Chocolate Pudding…comfort in a cup. I grew up with the boxed version cooked on the stove top. This homemade version is just as simple to make! Maybe you would like to share?  Or one spoon for each hand. You will want to scrape every last bit out of the cup when you make this. Especially…

The fact that these fries are healthier is almost beside the point – these fries are great on their own, but I say let’s indulge a little and add some bacon and maple-  sour cream. I don’t think the kids will be able to resist! 3 sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 8 wedges 3 slices…

I love butternut squash in any way, shape, or form.  This is a delicious salty-and-sweet dish that was a huge hit!  The pasta was creamy and the bacon added incredible flavor! 3 cups (1-inch) cubed, peeled butternut squash 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary Salt and Pepper Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 6 slices bacon 1 cup thinly…

If you like Pasta e Olio, you are going to love this one!  It’s great when sweet cherry tomatoes are in season, but also good with the cherry tomatoes now because of the concentration of taste and texture when you roast them.  This is very quick to make and it’s really “multo buono”. 3 pints…

We went apple picking this past Sunday to an Orchard in Oldwick, NJ.  When we arrived, hay rides coming and going, a stand roasting fresh corn, and plenty of pumpkins.  Apple Butter, fresh apple cider, homemade jams and mustards all waiting for you!  All the sights and aromas of Fall.  I just bought a quart…

What could be better on a cool Fall day, then to walk into the house with a big pot of Sunday “gravy” simmering on the stove?  I’m easy pleased.  First let’s start with the meat sauce;  this makes a large pot of sauce.  After the lasagne, I have three quarts of sauce to freeze. 5…

The finality of picking the last of what was left in my garden this year (sigh).  Still, we can save the best for last! My son loves these pickled green tomatoes and he’s given me subtle hints recently.  So here is the last of the garden – two quarts of pickled green tomatoes.  No processing…

I have to put this recipe under the “Chicken Pot Pie” category.  A delicious, creamy, chicken and veggie filling, surrounded by flaky, phyllo pastry.  Phyllo dough can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. The only tricky part of this recipe is working with the Phyllo dough.  It dries out very quickly…

I pulled out some of my old recipes today to try and make something different, something I haven’t had it a while.  And there it was…………..Jeannie’s Sausage Pie. 1 prepared pie crust, baked** 1 lb. hot sausage, removed from casing 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1 Rome apple, peeled and…
