Something sweet and simple takes center stage for my Everyday Food Magazine Challenge this week. We’re up to issue #12 and the recipe that I selected is the Mocha Custard. I’ve never attempted a traditional custard. The tempering of the eggs has always sort of intimidated me. I was always worried that I’d end up…

jalapenos – everyday food challenge
Today’s Everyday Food Challenge brings two issues together just south of the border. I visited the downtown Akron Farmer’s Market on Friday and picked up a basket of jalapeno peppers for a recipe from issue #11 and found that I had purchased so many that I could also make a recipe from issue #73. So…
the vegetables, oh the vegetables
One of my favorite things from last week was going to the Crown Point Ecology Center with my friend Shannah to pick up her share. We’re hoping to get in on this veggie bonanza next year. Fingers crossed. The photo quality is not the best, I only had my iPhone on me.
cappuccino brownies – everyday food challenge
My partner Greg has declared this, the best brownie ever. And who am I to disagree? This post marks my tenth week of my Everyday Food Challenge. Ten weeks and at least one recipe from each of the first ten issues of Everyday Food Magazine. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve been very excited…

It’s that time of the week again. My Everyday Food Challenge update. This weeks brings us issue #9 and a perfect summertime french-inspired Tuna Nicoise Salad.

the giant skillet cookie
So what happens when you reveal to your co-workers that you baked something amazing the night prior, and yet arrived to work with nothing to share? You get “the look” and lots of “whys?” You see after tasting a slice of Martha Stewart’s Cookie of the Day, the Skillet-Baked Chocolate-Chip Cookie, Greg asked that I…
oven roasted corn with chili lime butter
It’s sweet corn season in northeast Ohio. To celebrate we roasted up a batch on Sunday night with our barbecue chicken. I found a recipe for roasted corn with chili lime butter on the Food Network web site. I knew that it would be great since it was from one of my favorite celebri-chefs Tyler…
classic barbecue sauce
Our friends David and Marc were kind enough to walk Tucker while we were at the beach a few weeks ago. Tonight, we’re having them over for a thank you meal. Lately, I’ve been having a hankering for some barbecue chicken. I did a little research this morning and found a recipe from Everyday Food…
tomatoes make me smile
A happy assortment of some of the first heirloom tomatoes of the season from my garden. From top to bottom, we have Nayagous, Speckled Roman and Sun Gold. We’ve tasted them all, on salads, except for the speckled. I’m probably going to slice that one for a sandwich. The Sun Golds are amazing. They are…
