Silvery? I know! It’s an unusual name for a supper, isn’t it? I was so in the mood for a sheet pan dinner that night (it had been a long day, & my neck was acting up), but I wanted something a little different. I’d seen & impulse-bought some cute little Brussels sprouts & a nice…

Savory Fougasse
Don’t judge a book by its cover! Honestly, aside from Great Green Sauce, this may be the goofiest-looking thing I’ve ever made. Well, at least of the things I’ve made that turned out more or less the way they were supposed to . But, wow, is the old adage true! This may be a goofy-looking…
Herbed Rack of Lamb With Beets
“What’s good today?” I asked the butcher. Pork chops were on my list, lamb was not, but that was irrelevant. I learned early that when it comes to meet, the grocery list is…more like guidelines. My dad was a very organized person: A Place For Everything, and Everything In Its Place. Mom would write up the grocery list,…
Herbed Wild Rice With Carrots & Kale
Pretty, isn’t it? And it’s really delicious, too! Now, I know kale has something of a reputation. Some people assume that anything that sounds healthy is going to taste like cardboard. Nope! Not here, anyway. This is a great intro-to-kale dish. You don’t even have to tell anyone that’s what the green stuff is, it’ll be…
Homemade Hot Cocoa
The queen of all comfort foods is, in fact, a beverage! And the queen does not come from a box, she’s made from scratch. Okay, I’ll admit it, when my kids were little, I bought the boxed stuff, too. Store brand, even. But no more. It’s really incredibly easy, and takes less than 2 minutes…
The Best Homemade Brown Gravy
Thick, rich, deeply flavored brown gravy. A roast turkey seems naked without it! There’s a longstanding tradition in my family that you get to choose the dinner menu on your birthday. For me, that meant that not only would I get to have my favorite dinner (roast pork with Lawrey salt rub, applesauce, & corn on the cob)…
Easy Sprouted Wheat Bread
Best whole wheat bread I’ve ever had! So light, you might not even notice that it’s healthy whole wheat. So moist, I didn’t bother with butter. A while back, I was ordering some things from King Arthur Flour and just needed a little bump to put me into free shipping range. Looking around for something new to…
Moroccan-Style Haddock
I returned this week from a cruise vacation, feeling rather…large. Too many calories, too much salt. I may have over-indulged my love of creme brulée. Let’s just call it “aversion therapy,” shall we? I know, you feel so sorry for me, don’t you? We did have a lovely time. Warm weather, the sound and smell…
