There are probably thousands, if not millions of recipes out there for chocolate chip cookies. There was a time when I just used the Toll House recipe from the back of the Nestle Chocolate Chips package. Then Crisco changed its formula to eliminate trans fats, and baked goods just haven’t been the same since. I don’t exactly bake cookies…

Gazpacho de Julia
Let me start out right away by telling you that this is not Andalusian Gazpacho, which includes bread in the recipe and is more of a puree. It’s my version of Mexican Gazpacho, with no attempt whatsoever to remain “authentic.” Okay, if you must know the truth, I used to make loads of salsa fresca….
Lime Sherbet
I found this recipe from Southern Living on MyRecipes.com. It’s incredibly easy to make (assuming you have an ice cream machine.) Cool & refreshing, and very tasty! Mine didn’t come out as creamy as I’d like, but that’s my fault. Or rather, the fault of my crummy freezer. It just couldn’t keep up with the…
Coffee Ice Cream

Pork Scaloppine With Dilly Chickpeas
I wish I could take full credit for this recipe I adapted from Bevcooks. I never would have thought to make pesto from dill – it was delicious! My contribution was to up the flavor in the pork, which then melded beautifully with the dilly chickpeas. It’s well worth getting all your ingredients set before starting…
Grilled Mojito Chicken Thighs
Yesterday was Mojito night at our house. My spearmint plant is thriving, in spite of neglect, so I decided to use mint in everything I made for dinner – even the olive oil for the bread. Each use was a bit different, so each dish had its own flavor. The Strawberry Mojito Salad was an…
