Homemade Ricotta

For those of you who are thinking that you would never make homemade ricotta, and that I’m just going overboard in the other direction after giving you this tube-dough abomination…. you may be right.  About the going in the other direction thing, not that you

Thyme-Roasted Grape and Ricotta Crostini

Since my maternity leave ended, I’ve been working from home, so I can also be at home with the baby.  Now, when we came up with this arrangement, I knew I’d be more than a little sad to not be in the office anymore, chatting

Cheeseburger Salad

Yesterday, I panicked.  After I posted about the toffee, I decided to take a few minutes and see what was happening in the wonderful world of food on the internet- read a few of my favorite blogs, check out what was new on epicurious, etc.  As

Watermelon, Feta, and Arugula Salad with Balsamic Glaze

Parmesan and Thyme Crackers

Parmesan and Thyme Crackers

True Story: I make these crackers. Friends come over for drinks and apps. They see these crackers sitting on a plate on the corner and immediately exclaim, “Oh my gosh, are those Ina’s Parmesan and Thyme Crackers?!” Wow. I had no idea when I made 

Finocchio al Forno (Fennel Baked in Cream)

Finocchio al Forno (Fennel Baked in Cream)

I feel it’s only fair after subjecting you all to Brussels sprouts, and urging you to give them another try, that I give something a second try, too.  The tough part about that is… there are so few foods that I don’t like.  I will
