We are almost halfway through September, and the temperatures have not started to drop yet here in Florida. Although I enjoy the hot summer temperatures, I am looking forward to cooler nights for sleeping. We are still grilling our meals frequently, though, as who wants to spend hours in the kitchen on a hot day?...

Asparagus cooks quickly no matter how you prepare it, but this easy recipe can be prepared in minutes and makes a delicious crispy side with LOTS of flavor. I enjoy asparagus...

Eggplant Parmesan is a favorite in my house, and I could make it every week with no complaints. As delicious as this eggplant dish is, it isn’t that attractive on a plate.

I woke up to find a blanket of snow covering the world yesterday. Although very pretty, I just wasn’t ready for snow in November! Luckily the temperatures are too warm for the snow to last long, and I expect it to have entirely melted in a day or two. I am not a snow lover,...

We eat a lot of vegetables in my house, although we are not presently maintaining a vegetarian diet. Unfortunately, every time I try to go all-vegetarian, I begin to crave seafood or poultry.

We eat a lot of greens in our house, and broccoli rabe or cima di rape, is a particular favorite. I have always prepared it in the traditional manner, which entails chopping the greens, peeling the stems, and then blanching the greens until tender. Once it is tender, it is essential to try and squeeze...

Before we found ourselves in the middle of this pandemic and were ordered to stay home, my husband and I enjoyed venturing out once a week to local restaurants. One evening we ventured out to a restaurant in a small town close to our house, and I ordered a couple of small plates. The one...

Late summer to early fall, fresh legummes begin to show up in our local markets here in Italy. I buy them by the bag full when I can and use them in soup, salads, or simply stew them as I do in this recipe. Fresh beans prepared in this manner are delicious as a side...
