	Peach Galette by Susan Here is a very easy way with fruit, a rustic galette that is really just a free-form panless pie. Galettes can be savory or sweet, the crust doesn’t have sugar in it, just a little sprinkled on the top. You don’t have to be a master baker to perfect this pastry, and best of all, it keeps beautifully. You can refrigerate any leftovers…	0 votes 475 views
	Crab Spread Crostini by Susan Crab Spread CrostiniIt’s a good bet that most home cooks have several favorite ways to use good crabmeat and here is one of mine. Nicely seasoned, but still letting the crab be the star—this spread could also be a dip with pita chips or as the bottom layer in a really special bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. The crostini method…	0 votes 530 views
	Spicy Beef and Asparagus Stir Fry by Susan Spicy Beef and Asparagus Stir FryA stir-fry is a celebration of so much that I like about cooking. I like to prepare things in advance, and so the requisite chopping and measuring of all ingredients before you stir-fry isn’t a chore, but a source of satisfaction as I see those little dishes and stacks of prepared ingredients take…	0 votes 469 views
	Bibb Lettuce Wedges with Avocado Dressing by Susan Here it is Labor Day weekend and another summer winds to a close. Even here in sunny, hot Florida, a feeling comes into the air this weekend that we are transitioning into another season. A lightening of congestion in our tourist areas, a return to school for kids, a resumption of work routines for the adults—and the promise of…	0 votes 531 views
	Milky Way Cake by Susan Leafing through old recipe files and card boxes is one of my pastimes when I’m looking for a little cooking inspiration. And since my mother’s birthday was July 4th and that’s the menu I’m planning, I found myself once again flipping through her recipe box and found this gem. This is one of those recipes that you might read and say,…	0 votes 2857 views
	Roast Pork Loin and Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic by Susan A cup of tea, a great novel and the aroma of a roast cooking in the oven—the perfect ingredients for a rainy weekend afternoon at home. That’s the way I spent my Sunday a couple of weeks ago when I made this very tasty roast pork loin with potatoes. The recipe is adapted from one in Bon Appetit’s June feature about Brunello Cucinelli,…	0 votes 1212 views
	Buttermilk Pancakes by Susan My husband hasn’t ever actually confessed to this, but I know that his favorite meal is breakfast. I have known him for 25 years and there are clues. First, he always eats breakfast—and with gusto—oatmeal, berries with yogurt and granola, toast with butter and jam—some combination of these every single workday. If, some morning, we…	0 votes 362 views
	Crustless Breakfast Pie by Susan Some weekend mornings in our household are mad dashes out the door for a sporting event, the farmer’s market, to run errands, shop or get somebody where they need to be. Others are blissfully lazy, quiet hours at home to read the newspaper, watch the morning news and political programs, or just dabble one’s toes in the pool and…	0 votes 672 views
	Spring Green Vegetable Sauté by Susan Spring Green Vegetable SautéIn the kitchen certainly, it takes just a little effort to make the ordinary a little more special. Asparagus in the spring is so readily available and so versatile that I find myself buying it at least once a week and frequently more. To change it up a little bit, sometimes I cut the spears into pieces and…	0 votes 356 views
