Blog archive… Enjoy! During my trip to New York for an ordination, I was thrilled to go with some friends to Coney Island. Unlike Cedar Point, which I know and love very much, it has maintained its old style. The rides are visibly outdated, the ticket stands are still old and worn down. I absolutely loved it. Although not reputated as being the best area in all of Brooklyn, I…
Blog archive.. I can’t wait to get back this summer!! I have said for years that I was born about two generations too late. I love anything old, as I expressed in my Coney Island post… As embarrassing as this is to admit, I actually used to volunteer for our town’s historical village during middle school and high school… Yeah, embarrassing.. haha. But don’t worry–I was waaaay too cool…
Brittany’s Funchiladas Ingredients are bulleted. – 3 well-endowed boneless, skinless chicken breasts – 1 8oz can of tomato sauce – 1 cup of salsa (I prefer hot, non chunky, but it’s a matter of preference) – 1 can of Rotel ** Mix the above ingredients in a Crock Pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours** Using two forks, shred the chicken and stir until any liquid is absorbed in…
I spent a loooong time nannying while I was in grad school… It was the perfect grad school job, and I was fortunate to have awesome families that I worked for. I wrote these while I was nannying full time.. Sigh, those were good days…. Yes, I’m posting twice today. Homework is not happening. This is the only other thing I could think of that is semi-productive. I told myself…
I made this Italian Salsa this past spring for a winery tour. The great part is that it can easily be made a few days ahead of time… It is good either warm or cold, and is always a huge hit. One variation is that is can be served on sliced grilled crostini over cold cream cheese. Yum! I wish I could take complete credit for its originality, but it…
This is one of my favorite places in the world… I can’t wait to get back this summer. Enjoy! What a weekend! After getting gridlocked in the DC Beltway thanks to the U.S. Open on Thursday evening, I got gridlocked again on the way back, thanks to an accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike… All with one patient pup in the back seat… Never a dull moment on my car…
1) Crush up Ritz crackers and put it in one bowl. 2) Beat an egg and put it in another bowl. 3) Dip cauliflower in egg and then in the cracker crumbs 4) Pan fry in EVOO Allow your life to be changed. Oh. My. Gosh. One variation that would be pretty awesome would be to put a bit of parmesan cheese in with the crackers for a little extra…

A wise person once told me that a good cook is never without friends. I have found this to be true, especially when it comes to appetizers. These babies, which I will add to my recipes tab for your future reference, are an original of mine and have always been a hit when I’ve made them. My sister even texted me for the recipe last weekend and made them all…
Blog archive! Enjoy! Every so often a conceited baker needs a little humility in her life. That happened to me last night. I am going to let you in to a little secret. As if my last post didn’t entirely make you think that I’m a Type A freak, allow me to confirm any suspicions with today’s post. I have a little ritual that happens just about every day…
