I am a horrible food blogger. I’m sorry I’ve been missing so long. No excuses, just an apology.
Should I ever make things happen, I have lots of recipes for you though…
Goat cheese, apple, and honey tartlets
Chicken slovaki and tabbouleh
Swordfish with pesto and fresh tomato sauce
Taco stuffed shells
Crijo-jo
Pictures of our fledgling garden
And, just so this isn’t [...]
Taco stuffed shells
Crijo-jo (a Caribbean sauce for meat)
And, since it’s “that time of year again,” we’re having some really fancy dinners over the next three days.
Chocolate mascarpone mousse, revisited
Cherry and wine sauce over turkey chops
Spicy shrimp fettuccine
Wasabi and mango salmon with forbidden rice
Goat cheese, honey and apple puff pastry
Personal pineapple upside down cakes
For dinner this week, we’re having:
Chicken tamale casserole
Sausage, peppers, and orzo
Lemon chicken with satay sauce
Baked potatoes and chili
“Orange rosemary chicken thing”
But don’t worry! I have some new recipes for you this week too. This week might be a little rough for me (in teacher land, it is dreaded “state testing week,” so just be patient [...]
I whipped these up tonight for dessert but couldn’t resist sampling one before dessert time rolled around. I also couldn’t resist eating any icing that may have found its way out of the icing bowl and on to my finger. The original recipe yeilded 16 cupcakes – I halved to make 8. The halved recipe [...]

I have not disappeared. Work has caught up with me, and I just haven’t had time to work on this website. But I have been cooking!
Coming up soon to make up for my lack of posting…
My mother’s birthday cake – A buttermilk yellow cake with chocolate pastry cream made to resemble something very fun
Moosewood’s cake [...]
This is easily the spiciest thing I’ve made in a long time. It was amazing. I won’t get too graphic, but it was good for our colds in many ways. It was delicious, too. We served ours with rice noodles and it was a great dinner. And, to add to my list of compliments, it [...]
I am not missing. (Insert flashback voice to “Miss Nelson is missing!”) Ahem. I am sick. I have been taking pictures of food and not posting anything. I promise to come back soon.
Merry Christmas everyone! Coming up after Christmas will be some of the things I made *for* Christmas. No cinnamon rolls this year, much to my brothers’ disappointment (and apparently my uncle’s, too.)
However, we will be having:
French Toast Casserole (actually, we had this already this morning, and it was very good!)
Rum cake
Chocolate orange cheesecake
Chocolate Mint Bars
These [...]
For those of you who have asked, I have no formal culinary training. (Just typing that makes me laugh a little bit, actually.) However, I did go to a few cooking classes with a woman named Janet Gaffney, who moved to South Carolina about six years ago. If you’re down there, and she’s cooking, stop [...]

Sorry it’s been sort of quiet around here folks. I haven’t forgotten abot you (in the 6 days or so since I last posted.) I just didn’t cook anything new and exciting this week. (Or rather, I did on Monday, but didn’t take pictures because it was our anniversary dinner and breaking out the camera [...]
