I hate throwing away food. I like to try to use up what I’ve got and view it as a challenge. I had a couple large tomatoes that were a bit beyond ripe. I decided to make a simple sauce with them. It literally took less than five minutes.
First I cut the tomatoes in half and squeezed out the seeds. I roughly chopped the tomatoes and added them to a minced clove of garlic and a half teaspoon of olive oil that I already had working in a pan over medium heat. I let the tomatoes brown a bit and tossed in a bit of dried basil, red pepper flakes and pepper. ...

I got the recipe for the Mascarpone-Sage Sauce when I took a gnocchi-making class at Cooks of Crocus Hill a long time ago. Unlike the gnocchi, it was quick to make.AC basically took care of it while I finished up boiling the gnocchi. In hindsight, I probably should have shocked the gnocchi in cold water instead of almost immediately boiling them and throwing them into the sauce. They turned out kind of mushy which lead...

The thing about trying to recreate your favorite restaurant dish is that you can be fairly sure, in your heart-of-hearts, that what you make will never measure up to the original. Knowing that, I couldn’t help--with AC's help--to try and tackle potato gnocchi anyway.
Over the years I’ve gathered quite a collection of gnocchi recipes so I had lots to choose from. I considered ...

I’m off on vacation next week. My goal is to blog at least once but I’m not making any promises. I’m not going anywhere; just sticking close to home and getting a few home improvement projects done. If the weather permits, I’ll be spending my time digging in the dirt planting flowers, enjoying evenings on the deck with my neighbors and spending quality time with my favorite four-legged friend.

So you may (or may not) have noticed that I didn’t write about Valentine’s Day. I’m not against it or anything; I just don't embrace the holiday quite the way Andi does. Truth be told, I spent the evening of February 14 sharing a frozen pizza with a friend. The only reason I even had company was because my friend agreed to watch my dog for the weekend (I went up north to visit my great uncle) and she needed the lowdown on taking care of my mutt. We did open a bottle of wine and watch LOST but, for the most part, I ignored the holiday....
