When I think of June, I think of strawberries. They are at their absolute sweetest this month, and I just can’t get enough of them. We are so lucky to have an abundance of u-pick places in the Hudson Valley and Capital Region (see a listing at the end of the article). Picking your […]
Summer is the height of growing season for us here regionally, and in honor of that we asked Chelsea Streifeneder of Body Be Well Pilates and Nutrition to share with us a healthy, delicious, and (somewhat) local recipe that is perfect for those summer barbecues. Enjoy!
It has been so busy lately and I feel like […]
When it’s fluffing cold out (just like now after this latest Nor’easter) there’s nothing better than coming in after shoveling to a warm soup… or maybe to some this might be considered a stew? Call it what you will, the point is this: it is hearty and delicious!

My daughter and I found ourselves at home on a cold Sunday and wanted something “yum!” So my daughter asked if we could make some cookies. When do you ever say no to fresh-baked cookies? Like, seriously!
We flipped through my new cookie book that I bought myself for Christmas, and even though there are some […]

A lot of us are spending more time in the kitchen (thanks Coronoa virus) – and some of us, as a result, have put on a few of the old l-b’s, while others have honed in on super foods and foods that make you feel good. (I’ve done both). But I think that we […]
At some point or another we have all heard the expression “Food Therapy.” What Food Therapy actually means is different for everyone. For some it may be the actual art of culinary cooking; the experimenting, cultivating and originating of ideas and recipes of the same or of new. Others may view it as the actual […]
I realized some years ago that I really enjoy making soup. Sure, I can make chicken noodle soup – which is not my best. I make a pretty great beef and hearty veggie stew, as well as soups that use either one or both cauliflower and broccoli. So on a chilly mid-April day I decided […]
I’ve had a busy couple of weeks in the kitchen … I never thought I’d be saying those words! But it even got to the point that I said to my husband, “Maybe I should write a cookbook called ‘My Quarantine Cookbook’?” Perhaps not a horrible idea, since I think I’ve stumbled upon some great […]
