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!
To start off with, you can […]
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 […]
Founded in 1981, the Berkshire Food Co-op in Great Barrington, MA, has held strong to its commitment to provide the community with a place to shop, gather, eat and learn by offering good food and sustainable products. The result has produced a veritable cornucopia of community engagement with food in the Berkshires and the introduction […]

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 […]
Today is my birthday. Yes, yes, it is. The sun is out, it’s a glorious day, and it feels like Sunday. But it’s Monday. But now a days what day of the week it is doesn’t really matter. Instead we now count what quarantine day it is. Well, this quarantine day is also my birth-day […]
My husband ate all of the chocolate chips in the house. Guess that means he won’t be getting any chocolate chip cookies during this quarantine! Maybe that’ll teach him… maybe not. But I was feeling … motivated? Bored? Inspired? Needing to create something? Sure, one of those.
I had all of the ingredients to make cookies […]
