Vacation Videos – Better late then never!

September 2, 2007

This post isn’t about food – just an FYI of sorts. I am a bit technologically impaired. Really – I am! Now, I can find my way around programs, create fancy charts and tables, and tinker around blogger, but that’s about it. So, you can imagine my trepidation when my sister bought my my digital […]

August 27, 2007

I saw these brownies on Joe’s blog and knew they were a must. The office ladies and Health teacher were very excited and pleased.

Grilled Vegetables and Ricotta Frittata

August 26, 2007

Troppo Buono!/Too Good! This dinner had so many delicious elements that I was sad to see an empty plate. I first grilled vegetables when I made a Grilled-Gazpacho Sauce.
