One of the saddest thing about our new “global” community is that rather than people being introduced to new foods regional foods are disappearing. People eat at Don Pablos and think it is real Mexican food, or have pasta at Olive Garden and believe they have experienced Italy.

So, here it is, the first day of fall…80 degrees here in Texas but that isn’t the point..it is now, quite officially…potato soup weather.
I grew up with potato soup. Not this potato soup but my mom’s version..the one SHE grew up with..and she was born in 1918. I hardly ever deviate from that recipe, my […]

Back in the day Mrs. Cleaver and her contemporaries were very likely to serve dinner with a plate of rolls hot from the oven. And those rolls were likely to be cloverleafs.
These are an easy roll to make and most people really like them because the shape is so…home. There is just something about these […]

One of the best things about summer is the grill…and one of the best things about the grill is….GRILLED CHICKEN!
These sandwiches go quickly once the marinating is done. Serve them with freshly fried tortilla chips, some homemade salsa, and plenty of sweet tea.

I used to be an avid okra hater.
After all, I grew up nestled in the historic bosom of eastern Pa. Daintily eating pot pie (wet), Italian hoagies (wet), and Shoofly pie (wet). I nibbled on apple fritters and noshed on pretzels with yellow mustard served from the cart by a guy with […]

I love chocolate pudding. Chocolate mousse is nice, but for pure home comfort food chocolate pudding has to be right up there on the list.
It amazes me how many people grab a box of Jell-o instant when they could so easily have the real thing. Darn Bill Cosby anyway! If I promise to give you […]

Too hot for the oven!
When I bought my stove I bought a huge one with a griddle in the middle. There are many things I dislike about my stove but THAT is not one.

One of the best tastes of summer to me was always my mom;s tomatoes vinaigrette. They were an awesome side dish but I loved them the best spooned on a thick hunk of sourdough as a sandwich.
Incredibly easy, this only works with fresh, ripe, never-been refrigerated tomatoes. Nothing else will do. For best flavor make […]

Here is a sad story with a happy ending..so stick with me.
I went to the grocery store. They had white peaches…RIPE AROMATIC white peaches on sale. I grabbed 13 of them, one for everyone in the house. I mean, who can resist a perfectly ripe peach?
I rarely buy fresh fruit like that. […]
