What do we love more than summer vacation? The foods of summer, of course! Fall is just around the corner and these final days of summer must be met with celebration, sunshine and outdoor feasts. Our idea of the ultimate summer BBQ is an array of fresh catches and grilled delicacies that all come together on our signature, summertime pattern...
It's that time of year again - Easter; the time when peeps line the shelves of every grocery store and pharmacy. It's that time of the year when you think to yourself, "those are pretty darn cute but I've never liked peeps." The ONLY way to eat peeps, in my opinion, is to blow them up in the microwave until...

Here in the Northeast the weather has been playing ping pong with us. It's mainly been warm (relative to what we're used to experiencing this time of year) with cold snaps that chill you to the bone. It is this time of year when butternut squash and other hearty vegetables are still in season. So, why not make yourself some...

My dad usually wins, and my mother usually...
I've been on a Mini Doughnut kick for the past couple of weeks. I mean, how can you not LOVE these adorable little morsels of absolute deliciousness?! Not to mention, they're not fried - so they're a little better for me... right? Right. So it's totally okay that I've had three dozen in the past 24 hours... right? Well, it...
OoooOOOooooo! Kick the classic dipped strawberries up a notch this Halloween by dipping them in white chocolate for a ghostly dessert! It's so easy to do! Just melt white chocolate chips in the microwave for two minutes, stir smooth with a spoon, dip your strawberries, and let cool on parchment paper. To add the faces melt some semi sweet chocolate...
It's that month! And unlike the rest of the US of A I've held off on posting anything about Halloween until October officially began. (Okay, I'm one day early.) It amazes me how each year commercial holidays get displayed earlier and earlier in store windows. This year I was shocked when I saw an add for Christmas advertisements at the...

But we mixed a few other favorites into the menu as well. Here's what we offered: *Cucumber sandwiches *Scones and cream *Fruit salad *Refreshing...
