This is a very nice cake, simple, delicious … just enough sweetness. For me, I love to enjoy it plain with a fresh cup of brewed coffee because it isn’t so overpowering in flavor that the coffee takes a back seat. Rather they both share the stage where each compliments the other. Very nice. And, in addition to being delectable as a stand alone cake you can also use it instead of biscuits if you want to bring your Strawberry Shortcake up a notch or two. And this is especially true if you typically use an instant [...click to contimue reading...]

The last thing you want on your fresh organic salad is tired old dressing….. Or, just as bad, some secret flavor packet that you “easily” add oil and vinegar to and shake. And the reason for the “easily” is that this is something that the Conventional Food People along with Madison Ave. has convinced us of. Let’s do it real and natural and FRESH .. and trust me it will be just as easy as shaking in a bag ‘o stuff. By the way, take another step from the conventional foodies by making sure you use [...click to contimue reading...]

Most people have this rule that they’ll drink the good wine and cook with the cheapest, crummiest, shoe polish remover type stuff they can get their hands on. In talking with those who do, we find that they feel that adding some garbage wine is all the same since the alcohol will evaporate during cooking anyway. This is right but way wrong at the same time. Yes, most if not all the alcohol will be evaporated, but no it does really matter because the flavor of the stuff that’s left is what we’re really after anyway. [...click to contimue reading...]

This is a side dish that’s good served with a main beef course. There are no specific quantities listed in this recipe since it’s best to add just enough ingredients for your own personal preference.

This is a French Gourmet Soup that is simple but rich. Not something you’d want to eat every day but for a soup that’s warm, good, simple to make, homemade and even gluten free it’s tough to beat.

Mashed potatoes are a beautiful thing. They taste great, are comforting and also are very easy to put together. However, like many classic dishes, this one is often poorly prepared. And as far as instant potatoes go..don’t get me started. Well, the following is Organic Garlic Mashed Potatoes done right. It uses Russet (aka Idaho or Baking) Potatoes because they have a high starch content and produce fluffier mashed potatoes. We also use Fresh and not Dried, Garlic & Parsley. And finally, we’re talking organic here..no chemical residues, no genetically modified foods and no farming practices that aren’t deemed environmentally [...click to contimue reading...]
