I used to love my after school snack of fresh home baked chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of ice cold milk but as I grew older the milk was replaced with coffee. Every one in our family loves coffee. Not drip, or french pressed, but good old fashioned perked coffee. We made it [...]

HELP! My Chocolate Chip Cookies are Flat!!

Hi everyone, its Joy. Judy is away at a picnic so I thought I could post a thought without her hogging everything. My thoughts today are about having a delicious chocolate chip cookie. I’m dying for one. They are the ultimate reminder of our childhood and a feel good treat. However, after making these delectable [...]
What the Cluck? Lets Fry some Chicken!

My family loves fried chicken and so do I. But I really don’t love to make it at 5 o’clock pm and have it on the table by 6. You all know what I am talking about. It makes a mess! The buttermilk dip, the flour, the re-dip. OMG! Then the oil. Hot sputtering oil [...]

If it didn’t just happen, I wouldn’t believe it myself. Joy just emailed me another tapenade recipe. I can’t believe it! She was talking about it last week in our blog and I was sick of it then. And just a few minutes ago she told me she has a few more recipes. Who [...]

I just can’t get polenta off my mind. You all know I love my pasta( I eat it at least 3 times a week) but I find myself day dreaming about the creamy yellow porridge. Is that weird? Any who, tonight I decided to make a huge batch of polenta and of course I went [...]
“Pasta”bilities

Pasta (macaroni) is probably one of my favorite things to eat. I could probably eat it everyday and never get sick of it! There are so many different ways to prepare it, the “pasta”bilities are endless. Sauces like marinara, oil and garlic, and pesto are great with it, just to name a few. You can toss [...]
A Blueberry Pie Milk Shake? Yes!

Today on Better Connecticut, Joy and I decided to make a milk shake with a slice of fresh blueberry pie, 2 cups of vanilla ice cream and 3/4 cup of milk. We threw the whole thing in a blender and whirled it all to a yummy deliciousness! It was so thick, rich and surprisingly creamy [...]
