It’s no secret around here that I’m a big fan of cheese. Whether it’s in gooey sandwiches like this one or mixed into salads like this one or in cheesy chorizo dips too. I love cheese. And thus, my lust of cheese makes it even more exciting that once again this year I'll be ... continue reading... about Kennebunkport Lobster Grilled Cheese and Grilled Cheese Academy Contest

Friday Faves
"So, how's your weather?" You know how when you talk to people of "a certain age", the talk always comes back around to the weather? "Can you believe this snow?" "We haven't had a summer this hot that I can remember." And mom, I'm not talking about you, we can still gab ... continue reading... about Friday Faves
Filet Mignon with Porcini Mushroom Compound Butter
I bet it started in the ‘50s. Maybe the ‘40s even. Of course I could be wrong, but it seems to me a perfect timeline fit. Back when sips of bourbon-and-bitters-based Manhattans and nibbles of caviar topped deviled eggs started the meal and Baked Alaska ended it and The Joy of ... continue reading... about Filet Mignon with Porcini Mushroom Compound Butter
Crushing on Ashley McLaughlin of Edible Perspective and Boston Cream Doughnuts Plus a Giveaway
Ashley McLaughlin started her blog Edible Perspective in 2009, out of sheer boredom. She knew nothing about photography and not much more about cooking. Now she's a food blogging cookbook author and knows a thing or two about these gluten-free Boston Cream Doughnuts. Why? Because ... continue reading... about Crushing on Ashley McLaughlin of Edible Perspective and Boston Cream Doughnuts Plus a Giveaway

Garlicky Avocado Grilled Cheese with Tomato Pesto
I'd have to admit, this post is all about the goo. And maybe a little avocado to compliment the garlicky plot. I love cheese. And if you've followed this blog for a nanosecond you'd know why. Maybe thanks to this and this and this. We all have our weaknesses. But ... continue reading... about Garlicky Avocado Grilled Cheese with Tomato Pesto
Gluten-Free Quinoa and Cauliflower Chowder
Do you have your megaphone ready? I'm digging my husband's out of the garage. Yep, he has a megaphone because he's in a band, you know, for "special effects" and stuff. He also has these weirdo 1960's goggles and a suit covered in Christmas lights—because he's in a band. But ... continue reading... about Gluten-Free Quinoa and Cauliflower Chowder
Friday Faves
Happy Fri-fri to the TGIF! Another week down the drain and I for one and a happy camper to see it happen. And now, I need your help friends. See, I’m a fan of my Friday Faves. And I hear from you guys that you like it too. But each week I’m in flux with how to write it up. I ... continue reading... about Friday Faves
Citrus Fennel and Avocado Salad
It’s no secret I like to eat. It would be abnormal—in my humble opinion—to have a food blog and not enjoy the feasting it's bounty produces. I stand firmly in the make and munch camp. While I do consider myself a semi-foodie, I’m not really a whole foodie. I'm not hard core ... continue reading... about Citrus Fennel and Avocado Salad
Buffalo Chicken Fettuccine
Lazy, dazy comfort food days. That's what weekends are made of. And that's when my man takes charge in the kitchen. I've told you before about how my guy (I call him G-Dawg, because we're gangstas like that) makes appearances here on the blog as a pretty good hand model, a ... continue reading... about Buffalo Chicken Fettuccine
5 Food Blogs I’m Following Now
Spring is in the air—whether Mother Nature will admit to it or not aka GO AWAY POLAR VORTEX—and with every hint of spring like weather I get the accompanying compulsion to clean out the old and bring in the new. I’m often asked about new blogs I’ve discovered, who I’m reading ... continue reading... about 5 Food Blogs I’m Following Now
Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
So here's a question for you. When you were a kid, why did savory foods always get segregated from one another and how come it never was—and still isn't—the case with sweets? Remember when you didn't like your food to touch each other? How the lunch room divided trays were a ... continue reading... about Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Crab Spaghetti with Lemon Gremolata
Simple yet elegant, this Crab Spaghetti is pure comfort food with a high brow touch—because who doesn't find comfort in twirling pasta around the big old clumps of sweetly lush lump crab. If there's one thing you want to eat in it's lumpiest form, it's crab. Take my word ... continue reading... about Crab Spaghetti with Lemon Gremolata
