Apple Pie Oatmeal

One of my favorite breakfasts is this delicious oatmeal. Slice an apple, sauté in a tsp of butter til soft.  Add a tbs of brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon then dump on prepared instant oatmeal.  Voila!

If you like apple pie, you'll love this. 

Spring Pasta

This delicious pasta is easy and healthy. Snow peas, chives, parsley, frozen peas, tarragon and ricotta add up to a creamy, dreamy dinner. I added some grilled chicken for extra umph.

January 2016

Time to eat healthy!

Salads

Soups

And birthday cake, of course. My favorite cake: coconut! Made by me for me (and others).

That cool ornament Tom provided for the top shot a sparkler and rotated AND set off the fire alarm.

Fun!

Christmas 2015

Yay, Christmas and a Nell visit for a whole week!

I made a wonderful pasta for Christmas Eve which our friends Susan and Nick shared with us.

We ate fab Indian food and lunched at the new Vegan Flava Cafe. Took our dessert to go. 

Spent a lot of time in our kitchen...

And enjoyed some vegan chocolate chip cookies baked by Mom (me).

After a quick lunch at Weaver St. Market in Hillsborough, we strolled down the new walkway to see the new Patrick Dougherty sculpture that Tom helped build. It is amazing.

Great Christmas!

Lunch with a Vegan

On Black Friday, in a very crowded Lord & Taylor in NYC, we found a quiet spot in which to lunch. Their very own cafe which, for some reason, is always relatively empty.

They even had a vegan selection. 

Vegan baking

Baking without dairy products is a bit of a challenge. Luckily we have Isa Chandra's Snickerdoodle recipe. They are super crispy and very flavorful. In this cookie, you don't miss eggs or butter. 

New kitchen!

My friend Pam's beautiful new kitchen in Orient, NY.  Look forward to cooking with her soon.
