Insanely Chocolaty CookiesPlain and simple... I think I just found the BEST tasting chocolate cookie ever and of course, I had to share it with you. Well I had a little help actually.

Budwig Diet SmoothieSomeone turned me on to Dr. Johanna Budwig recently. I read a bit about her research and her diet online. While there isn't a lot of hard evidence behind it, she was definitely ahead of her time in recognizing the importance of good fats, and the harmful effects of bad fats, in our modern diets. She strongly encouraged the… |

Gold Medal Best Ever Banana BreadI make a lot of banana bread because my kids and husband both love it. I've tried a lot of different recipes, but have found none better that this slight adaptation of the one on the back of the General Mills Gold Medal flour bag.

Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip CookiesThis is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe, despite my complete willingness to flirt with other recipes. Based on King Arthur's Triple Play Peanut Butter Cookies, it is seriously peanutty, which I appreciate, and the sprinkled grey sea salt on top elevates it to new heights. Thick and chewy and just downright delicious. |

The kids definitely preferred this one, though the adults were more evenly split. Easy to make and perfect for a large BBQ party! The picture didn't turn out very well, but… |

Flavorful Grilled ShrimpThis is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes. You can serve this over pasta (which we did the other night), as an appetizer with a variety of dipping… |
