Spinach-Feta Strata

Making a family member’s favorite dish brings me great pleasure, so when my son-in-law, Andy, put in a request for strata over the Christmas holidays, I made sure I bought good bread and  half-and-half, and had a carton of eggs on hand. I like strata–I make it a lot!–so I wanted to honor his request […]

Three-Bean Chili

It’s hard to believe my due date is now less than two weeks away. It would be easy to fixate on that completely, but about a month ago Andy and I made a conscious decision not to sit around and wait for our son to make his grand entrance. Since then we’ve gone to restaurants […]

Festive Deviled Eggs

Happy holidays everyone! Here’s Festive Deviled Eggs, the final new recipe I developed for Maggy’s baby shower. In planning the menu, deviled eggs were a natural. Like the sausage rolls that we ran a couple of weeks ago, they’re a never-a-one-left-on-the-platter kind of appetizer. For me, eggs also spoke to the new life that was about […]

Stacked Chocolate-Butterscotch-Coconut Cream Tart

When Sharon and Maggy suggested I bake stacked tarts for the Baby Keet shower, I don’t think they realized how much I was going to get into this project. Initially we envisioned baking up several of the Stacked Fall Tarts we created back in September, leaving the first two layers—pecan and apple—the same and subbing […]

Rosemary Potato Gratin (And Anolon Giveaway Winners Announced!)

Congratulations to our giveaway winners, Sarah, Sharda and Charlotte who each won an Anolon baltic blue 13 by 9 inch oven-to-table ceramic baker. Enjoy! When we first started planning Maggy’s baby shower, we all envisioned a holiday roast dinner. Because Maggy and Andy have so many good friends in the area, it was a large […]

Rosemary Potato Gratin (And a Giveaway!)

When we first started planning Maggy’s baby shower, we all envisioned a holiday roast dinner. Because Maggy and Andy have so many good friends in the area, it was a large crowd, so we needed a forgiving (and reasonably priced!) cut of meat. We quickly settled on a rich, sticky glazed ham. We also needed […]

Simple Sausage Rolls

Very early in my pregnancy (not even 12 weeks), Mom, Sharon and I started talking about my baby shower. Though it felt late, we agreed that it would be around Christmas, during Advent, a time of year that has always been special for our family. We love the quiet joy of the Advent season with its themes […]

Croque Eloise

  For better or worse, Maggy and I had a pretty Rockwellian upbringing. Raised in the farm community/artist colony of New Hope, Pennsylvania, we were surround by lush woods, snow-dusted fields, funky shops, and salt-of-the-earth people. We chose and cut down our own Christmas tree each year, picked pumpkins straight out of the patch, apples off the […]

Pork Stew with Balsamic and Beer

A few weeks ago I got a one of those e-mails that goes like this: “We are participating in a collective and hopefully tasty experiment. As such, you have been invited to be part of a fall recipe exchange. We hope you will participate!” In exchange for sending just one recipe to the person listed […]

A Holiday Gift from 3MC!

When family and friends discovered that our book—Three Many Cooks: One Mom, Two Daughters; Their Shared Stories of Food, Faith, and Family—would not be published until Spring 2015, many expressed slight disappointment. They were hoping to give the book as a holiday gift to all the mothers and daughters, grandmothers and aunts, cousins, friends and […]
