Making Homemade Pizza Dough
This is just not another recipe blog – it’s your Q&A for food, your resource for authentic tried and true recipes our grandmothers and parents made but with today’s ingredients. Feel free to contact me via comments to ask your food questions, and I will answer you – really I will.
There are well over 225 recipes at the moment, but new ones are added daily. Feel free to subscribe via RSS or e-mail and don’t forget to send me your comments and thoughts…
I write articles for various e-zines, mags and blogs always doing my best to entertain and inform readers who hopefully laugh once in awhile at my musings.
I’m one of those Especially All Homemade From Scratch, Just Out Of Your Garden, Never Been Tried, Make It Up As You Go And Of Course Anything Delicious Foodie! I am into ‘slow food’ and being more green as in organic and less-carbon footprints with my life in the kitchen. I may wish to be a full time vegetarian (still working on that one) but love to cook, bake and entertain in a big way.
Almost all my recipes I share are made with homemade ingredients and are very tried and true recipes…with a few tips and tricks learned along the way. I am currently working on my first cookbook which should be out by late Summer of 2011.
When I am not creating food, writing about food or eating food, I am a multimedia artist who offers original art with a feng shui twist which I sell on Etsy.com. If I am not doing that, I am up to my ears studying, and writing.
Otherwise I am out and about enjoying life and being grateful.

was wondering if you’d help me out with a simple menu for an autumn gathering. I was thinking along the lines of slow cooked cranberry ribs but what would compliment that??
cranberries are slightly tart – so making sangria with fresh fruit for drinks – either white or red sangria….I would also do an easy cold rice salad with fresh veggies for color even try a baby arugula salad with balsamic vinaigrette dollops with small bits of goat cheese, dried cranberries and walnuts. I would also do a fried rosemary polenta – hope this helps!
Hey There,
Love your oven jerk ribs recipe. In the recipe you reference a recipe for making your own jerk sauce, but I couldn’t find it. Please point me in the right direction!
Usually I just use an off the shelf, but authentically Jamaican jerk sauce like Eaton’s.
Cheers,
John
Why try to be vegetarian? Read this post of mine and you may reconsider…

And for people who say they can’t afford organic or grass-fed meat, I just tell them to just eat less of it. Eat meat the way oriental cultures do, where the meat is a tasty part of a meal that contains many different flavors – not the main event.
hope that helps….
