Many, many years ago – no, this is not some fable, it’s a real story. While shopping as a teenager, with my Mom, we happened upon these specialty aluminum cookie sheets located at the end of an aisle. Alas, it came with a recipe. I won’t tell you how many years ago that was, but…
We enjoy a hearty breakfast, especially on weekends when we have more time to cook and indulge in a relaxing meal with plenty of steaming hot coffee. On rainy days and special occasions, having a nicer, heartier breakfast is definitely on the menu. French toast is one recipe I like to play with—it’s so forgiving!…

Summer brings out some of the best foods, like fresh, juicy peaches and crisp greens. I love the combination of spinach, Romaine, arugula, and iceberg lettuces – dark greens, lighter greens, crisper, peppery – I mean the combo just sends a salad to the next level! What I love about this salad is the flavor…
