This recipe is from Bon Apetit – Tastes of the World. Mom and I made Fiesta Corn on Wednesday and ate it fresh from the stove. We also had it later in the day, once it was refrigerated and enjoyed it cold as well. While preparing the dish, I tasted a sample prior to pouring the salsa into the pan and it was really flavorful. So, I may leave the salsa out next time. Either way it’s […] Read More

I’ll write […] Read More

I’ve been going through some of my older magazines looking for inspiration and found this one. This is a great side (or Spanish tapas style) dish.

It also doesn’t call for a lot of ingredients, which makes me happy! 2 tablespoon olive oil 10 cloves garlic, sliced 40 large white button mushrooms, quartered 2 cups dry white […] Read More

I am one lucky girl! My Mom made this for me this week! I marked my cookbook, Williams-Sonoma Savoring Desserts, she typed it up, brought down the ingredients and made me this delicious treat. We both think it’s a winner. It is a great way to use all the great summer fruit that is available now. You can vary the mixture of fruit according to the season. 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese […] Read More
