Food Art from my tiny box garden
Just for fun – I picked peppers, rosemary, and basil to use in a homemade sauce – with tomatoes from Farmer Dave, of course – the other day. I just thought it looked pretty, so here is a picture. 🙂

Salmon Summer Fruit Salad. REALLY Tasty!
A big THANK YOU to Marcia Calvin, one of my fellow members of the Wakefield Unitarian Universalist Church, for bringing this lovely salad to our church potluck picnic last Sunday! I love potlucks. They provide a wonderful opportunity to try new dishes and enjoy old …
Unbelievable Chicken “All-in-One” Casserole
Okay – this is REALLY GOOD. Unbelievably good, in my opinion – with that opinion shared by my husband. It is a WOW. It gets even better when leftover and it goes especially well with strongly-flavored vegetable such as fiddle heads (in the spring when …
Tomato Sauce – my favorite using canned tomatoes

Can’t go wrong with fresh mozzarella!

Rosemary, Onion, and Garlic
I was trying out a marinade recipe and liked the way these ingredients looked on the cutting board. I’ll report on the marinade later – the chicken is soaking as I write. The lovely cutting board was made by Mark Calabrese. I recieved it as …
