Mother’s Day Surprise!

I walked downstairs to find my 9-year-old grandson Wyatt had taken over the kitchen and was “making me breakfast for Mother’s Day.” As I glanced around and saw flour, sugar and a huge mixing bowl, with Wyatt earnestly stirring, I panicked. “I told him not to,” said his mom A.J.,

Brunch-It’s So Easy!

About six months ago my son and daughter-in-law fled their home in Tallahassee and came down to Miami. My son Christopher rarely visits and it took an actual Hurricane to get him here. It ended up being fine- nothing happened to their house- but they were leaving Sunday and my

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

It’s remarkably hard to find a good Margarita in Key Largo! Imagine that- in the land of Margaritaville and lost shakers of salt, a decent margarita is hard to find. I normally resort to making my own- so easy and much better than the too-sweet, fake-tasting and calorie-busting versions offered

The Miami Bowl

Is finally here! Well, you may not have been waiting for it, but I’ve been thinking about it for a year. What would a Miami Bowl contain if I wanted to capture all the tasty, spicy, fresh and colorful flavors of Miami? First of all, it obviously needs black beans

Bye Bye Black Plastics!

My friend Leonor informed me she was getting rid of all her black plastic cooking utensils, such as spatulas, spoons and ladles, and replacing them with high-quality, hardwood utensils. She suggested it might be a topic for Foodie in Miami, so of course I researched it, as I hadn’t heard

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Duck?

I recently resolved to visit Tallahassee and my grandsons Liam and Luke, four times a year- during each season. Spending time with them is a top priority, but there is also the advantage of experiencing the seasons, which we don’t have in Miami. For this Spring, I booked my trip

Garden on the First Day of Spring

Since it’s a rainy day, thought I would post photos of my little herb garden from last week, on the first day of Spring. I have mostly herbs, but also an eggplant and a couple peppers. I also planted a sweet potato that sprouted and some scallions I grew from

Gullah Geechee Banana Bread

I have made many banana breads in my day (and tasted more) and this one ranks up with the best. It is not in any way a healthy banana bread, made with lots of butter and sugar, but it is a delicious treat. The pecans and almond extract give it

Something old, something new

The great thing about having grandchildren (and children) is that you get to see the world through their eyes. Sometimes we forget that these little people “so fresh from God” don’t know about things we take for granted. The other day I took my 9-year old grandson Wyatt to Dadeland
