I had planned to make my Cincinnati Chili recipe, the one I have used for decades, the one in my mom’s recipe box. But, as I started, I heard my oldest daughter in my head telling me that she recently made the greek “chili” that Cincinnati chili was based on, and preferred it. So, I…

Pasta with Sweet-Roasted Butternut Squash and Kale – Revisited
I have been revisiting some of my early posts. Tonight I made this pasta with sweet-roasted butternut squash and kale. It was delicious, was a big hit for dinner. The only difference was that this time I omitted the half and half. As I thought, it ends up that it really wasn’t a necessary ingredient….
Persian Noodle Soup (Ash-e Reshteh)
My husband and I love soups. My son, on the other hand, is not a soup lover; he’s not even a soup taster, soups are just a no-go for him. So, when he left for Outdoor School on a cold dreary day, I checked my cupboards and, yes!, I had what I needed to make…
Salmon Candy Pasta with Egg
Now that we live in the Pacific Northwest, we are quickly becoming addicted to what is referred to here as ‘salmon candy.’ It is often an alder-smoked version I buy at the farmer’s market. And I now know the difference a belly cut makes – chewier, but much higher energy content. But the salmon I…
Smoked Salmon Creamy Pasta with a Kick
When we came to visit Portland last year, we discovered The Smokery at the Portland Farmers Market. Last weekend, we tasted their Old Irish smoked salmon…all it took was one bite, this was the perfect mix of smoke with a touch of sweet. In addition to eating it ‘straight,’ I decided to make it as…
Slow-cooker Beef Ragu
During my Levy Court campaign, pretty much the only type of cooking I did was in the crock pot – slow cooking. The only free time I had was at the very beginning of the day, and that only for about 15 minutes. So, that meant it needed to be recipes with very little preparation…
Butternut Squash Lasagna Roll Ups
Time to use another section of my giant crookneck squash. I roasted about 2/3 of the neck and since I only needed 2 1/2 cups of pulp, it was still too much , so I will need to find another use for the couple of extra cups of pulp. Since even just the plain roasted…
Pasta with Collard Greens and Onions
I really never thought I would be cooking collard greens, or even stranger, growing it – and lots of it! Nor that I would find collard green dishes that are kosher and healthy and that even my 7 year old would eat – which he did! (although he did call this spicy, so less red pepper…
Fettuccini with Corn and Tomatoes
I have two farmers that I buy sweet corn from, Freeman’s in Lewes and Filasky’s in Middletown. They are each heads and shoulders above any other corn I have ever had. Which I buy simply depends on whether I am in the southern or northern end of the state the day I am buying corn….
Corn, Edamame & Tomatoes with Pasta and Basil Oil
If it was a little later in the season, all the vegetables except the corn would be from my garden. But I couldn’t wait that long, so the corn is from Preston, Maryland, the tomatoes from Highland Orchards, the edamame is frozen, but the scallions and basil ARE from my garden. This is such a…
