Before the Seabury Craft’s Fair

We are gearing up for the annual Seabury Craft’s Fair held annually the Saturday before Mother’s Day. And what does this have to do with a food blog? Well, duh, somebody has to feed the boys so they can do their work! Had a lot of prep work for the fair in terms of our […]

Cinco de Mayo 2014

So we went all day with no real Mexican food and it just seemed wrong. I know Cinco de Mayo is not a real Mexican celebration, although is does commemorate one battle’s victory, having grown up in California it was always noted. It was time for an afternoon snack (that actually was filling enough for […]

Well, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that means turkey and all the trimmings. Turkey is best when it has been brined for a couple of days. This helps to make the turkey really moist. You can get as creative as you want with your brine. Just start with the basics – salt and […]

May 2nd, 2011

Today feels a little off. Maybe it’s just Monday, but I don’t have the motivation to weed eat the yard OR take the dog for a walk. I think I’m better off to just shower, have some breakfast and get to work. For breakfast this morning we were contemplating having the Snow Crab we bought […]

Brining The Bird

Just when you thought there were no more holiday recipes you could look at – oops I did it again! As far as I am concerned there is no bird like a brined bird. Brining a bird takes little effort, yet adds the most incredible WOW to your meal. Of coarse, for me, once it […]

Kale (Lacinato or Dino) Salad

I was recently in Southern California for a most wonderful visit with family over the Thanksgiving weekend. One of the salads that I made was my very favorite kale salad. There are many wonderful attributes about this salad that I enjoy. First of all it only has 6 ingredients (5 if you leave out the […]
