Most Recent Post : Cauliflower Potato Soup
The winter weather in Atlanta has been completely schizophrenic. We’ve had days of freezing temperatures, followed by days so sunny and warm that I found myself wandering around in tank tops and skirts and this week has been no exception. March has definitely come in like a lion. Earlier this week the daytime temperatures were [...]

let’s ramp things up, shall we?
Ok, guys and gals. It’s time for me to get this show on the road again, isn’t it? I have to admit that lately I’ve been flailing around with the blog a bit. I’ve lost focus for the content here and I haven’t felt much excitement about cooking or photographing food. But I think I’ve [...]
asparagus and red potato salad
[Printable recipe at the bottom of the page!] It’s that time of year again – fresh, green, bright asparagus spears are all over the place. I love asparagus in pretty much any form; steamed, grilled, roasted, baked. But every now and then I want something different and new. Tonight I needed a side dish to [...]
roses
It’s not food related, but I had to share an image of the roses outside my front door right now. The climbing rose that I planted when I first moved into the townhouse 5 years ago has gotten large enough to train up the wall and over the front door. This spring, after all the [...]
artichokes
Sunday at the grocery store I saw the most gorgeous artichokes on sale for $1.50 each. It was all I could do to not buy 10 of them. Have I mentioned that artichokes are one of my favorite things? I know some people think they’re too fussy and too much work for too little reward, [...]
rave! atlantafresh greek yogurt
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a rave on the blog. Then again it’s been a long time since I’ve found anything (food, kitchen gadget, or otherwise) that makes me go “wow!” This … this was one of those things. A few weeks ago my friend Shannon recommended this yogurt to me. It [...]
asparagus soup
I can’t remember where I found this recipe, but it’s been saved in my “keepers” folder for a while. The original recipe calls for leek and a few other things that I didn’t happen to have around. So I made a substitution, an addition, and … well … yum! The photograph above doesn’t adequately show [...]
chimichurri sauce
I’ve seen recipes for this sauce everywhere and have always thought I needed to make it, but never got around to it. I don’t know why really. Well, tonight I grilled a flank steak and decided that it would be easy and fast to make this Argentine sauce … I started with a fresh bunch [...]
monday morning links #8
Before I get to the links, I just want to share my new favorite kitchen item … my Shun Classic 4-Inch Paring Knife! Isn’t it beautiful? And let me tell you – it amazingly sharp. I sliced a linen kitchen towel drying it off. Yes, it’s that sharp. Now I’m jonesing for the 10-Inch Chef’s [...]
Eggs!
I was scolded recently for not keeping up with my blog, so I am spending the weekend cooking and shooting and getting things ready to post some recipes. In the meanwhile, here’s a teaser image from this evening’s shoot – and a hint towards what’s coming up!
monday morning links #7
This week has been a tough cooking for blogging week. I’m spending a couple of weeks on a pretty restrictive diet to kick myself back into gear. I’ve found myself pushing aside recipes that interest me because I know that I won’t be able to limit myself to just one serving or one taste or [...]
