I am in Love. With a Puppy. And Chilaquiles, too.

Sometimes, loneliness happens. Your husband of many years walks away and builds another life elsewhere. Your only daughter turns 18 and begins to embark on a journey all her own. Suddenly, you find yourself almost Read more

Parmesan Tilapia

I have at least a dozen of my favorite recipe books sitting on my kitchen countertop for easy access. Considering between these books are at least a thousand meal ideas and inspirations, you would have found silly how I was going back and forth last night from freezer, fridge to pantry deliberating on what’s for Read more

Tomato Mozzarella Pesto Pasta Salad

Steamed chicken with basil pesto and pine nuts being the ultimate favorite for my brown bag lunches, I usually keep handy~sometimes storebought, mostly homemade~ a pint or so of pesto sauce in my refrigerator. I am simply in love with the heady, aromatic mingling of hard cheese, garlic, fresh herbs and nuts with olive oil on and over Read more

Over the course of months I’ve been doing this, I’ve been fortunate to develop kinship with fellow bloggers, discover many fantastic meal ideas and feast on orgasmic food porn. But, sometimes, I am dismayed by the increase in food that leaves my kitchen as waste. For instance, Read more

Ricotta Artichoke Calzone

Up until I learned how to make my own pizza dough and bufffalo wings at home, pizza delivery from Papa John’s or Pizza Hut has been a favorite recourse of mine for days when I am too lazy to cook. Now, knowing I can reproduce the same meal at home for a small fraction of the cost, I can no longer willingly close my eyes to the $30 price tag of a large pizza, an order of chicken wings and a liter of Diet Coke Read more

Grilled BabyBel and Spinach Sandwich

One of the most emailed, printed and linked to recipes in The CookMobile is the blackberry grilled cheese sandwich I posted a few months ago.
