During my years as a food writer, I seldom endorse products. But one came along this week I thought readers should know about. The McCormick® folks just came out with a line called Recipe Inspirations, packets that include pre-measured McCormick® spices and herbs and a collectible recipe card. With just a few of your own [...]

The headline describes me to a tee, but it is also the name of a book I’m featuring in my Cookbook Corner column Saturday. Even though “A Passion for Pasta” by Polly Clingerman is 20 years old, it contains some great recipes and since I didn’t have space to include all of my top picks [...]

It is not unusual for me to have breakfast fare such as bacon, eggs and hash browns for dinner. In fact, I am far more prone to that than actually having such a meal when I first get up. One of my favorite breakfast-type dishes is a recipe from an old cookbook titled, “Cooking With Bon [...]

Since cabbage has been on my mind the past week, perhaps because St. Patrick’s Day is Wednesday, thought I would share yet one more recipe that is a particular favorite of mine and also easy to prepare. The recipe comes from a cookbook I featured in my Cookbook Corner column about thee years ago titled, “Grace [...]

I thought I would end the week with a great dessert recipe from last year’s August/September issue of Taste of Home magazine. I had made this tasty recipe for my brother when he was down for a visit last summer and he loved it. Since I’m going to Spokane for this weekend, he emailed that [...]

Renee Leary of Citrus [...]

Broccoli salad is one of my favorites and I often find myself craving it, regardless of the season. This week was one of those times so I bought a container at Safeway’s deli. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever tasted so decided the next time I was in one of those food moods, would make [...]

I am featuring the new “2010 Food and Wine Annual Cookbook in Saturday’s Cookbook Corner column and since there were so many good recipes in this current publication, decided to share some on the blog. I have gotten this annual cookbook for years and usually the recipes are a bit sophisticated. But this is not the [...]

Although the recipe I’m sharing today came from the March issue of Bon Appetit, it was on a page advertising Newman’s Own® Pasta Sauces. Even though it calls for chicken, not one of my favorites, I thought it sounded good. The other reason I thought it was a good recipe to share with readers, it only [...]

While I’m on a seafood kick, thought I would share a recipe I received Thursday from the Burrell Group Ltd., a New York City-based media group. The fajita recipe sounded good to me, unusual in my case since it also appeared to be healthy. I like fish crispy and this one appears to accomplish that goal [...]
