Please don’t judge me for what I am about to reveal; I listen to the Broadway station on satellite radio.  Not all the time, I listen to way cooler stuff too, but when I am driving I love to sing along at the top of my lungs to the stylings of everyone from Ethel Merman […]

    Mike - That didn’t help when you drifted off, Nancy ha ha! I really like what you said about “Eat as close you the source as you can..” You can get so many more nutrients that are really good for you as you know and I’ve come to learn over the years. I do really savory food posts and folks think I eat like that all the time. They don’t see the fruit, veggies, non fat milk, egg whites, whole grains, nuts, etc, etc that i have the rest of the week. Enjoyed your post! 🙂ReplyCancel

People freak out when it snows, or more specifically when it’s going to snow!  During my many years working at Whole Foods Market I spent hours bagging groceries for people behaving as if the forecast snow was going to keep them shut in for days, if not weeks. Of course you will need eggs, bread […]

     Meyer Lemons are in season, and I finally made that Meyer lemon curd I’ve been wanting to make.  I don’t normally do this, but the recipe I include is directly from Marisa McClellan’s Food in Jars, and I didn’t adapt it at all; it is perfect!  I have so many lemons that I […]

    Marielle Altenor - Is the lemon meringue the same thing you would use on pies? (sorry I’ve never tasted lemon meringue pie in my life lol) My bf has been buying the store bought meringue pies and I wanted to try to make one from scratch for him!ReplyCancel

      nrlowell@comcast.net - Marielle,
      Actually, the lemon curd is what you would use for the filling in a lemon meringue pie, and it gets topped with meringue which is the same as the cookies, but the cookies are baked until they are dry, and the meringue topping is just browned on top. Homemade lemon meringue pies are so much better than what you can buy. They are not difficult, but can be time consuming.ReplyCancel

There is no clear answer as to exactly where empanadas originate, some say Spain, some Argentina, but who doesn’t love them?  They come in all different sizes, and varieties, and they work as well as an appetizer for a party, or a neat, hand held dinner pie. They’re generally filled with some kind of meat […]
