I dubbed this mixture Pot Pie Dough because it forms a firm tight seal over Pot Pies but is too dense to be used for a regular pie. It is easily and quickly made in an electric food processor. Make it in one shot if you have a large bowl. […]

Chocolate Clusters
Looking for a quick and easy dessert treat? These Chocolate Clusters require almost no cooking at all! Annie Mae, the lady who worked for my parents for over 60 years, was always looking for ways to satisfy my Mother’s yearning for candy. It was a daunting task; because Mom was […]
Prime Grill-in two parts!
As I got ready to write this review of Prime Grill, I discovered that I had started one after Passover last year. I’m going to leave that review in place and add to it. The following is the first part: As many of you know, we demolished our 29 year […]

The apricot-ginger glaze gives the skin a sticky crisp texture and mouthwatering taste. Tenting the turkey mid roasting helps […]
Cranberry-Pomegranate-Orange Sauce
This Cranberry-Pomegranate-Orange Sauce glistens like rubies in a bowl.

I find that a little tart on your tongue goes a long way in lightening up the meal. Cranberry-Pomegranate-Orange Sauce […]

I created this Smashed Potato and Root Vegetables recipe because my Mother insisted she was allergic to all vegetables except for red and white ones. I took it as a personal challenge to create recipes that she could eat. This one is all white. It passed muster. Smashed means mashed […]
