My culinary idol is the famous French chef Jacques Pepin. This has to be the easiest and most delicious French toast ever. It was one of his ideas and I thought how brilliant. The ice cream already has the egg, cream, and sugar!! This recipe is super fast and it’s basically 3 i...

In the foothills of Mount Vulture in Basilicata, southern Italy, some of the greatest wines are grown. The volcanic soil often imparts extra depth of flavors and minerals.  Last September I did a blog on this wine. (Aglianico, A Southern Italian Gem - The Working Mom). I wanted to ...

This is a 1-pot meal, except for any side dishes you wish to serve with it. For this meal, I simply steamed som...

Our ancestors drank beer, wine, and mead. They have been for 9000+ years. No one is certain, but it's likely that barley got wet (and fermented), grape juice sat too long (and fermented), and water sweetened with honey, sat too long (and fermented). My guess is the folks who tried this stuff were ki...
