Chicken Tacos with Apple and Pecans

For the last two years I just can’t seem to eat enough apples. I’m not sure if there have been extraordinary harvests or maybe I am just going through a taste phase! I eat one or two apples every day and try to cook with them as much as possible and sometimes just sauté slices [...]

Blue Crab Boil

A few weeks ago my husband came home from work with a surprise for me, a plastic bag filled with live Blue Crabs. Oh yea, that’s what I want to see at 5pm after a rather stressful day, a big bag of live sea creatures. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but sometimes I do [...]

Radiatori Pasta with Goat Cheese, Sausage and Tomatoes

Radiatori is a relatively new pasta shape, first coming on the market between 1930-40.

Chicken Tacos with Guacamole Sauce

Spaghetti-Os **Rated PG-13

I’ve been having so much fun using different pasta shapes and this time I decided to try Anellini Pasta which might be better known as the “O” in Spaghetti-Os! But this is not canned SpaghettiOs that most children seem to love, this is definitely an “adult” recipe. Now I do enjoy my pasta and could [...]

Cashew Chicken With Broccoli

Well it’s finally March and I am now beginning to see the end to another long, hard winter. Although I did live in Florida for a while, most of my life I lived in colder climates known for their winters. When we moved to Chicago, all I heard was “oh you just wait, you’ve never [...]
