It’s a good day to wake up to a strata! With snow in the forecast today and Thanksgiving next week (wait…isn’t that a bit backwards?) it’s a perfect time to dig into something warm, yummy and….green! Actually I’ve made stratas for my family to enjoy …
We are only a couple of weeks from Thanksgiving and I’m continuing my seasonal obsession with acorn squash. Acorn squash makes a beautiful presentation for your Thanksgiving table. Who wouldn’t want a filling, stuffing or dressing served in an edible container? What’s great is that …

Happy Summer! Nothing says July cookouts like your favorite grilled foods and fresh salads. I’m not someone who eats a lot of potatoes, but there’s something about potato salad I crave during the summer. And there are so many variations but usually there are two …
