I don’t know about you, but at our house tacos are a staple. A week without taco night is pretty much a disaster. Our children love to make their own with all the ingredients laid out on the kitchen counter and get quite upset if they are pre-made by me in hopes to require less […]

Jane Green’s Curried Creamy Chicken

Coronation Chicken is a very British dish that has a Royal history. It quickly has become popular with friends and family in the States. It was invented […]
Wild Ramps with Chicken
When I was working in a kitchen in Western Massachusetts we would forage for ramps in the early spring. This was my first introduction to this North American wild vegetable. I have since come to love them and look forward to their short growing season each year. Although ramps grow wild, […]
