Eggs Benedict Salad with Casatiello Torpedoes

I first made Casatiello Bread several years ago when I was baking my way through the book “Bread Baker’s Apprentice” by Peter Reinhart and we just loved this bread. It’s just so darn good but Peter’s recipes are too large for two people so I’ve been experimenting and simplifying the recipe to suit our needs. Sometimes [...]

Fresh Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Okay Mother Nature, you showed me your power but now it’s time for some thoughts of sunshine and warm summer days.

Meatball Salad

Well it happened again! Mr. Tastebuds was watching his Saturday cooking shows and I happened to wander into the family room to rest a minute and I found some inspiration for another great dish.

Hot Dog Salad

I dearly love my husband but sometimes I truly wonder what influences his decision making because I’m pretty sure it’s not me. I know Mr. Tastebuds was born in Rome and came to the United States when he was a mere two years old. He grew up in Chicago and started working for IBM while [...]

Pear, Apple, Goat Cheese and Salted Pecan Salad

Pears are one of my favorite fruits, yet I don’t serve them as much as I should. And when I saw the recipe for Tyler Florence’s Frisée with Pears, Goat Cheese, and Salted Pecans salad I immediately bookmarked it! But the bookmarking took place well over a year ago.
