We have been having a bit of a lazy summer. With the kids out of school and enrolled in half day camps we seem to spend the rest of our time just enjoying being home…unless of course we are busy breaking up bickering children (whose idea were half day camps anyway?!). One of our favorite […]

Cucumber & Apple Israeli Couscous Salad with Lemon Oregano Dressing
If your herb garden is anything like ours, there are some herbs which grow in abundance. Oregano had always been one of those for us but this year, despite having what seemed like an easy winter, our oregano did not come back. When we had an entire bed full last year we used it all […]
Sea Bass with Israeli Couscous, Roasted Golden Beets & Wilted Arugula
We were spoiled the other day when we walked into our new favorite market called Guido’s in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and found this lovely sea bass at the fish counter. At $22 a pound it was not cheap…but as we tasted our first bite we both agreed that it was worth every penny. […]
Curried Monkfish with Sorghum

Ina Garten’s Blueberry Bran Muffins
School has been back in session for about a month. Not to pat my back with too much enthusiasm…but I’ve been pretty good about making a food schedule and sticking to it. It has made mornings easier and the dreaded what’s for dinner conversation a breeze. Three things have made this a success in our […]
