Beef and Andouille Burgers with Asiago CheeseWith another little one on the way, I've been trying out lots of new ideas and recipes for quick meals: sandwiches, pastas, burgers, etc. By the time my tiny one arrives in September, I'm hoping to have a nice repertoire of quick meals so we can keep eating delicious food while taking care of our new little girl and her big sister...… |

Composed Salad of Mixed Greens, Goat Cheese and Caramelized PecansEven though Mother's Day is already almost a month behind us, I'm still trying to find time to dig into the gift my husband got me (best husband ever!). He got me 4 books - not cookbooks, but books known for their exquisite passages on food. Two are… |

Welcome summer: Lobster rollsI love lobster. As a kid I loved tearing into a whole steamed lobster, starting with the claws and ending by sucking the meat out of each little leg. My dad probably did most of the work... It reminds me of summer vacations on Martha's Vineyard and in Maine, where those yummy red creatures always held a starring role.Lately, lobster… |

Ricotta and spinach ravioli with butter and sageI don't often tout other companies and services here, but as a cookbook lover, I have become obsessed with Eat Your Books. It's a web-based service that catalogs thousands of cookbooks by recipe and ingredient. I have 140 cookbooks, more than most people, but a lot less than some collectors. Digging thru them for ideas is a… |

Goat cheese and tomato tartsLast weekend, we rented the latest Mission Impossible flick. Not really a movie that'll go down as one of the greats but I don't mind Tom Cruise and I was reminded of the old MI series I liked as a kid... But it brought to mind the fact that I'm on a mission. And this time I'm serious about it. I have a lot of cookbooks; maybe not as… |

Slow and smoky barbecued brisketThe past week has been chock full of wildlife - and for once I don't mean my little monkey of a 21-month old. One morning last week, Jeff got her out of bed and brought he into the kitchen and immediately went running out the backdoor. A deer had made an appearance. She was pointing and saying "deer" in her cute little voice as daddy… |

Chicken Thighs and Olive-Fennel Salad with Grilled Lemon SlicesI do make sure I keep work in the office as much as possible so there is some line between work and play. And I no longer mind those evening calls because I still get to see my little one in between. I don't know who invented working from home, but I… |

Butternut squash risottoMy mission to get my 21-month old eating new foods continues. (She's winning.) As a foodie, I refuse to give in, so I simply blame teething. She did just get her bottom canines and the top ones remain a work in progress, so meals have been a challenge of late. One dinner last week consisted of a piece of bread with butter (she calls… |

Peruvian Beef KabobsSpring came early in NJ. For two weeks solid, it was 75 degrees out. For me, the weather presented a test of discipline. See, I just started a new job that allows me to work full time from home. As I sat in my home office with the window open, warm breeze blowing in, it was a true test to stay put and focus on training and work. But I… |

Truffled Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese with Crispy PancettaWe spent a week last fall on Martha's Vineyard - just the three of us. It was a fabulous relaxing week. We enjoyed a lot of local seafood, but one of the most memorable for my husband was the lobster mac 'n' cheese he had at the Newes Pub in Edgartown. It was creamy and cheesy with big chunks of lobster. So, when we got home, I had to… |
