Roasted Root Vegetables with Cider Vinaigrette

Maggy and I were at the farm stand near our Pennsylvania house the other day, and we noticed they were practically giving away the end-of-season corn, tomatoes, and watermelons. They know what we know. It’s decidedly fall, and most of us are ready to switch from delicate summer lettuces to hearty fall vegetables. These last […]

Smoky Baked Polenta with Marinara

When Sharon was visiting with us a few weeks ago, she invited a friend for brunch. When I suggested we make strata, she gave me a bored shrug, but then begged me not to serve up anything too weird. A good Southerner, I immediately thought of grits in casserole form. Everyone was a little skeptical, […]

Three Many Cooks: The Book!

I distinctly remember when Maggy, Sharon, and I celebrated the first anniversary of Three Many Cooks. I remember our second and third one too. But when I woke up yesterday morning to friends and colleagues on Linkedin congratulating me on our five-year anniversary, I was pleasantly surprised, because it coincided with another big event for […]

Braised Lamb Shanks with Tomatoes and White Beans

This week is all about change. After four and half years, Andy took a new job which starts today. Last Thursday we commenced a kitchen and bathroom renovation on our apartment. We could have continued to live there, but with me six months pregnant and our living in what looks like a war zone and […]

Simple Posole

When Mom, Sharon, and I are in the same zip code, our time together is rarely an opportunity relax. With a blog, an upcoming book, and biannual Potluck events, we must also take time to work. Whether developing a recipe for Three Many Cooks, working on content for the last chapter of our book, or […]

Stacked Fall Pie

From the moment I heard Karen Thornton of The Peche talk about the stacked pie in her family history, I was hooked. This weekend she is a presenter at our fifth annual Big Potluck in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and I used her talk— “Stacking Up Your Past: Creating a Culinary Legacy”— as an excuse to finally […]

Thai Chicken Stew

For the first time in my life, I fell asleep sitting up. That was Monday night. Until now it had been an easy pregnancy, but at twenty-three weeks I am, as the Brits say, absolutely shattered.  When I was startled awake, Andy noticed I had dozed off and was instantly sympathetic, “Oh, babe!” he said, […]

BLT Scones

Today is a good day. I woke from a deep and luxurious sleep this morning, and it was still half dark and the curtains in our bedroom flapped in the breeze as cool air rushed in. I pulled up the covers, nestling down deeper into my bed and enjoyed the sensation I had been waiting for […]

Maple-Mustard Glazed Grilled Wings

Ever since I’ve committed to eating less meat, better meat, I’ve avoided serving chicken wings to large crowds. Organic wings are pricey, and I just can’t bring myself to pick up a big pack of factory-farmed chicken wings. I mostly buy chicken at Costco—the Coleman organic brand—which until recently was limited to whole chickens and […]

Mojo-Marinated Skirt Steak

I’m not a big steak eater. When we were kids, my older sister Maggy, banned red meat from her diet, and because I wanted to be just like her, I gave up it up, too. For the next decade (much to our mother’s chagrin) our family’s protein consumption was mostly limited to poultry and seafood. I can only imagine how […]
