With Fall in the air I began hankering for the spicy smells and tastes of Autumn. This pumpkin bread with Nutmeg, Cinnamon and a dash of Vanilla, can be eaten for breakfast, as a dessert, or as a nice accompaniment to afternoon tea!
Ingredients
8 TBS (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter - room t [...]

Pasta a la Caroline
Before there was Sex in the City, with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha, there was me and my friends, one of whom was most assuredly the inspiration for the Charlotte Character. As a group, we spent many evenings together at parties and days traipsing around New York [...]

One of the happy moments on a weekend is waking to fresh baked blueberry muffins, especially when they are baked by my daughter, Jolie. The ingredient list was hard to get from her as she told me she "bakes from the heart." Sounds like how her great-grandmother Nanny Leah used to bake; a little o [...]

I don't even know how many days we've been in Covid quarantine, but it's well over a month now. My teen daughters have been immersed in their screens for weeks, so I thought that if I baked some sugar cookies and made some icing they would be lured into the kitchen for a fun mother-daughter creati [...]

- Here's a little something I whipped up last week. I wanted to make a corn based recipe but I didn't want a chowder or typical corn bread. I already have a corn salad on my blog, so I decided it was time to experiment with my cobbler batter. Cobblers are sooooooo easy and always a c [...]

- As spring works it's way into the mountain valley where I live, I can see the first signs of my garden coming to life. Small little shoots that will turn into garlic scapes, onions and allium, poke thru the weary winter soil. The purple crocus's with their yellow faces are starting to op [...]

- This muffin recipe is pretty fool proof. I've made them a million times and it's never turned out badly. It's also pretty flexible! You can omit the chocolate chips. You can add 1/2 cup of peanut butter. You can add ground flax seed instead of wheat germ. You can experi [...]

- With Thanksgiving, (my all time favorite holiday), just around the corner, it's time to pull out my turkey recipes and decide which to use this year. Over the years, most turkey chefs have experimented with various ways to make the all important turkey, a meal that must impress, in the pressure fil [...]

I could have titled this post anything from "Panacea" to Jewish Penicillin" but really, it's just Grandma Annie's Chicken Soup made in my own adapted style, so now it's Jill's Chicken Soup. First of all, my Grandma Annie made THE BEST chicken soup. Every time we came to her apartment in Bright [...]

- Clearly I am obsessed with Cobblers, and if you want to know why here are three reasons:
1. They are incredibly easy to make
2. They are a comfort food
3. They can be made sweet or savory, as either a dessert or a side dish
To me, nothing says summer more than my Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbl [...]

There's a great restaurant in town that serves the most delicious cauliflower I've ever tasted. I think their secret is tempura frying the cauliflower and topping with a sweet and sour sauce, which I am sure has way more sugar than I would care to know I am ingesting. I wanted to rec [...]
