    For Pie Lover's Only!

    I come from a family of unabashed pie lovers. A homemade pie was always preferred to cake for birthdays and such, and we never missed a strawberry-rhubarb, cherry, blueberry, or peach pie season. When the snap of fall came calling, Mom’s apple pie took center stage and was truly other-worldly, but so was she.

  • It's time you learn a new cooking technique, Sous Vide.
    September 30, 2020 Frankie F.

    It's time you learn a new cooking technique, Sous Vide.

    Don't let the strange name fool you. Sous Vide (pronounced sue-veed) translates as "under vacuum" in French. The beauty (and secret) of sous vide cooking is that you cook your food sealed in a heat proof bag or pouch that is then submersed in hot water and kept at the desired temperature. It 's a great method of cooking that you shouldn't overlook or be intimidated by, especially with the new sous vide cooking appliances available now.

    As promised, though it seems like a lifetime ago, here’s my post about some tasty cuts of steak and an online butcher worth a try.

    I started working on this post in back in early March with the intention of posting it early to give folks plenty of time to order their steaks for Father's Day. Well, a pernicious little virus upended everything in a hurry.

    No-Bake Peanut Butter Zebra Bars

    This easy dessert is a pantry favorite - peanut butter, chocolate chips, graham crackers and a little powdered sugar are all you need to make this fun and delicious treat. Add a few kids for a bit more fun!

    It's kind of like a Reese's cup, just in a bar format. We love the rich peanut butter filling topped with striped chocolate - and on top of all that it's NO-BAKE! So, whether you're baking with kids or just need a quick dessert for tonight that's sure to please, this recipe is a winner.

    Elegant Asparagus & Parmesan Puff Pastry Tart

    This perfect veggie tart for Spring is easy, elegant and tasty. Using frozen puff pastry from the grocery store is THE way to get great pastries with very little effort. In this recipe we layered Dijon mustard, Parmesan & mozzarella cheeses and blanched asparagus on top of puff pastry dough and baked for 15 minutes to get a fantastically flaky, cheesy Spring tart perfect for Mother's Day or any get together.

From working the dough to the one-of-a-kind smell that fills the house and, that first warm slice slathered with butter, homemade bread is the definition of comfort food.

    Tequila, Beyond Margarita(ville)

    We're offering three tequila cocktails that go way beyond the standard Margarita. Don't get me wrong I love a good fresh-squeezed Margarita but tequila has a lot more to offer if you care to venture off the beaten bath. First up, a little about the different types of tequila. Enjoy these agave spirits mixed up or sipped straight up.
