources at the stores and generally taking this seriously. I am taking the position that if I don't need to go out, I'm not ...
Deconstructed Stuffed Cabbage Casserole Recipe
Ok, I'm going to come right out and say it - I'm not great at St. Patrick's Day. I am not a corned beef girl. Cabbage, yes. Irish soda bread, ok (my recipe is great though!) Irish cream, not so much. When my kids were wee ones, I took advantage of the holiday and made so much green ...
