I am not a big fan of store-bought salad dressing just because so many of them have unheard of ingredients and just don’t taste that great.  Many of my clients with sensitive stomachs can’t eat onion and garlic and they are staple ingredients in most dressings too.  So… I thought I would share some easy […]

The weather has been unseasonably warm for Boston but I know the bitter cold is soon to come.  In anticipation of the cold winter nights, I am gearing up for some hearty meals such as roasted pork tenderloin, spicy roasted chicken burgers, and perhaps, even some ribs {gotta treat my growing boys to one of […]

I love gathering recipes of tasty food gifts to make and give or simply to make and eat during the holidays.  I found a wonderful {dark chocolate bark recipe with pistachios, pumpkin seeds and dried cherries}… which makes my mouth water just thinking about it…and another recipe for {SPICY and sweet candied walnuts}, that I thought […]

How lucky am I?  Very, very lucky.  This Sunday I visited with my colleague Ann Kailath to learn more about Indian cooking and share a meal together. Yup, I am very lucky! Ann was born here in the USA. In fact, her parents were working as resident advisors at Stanford University when she was born. Her […]
