My wonderful husband bought me some sourdough starter for my birthday. I have made buckwheat hazelnut raisin flutes, which were wonderful. I decided to try a sourdough challah for thanksgiving weekend. I am using Maggie Glazer’s My Sourdough Challah from her book A Blessing of Bread. Since Cam was home when I made it, we made a…

Cauliflower, Tomato & Feta Frittata
Frittatas are a favorite food in our house. Second only to vegetable hashes topped with eggs.I mean, really, what’s not to love? Eggs, vegetables and, typically, cheese. So good, we tend to dive in before I can take a decent picture… I had bought a locally grown cauliflower. These are so big that the quart…
Butternut Squash Chili with Corn
Time again to use one of the butternut squash from my garden (somehow the crate of squash does not seem to be getting smaller). I peeled it and cut it up to use in a healthy chili. I love chili, all types of chili. Red chilis, white chilis, black bean chilis, leftover turkey chili, Cincinnati chili. Chili…
Tapas Cooking Class in Barcelona
What was the best meal my daughters and I had in Barcelona? It was, surprisingly, the one we and our fellow students made at Barcelona Cooking. We arrived to this beautiful workspace… Then we met our fellow students and instructor, and were divided into pairings for each tapa. I was paired with a lovely woman…
Sweet Potato Waffles with Marshmallows

We picked up some eggplants and some delicious salad dressing that his wife made. I used a could of the eggplants with a…
Chard and Sweet Corn Tacos
We had our first frost last night. So the two ears of Filasky’s corn that were in my fridge were probably my last local corn of the year. I paired them with some swiss chard from my garden in Martha Rose Shulman’s tacos. It is a sad time of year in my garden; things are…
Cabbage, Kale & Carrot Latkes
A latke recipe? in October? Really? Who says latkes are only for Hanukkah? Not me. Pan-fried patties made of vegetables are good any day, especially when the combination of the vegetables results in such a pretty color palette. As I have mentioned, the kale in my garden has escaped the jaws of the groundhog. Looking…
