I shared this recipe a few years ago. I am bringing it back for a few reasons. We technically into soup season with cool mornings and nights and hopefully warm afternoons. What better way to use up a few of the last veggies harvested from your garden. My husband LOVES this chowder and lastly I was crazy busy last week. My BFF KP got married … Continue reading Harvest Chowder
Pre Covid we used to head North to Montreal which is about a 4 hour trip bt car at least 3 or 4 times a year for the last several years. We haven’t been back but miss it so.

I just pulled them so … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard with Sweet Italian Sausage

Very easy to make, a one … Continue reading Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Squash
Current situation is enjoying a cup of tea looking out over Megansett Habor in North Falmouth.

And if you haven’t you can too … Continue reading Cacio e Pepe with Shrimp
Are there some recipes you’ve always wanted to try but never do thinking they are too hard or there’s an ingredient you don’t love so you stay away? This is one of those that sounded cool but I am not a fan of mushrooms and it felt or more appropriately sounded a little above my pay grade. I couldn’t have been more wrong, it was … Continue reading Coq Au Vin
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I know it’s a little early for fresh corn around here; but it’s coming soon enough! We prepped the gardens but we don’t start planting until this weekend. We have had some crazy frost this year so much so that a few of our trees had their leaves shrivel up and fall off.

Everyone is doing well; she is a healthy beautiful little girl and I am so excited for the new parents and all the adventures they will have. It is super sweet to see my son who is a pretty big guy holding his tiny little daughter, melts my … Continue reading Cabbage and Sausage soup
