I was working in my garden this week trying to find the perfect tomato for a BLT. Okay, it was the ONLY tomato in my garden that was willing to sacrifice its life for my sandwich. (Mother Nature continues to play havoc on my garden this year.) As I plucked this bright red beauty from …

July Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
It is the end of the month which can only mean one thing….it is time to cook the cover of Bon Appetit! July’s issue may be my favorite issue so far this year. It wasn’t that I was completely enamored with the cover recipe (Mint and Cumin Spiced Lamb Chops). I like lamb chops but …
Monday Mourning
Sorry folks, I’m not writing about food today because I am sad. Really sad. I’ve lost someone close to me. Every time I sit down to write, my mind goes directly to him. I think some of you know who I am talking about….Archie Andrews. Sigh. It has been in the papers this past week …

Do you ever get too old to look for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? The arch of the colors make you smile and almost hypnotically start to daydream. I think that is the feeling I now get when I see anything to do with cheese from Wisconsin. My cheese-cation last …
Blaze Pizza-A Fast Casual Way to Enjoy Pizza
There are so many things I love when I go to Chicago. There is the beautiful architecture that tells a new story each time you look at it. There is Lake Michigan that is like an old friend waving me over to say hi. And, of course, a trip to Chicago feels incomplete if I …
Kayem Artisan Sausage: Not All Sausages Are Created Equal
What are your thoughts on artisan sausages? No, I’m not talking about the statue of David by Michelangelo or the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. (Those are artist’s renditions of sausages and not the same thing…and yes…it was immature of me to go there.) If you’ve been trying to figure out what to cook …
