Going Going Gone….!

Hi Friends, 


As you read this I am on the airplane winging my way to the east coast and my vacation and will return on the 19th for SITS Chicago Bloggy Boot Camp. I wanted to share some of my favorite summer and vacation recipes with you while I am living it up on the beach in Nantucket.  There are always a few special summertime foods that so I look forward to enjoying every summer, my Mom's Blueberry Crisp is fantastic. 

The Healing Powers of Soup

As promised I am sharing the recipe of my mom's healing chicken soup It has actually helped/healed more than a few people. This was the ONLY food a friend of the family could eat after being very very sick in the hospital. Really…its true! 

A Perfect Dinner

This is one of my favorite dinners:

2+ years ago I went to my parents hours for dinner. That dinner was and still is one of my favorite meals I have ever eaten. It was light, but so filling and most of all satisfying. I have made this salmon recipe twice since that first dinner but I make the rice salad a few times a year. Enjoy it and have a wonderful weekend!

Ghirardelli Jungle Brownies

LA to San Fransisco Trip 2009

These brownies started back many years ago, (before high school) when my idea of cooking was making everything as crazy/fun/different as I could. I wanted to invent rather than cook, so I would add everything I could find and dump it into what I was making. I had odd ideas and my poor family ended up eating many crazy and not delicious dinners. Including one dish that at the time I really liked but wasn't very good. It was chicken in a sour cream and dill sauce smashed between 2 biscuits and baked. Yuck!
