Nearly two months ago I wrote about my green tomatoes. I’d produced a healthy crop of tomatoes, but the majority of them refused to turn red and I was left with nearly 30 green tomatoes. I divided them in half, saving some for bread and some for soup. I’ve yet to make the soup, but [...]
Lots of people love mashed potatoes. This oven recipe takes the ordinary mashed potato recipe and makes it something special. Rich and very bad for you, we only have it at the holidays. I savor every bite! Party potatoes 8 to 10 medium-size baking potatoes, peeled and quartered 1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened [...]
Halloween has passed and your jack-o-lantern’s night in the spotlight is over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the seasonal taste of pumpkin. We celebrated Halloween in the newsroom and I found this great pumpkin chili recipe to give a favorite dish a different twist. I was asked how many alarms this chili [...]

Sometimes the easiest recipes are also the best. That proved to be the case with the Bacon Maple Pancakes I made as the Saturday night newsroom honored our neighbors to the north, Canada. This simple recipe put a new spin on a breakfast favorite, combining pancakes and bacon in one dish. I can easily imagine [...]
If there was any doubt that garden season was over, snow over the last few days sealed it. Thanks to a poor growing season, blight and worms, I only got a handful of red plum tomatoes this year, and none of the bigger ‘big boy’ hybrids. Instead, I ended up with several plants falling over [...]
Chicken salad is often a summer staple, but it doesn’t have to be the typical picnic fare. We enjoyed foods from India in the newsroom last weekend and I decided the curry in this fruity chicken salad added an Indian twist to the night. It’s also a great way to take advantage of summer produce! [...]
It started by watching the Muppet version of “Put the Lime in the Coconut” on Facebook. It continued Saturday night with the Philippines theme. As I’ve mentioned, I always enjoy coconut, so when I found a recipe cooking sweet potatoes in coconut milk, I was eager to try it. It’s funny how those ingredients can [...]
It’s not often I’m afforded the luxury of blogging in the mountains while watching the lake. We’ve just finished lunch and there’s a chocolate cake baking in the oven. Life is good. My parents have a house in the White Mountains, just outside Plymouth, N.H. Any guest there knows that as nice as it is [...]
It’s not every week that I can get all my co-workers on board with bringing in foods that match our theme. Sometimes they need some guidance, and when I told them that this week’s theme was Ecuador, I decided it necessary to instruct them not to bring in roasted guinea pig, one of the specialties. [...]

When I noticed this week’s theme was Brazil, I realized I actually had a few sources for authentic recipes, including a handwritten recipe that our Brazilian exchange student, Sylvia, had given me. Sylvia lived with us for six months when I was 13. She came from Sao Paulo, one of the largest cities in the [...]
