I had peaches on my shopping list, because it is peach season. However, the ones I found did not look fresh or ripe, and had no smell to them. I am not sure what that is all about, but like a store-bought tomatoes there was no flavor. So what to do? I went through the market … [Read more...] about Plum Tart

Gourmet S’mores
Another chocolate recipe; no one is more surprised than I am, but when you find a fun recipe it needs to be memorized. It is really easy. Easy is my favorite kind of recipe. Since I can’t eat graham crackers or chocolate (they both contain soy), I felt compelled to write about my … [Read more...] about Gourmet S’mores
Chicken Pesto Pasta
I vacillated about publishing this post. I thought you may appreciate it or I might lose all credibility. Then I thought this is a peek into the way I live so I am posting it.

French Tarragon Chicken
I was looking for another way to fix chicken. I love chicken most any way. Roasted is my favorite, but it’s summer and I did not want to heat up the house. So what to do?

Easy Focaccia with Sesame Seeds
I got through jury duty without having to serve. I am happy, but totally out of kilter. The good news is you go on-line and check to see if your number is called to see if you are needed. So you no longer have to physically go to court and sit around. The bad news is you have to … [Read more...] about Easy Focaccia with Sesame Seeds
Greek Salad
When you have food sensitivities you must have a plan. I just received a summons for jury duty. If I am chosen I need a plan to where and what I am going to eat. I don’t want to have to focus on food when I need to be focused on something else. I decided to make a bowl of Greek … [Read more...] about Greek Salad
Apricot Tart
Time to make Apricot Tart. When I was growing up I was not impressed with apricots. I was a peaches girl. When I think of apricots I think of my Dad and how he loved them so much. I remember him opening a can of apricots and he would eat them right out of the can. Mom would fuss … [Read more...] about Apricot Tart
