So, we made a Smoked Pork Butt for the first University of Miami football game at our house. A rub was massaged into the pork, apple cider was added to the smoke chips and then it smoked for hours. After going through all the trouble of smoking the Pork Butt,
So I wrote in pencil next to this recipe in my Perfect Scoop cookbook by David Leibowitz: “I really wanna try this.” I finally did and I’m so glad I listened to myself. It has turned into my favorite summertime (or anytime) ice cream because it is semi-healthy (it’s got
So, (as the kids say) it’s been a minute since I’ve blogged. There was an Engagement Party, Christmas, Holidays and life has been crazy. But I did want to write about these Biscotti cookies, my hands-down Best Selling cookies (if I was selling them, which I am not). I always
Even though I didn’t host Thanksgiving this year, I did get the gift of a turkey carcass from my Mom, with which to make Turkey Soup. While the recipe I use, from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, is very simple, making Turkey Soup is a process. But it’s worth it. First

So, this was a definite keeper from my Five-Star Weekend Bookclub Meeting. These roasted nuts are sweet (from maple syrup), savory (from chipotle powder), with a hint of citrus (from orange juice) and a bit of piney herb (from the rosemary). They are glazed to a glossy finish, sticky, sweet
This is the recipe I made from my recent deluge of mangoes. It calls for nuts and raisins, but you can omit either or both. Dried, chopped mango might be a nice substitute for the raisins if you want to “mango” it up. For the type of nut, I would
My sister Kelley made this appetizer for our last Spaghetti Sunday and she makes it a lot. I’ve made it, but it doesn’t turn out as good (maybe because I don’t use enough oil.) There are several advantages to this recipe, which makes a perfect appetizer for a Pasta Dinner.
