garlic and rosemary infused olive oil
This morning I made a very simple garlic and rosemary infused olive oil for slathering on the crust of a very special pizza that I’ll be making tonight for dinner. It’s a pizza with roasted peppers, italian sausage and fresh mozzarella topped with an arugula salad drizzled with red wine vinegar, a little more…
nutella swirled blondies with toasted hazelnuts and chocolate
Blondie Week, day four. Also known as Nutella Swirled Blondies with Toasted Hazelnuts and Chocolate day. You are going to need a great big glass of milk to go with these amazing bars. My partner Greg has quite the affinity for Nutella. It’s a hazelnut spread with skim milk and cocoa. It’s very big in…
cherry chocolate almond blondies
It’s day two of Blondie Week. Today we feature the Cherry Chocolate Almond Blondie. Dried cherries are one of my favorite additions to baked goods.

Don’t worry, there are just four teaspoons of instant espresso in the recipe. It’s very subtle and adds just a little bit of additional flavor to the granola. Give it a try, I think…
cherry-almond vegan granola
I’m about the farthest you can get from vegan. My love and adoration for bacon will never allow me to make this leap. But you know what? This Cherry-Almond Vegan Granola is incredibly edible. It’s a great snack to have on hand, and you don’t have to feel too guilty about enjoying a handful now…
linguine with asparagus and egg – everyday food challenge
Once again, it’s confession time at made by mike. I love a runny egg yolk. At breakfast I like to dip my toast into the yolk of an over-easy fried egg. I enjoy a piping hot bowl of pasta Carbonaro with its yolky sauce. I was very happy when I came across the recipe for…
