Pumpkin Loaves. This recipe is from the first cookbook I obtained as an adult, well if you consider 19 adulthood. I did way back then, but of course that was before I had kids of my own. The book needs to go to a book binder and be put back together. It is so well used it’s […]
Eggs, toast, and roasted asparagus all in one pan and perfect for a freezing-cold morning breakfast. The snow is back and it was unpredicted.

Food words are often mispronounced. I attribute this to the fact that so many of the foods we enjoy are not “American”.

I first discovered them when visiting the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market back in the summer while here on a visit. After we completed our move I ventured out to […]
Schiacciata Al Rosmarino is Italian for Flat Bread with Rosemary. I am enjoying the challenge of learning how to spell Schiacciata! A flat pizza-type bread, Schiacciata originates in the Tuscan area of Italy. Commonly sprinkled with olive oil and salt just before baking, additional herbs bring a welcome flavor to the otherwise rather plain bread. […]
