Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

October 19, 2012

  From now until next summer you can find me eating soup by the bucket load.  Ok, fine.  Maybe I’m ever so slightly exaggerating.  I’m not totally certain about my ability to eat a bucket of soup….well, at east in one sitting.  But, I do really, really, reeeaaalllly love soup!  Enough that I could eat [...]

Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette & A Fall Salad

October 9, 2012

  I was trying to remember the last time I bought bottled dressing.  The best guess I could come up with, is maybe two years ago.  It’s been so long, I really can’t even remember.  Clearly, it’s not something I miss buying.  For me, dressing fall into the category of ‘why buy it, when you [...]

Guacamole

March 30, 2012

Last night I left work with a plan.  God forbid a day goes by that I don’t have a plan.  Yes, I’m a planner….I thrive on planning.  But, I digress.  My post-work plan was to head over to Central Park to run a few steady loops around the bridle path (I just got into the [...]

Foodbuzz 24×24: The Night Thomas Keller Came to My House for Dinner

March 25, 2012

Small confession…Thomas Keller didn’t actually come to my house for dinner.  Maybe you already guessed that.  If not, I’m sorry to disappoint.  Really, I am, because it would be awesome if I was telling you about my evening of food, wine and conversation with Chef Keller.  A night like that would easily go down as one [...]
