Thanksgiving Dinner and Pumpkin Pie
Thursday, November 26th, 2009We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner, and finished it off with pumpkin pie. I got some organic canned pumpkin this year that just seemed much tastier than the usual kind.

Olive and Tomato Tapenade on Crostini
Monday, November 23rd, 2009This is another wonderful recipe from my mother. She makes this as an appetizer when they have a friend or two over for dinner. It's easy and wonderfully flavorful. There's a lot going on, but all the flavors work well together. For the crostini, I sliced a baguette ...

Swaddled Emma

Open-faced Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Sunday, November 8th, 2009This was my breakfast / brunch this morning. Very easy - just a couple slices of bread topped with a few slices of deli ham and a couple slices of sharp cheddar, then popped under the broiler for a minute until the cheese was bubbling and the ham and ...
Sausage and Mushroom Calzones
