Fig and Prosciutto Bruschetta

added 28/08/2008 01:30:56

I've always felt like August is the least appreciated month of the year.  People start to think about their summer vacations drawing to a close, and the grocery store switches the contents of its "seasonal aisle" from picnic gear[...]

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pavlovas

O.K., so this is the last post with mention of birthdays for awhile.  I promise.  My mom and brother just had theirs, Eric's is in November, and my dad's isn't until October, so I'll give you all a birthday break for 45 days or[...]

Cream-Filled Cappuccino Doughnuts

I need to apologize to Giada.  Apparently, I was so wrapped up in all of the festivities and goings-on that typically occur during the week following my birthday (in my dreams, that is), that I failed to wish my fellow Leo, Ms.[...]

Provencal Grilled Chicken Salad

From the moment that I finished the first chapter of A Year in Provence several years ago, Peter Mayle became one of my favorite authors.  His easy-to-read stories, mostly set in the south of France, comically detail the slow-paced,[...]

Toasted Almond Tuiles

Some people are great at picking out the perfect gift, while others, well, you just hope that they are not present to see your reaction when you unwrap the woolly holiday-themed sweater with the dancing reindeer motif.  These are the[...]

Rich Chocolate-Coconut Sorbet

For my birthday, Eric took me to Paris.  Well, not that Paris, but the one located about 15 minutes away, smack dab in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip.  Got your attention, didn't I?  If you've never been to the Paris[...]

Happy Birthday to Me (and Julia)

added 16/08/2008 00:41:06

I was always destined to be a cook.  I mean, what other explanation is there for my birthday falling on the same day as the birthday of culinary maven, and part-time spy, Julia Child?  No offense to Ben Affleck, Ethel Barrymore, and[...]

Spiced Baked Apples with Cranberries, Figs, and Raisins

added 13/08/2008 00:35:27

During the first few days of each month, my mailbox is usually stuffed to capacity.  This is not due to bills, catalogs, or even Peanut Butter and Julie fan mail (hey, a blogger can dream).  No, all of my fellow magazine addicts out[...]
