I love parsley…but I will admit that I often find it difficult to use up an entire bunch. Inevitably there are a few leftover sprigs which look a bit sad & wilted. You certainly could toss these into the compost. Or you could make Classic Chimichurri Sauce, a tasty & vibrant toping that’ll spice up
When my daughter was little, she LOVED pancakes…any kind…any way. To satisfy her “pancake addiction” I was constantly on the hunt for new & exciting pancake recipes to try. Banana pancakes, lemon pancakes, cinnamon roll pancakes, pumpkin pancakes, cornmeal pancakes, gingerbread pancakes, apple pancakes, sourdough pancakes…you name it…I made it! So, when I come across
They say there are five love languages – words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, gifts & physical touch. But I will argue for a sixth – pizza…or any derivation thereof!! I do love pizza.

All parts of it can be eaten from the crisp white bulb to the feathery dill-like fronds. And it can be prepared
If you’ve paid any attention to the weather forecast, you’ll see that, by Thurs., nighttime temperatures will drop close to freezing. For us home gardeners it means that the time has come to harvest all of your warm weather crops – tomatoes, peppers, zucchini & basil. Speaking of basil…if your plants did as well as
There’s something really comforting & homey about a classic tomato pasta dish. And when that tomato sauce gets a boost in both flavor & aroma from an unlikely ingredient like vodka…well, you’ve got a homerun meal! Here’s to Pasta alla Vodka featuring a rich, creamy, smooth, savory sauce perfect for a simple, yet amazingly flavorful

My mind went immediately to “Why ruin a perfectly good coleslaw with pickle juice?!!” But then I remembered Dr. Seuss & “Green Eggs & Ham“. I made it, I tried it…and whatya know…I liked it! This Dill Pickle Coleslaw makes
This delish recipe came to life in the 1950’s in Tel Aviv. Traditionally a breakfast sandwich, it was named “sabich” after the Arabic word for “morning”. Observant Jews who followed the rule to not cook after sundown on Friday could prepare all components of this sandwich in advance, and then eat it before heading to
