Vince’s Pizza is the perfect Family Day meal

In previous blogs, I’ve tackled the weighty topic of pizza history, and won’t repeat it here. Suffice to say this tasty, topped flatbread has come far since the classic Margherita was first served in the late nineteenth century. There are few restrictions on what can be placed on a pizza – the only one being […]

Platters for Olympic and Big Game snacking

The 2022 Beijing Olympics have just begun, and for the next 16 days, there will be non-stop winter sports from bobsleigh to curling to alpine skiing. But wait, there’s still more. Roughly halfway through – on February 13 – we have Superbowl 56. So for diehard fans, this means you’ll be watching a little more

I’m feeling nuts about nut butters

If you read last week’s blog, the theme (no surprise!) was on getting a healthy start to 2022. Whole foods are a key part of a healthy diet, and nuts – as long as you have no allergy or sensitivity to them – are a whole food that offers numerous benefits. Ditto for nut butters.

Gift baskets make holiday gift giving easy

I love receiving gift baskets. Probably because they contain delicious and unique foods and snacks I wouldn’t pick up myself.

Back then, helping us through the high temps were a variety of frozen treats, with some squeezed through

Ciders and radlers: the perfect ‘summer sipper’

When it comes to summer beverages, I’m a fan of the offbeat. I enjoy craft beer, but am also partial to other beverages – namely ciders and radlers – that offer a typically sweeter, but sometimes more refreshing alternative. This brief, but eclectic sampling of summer sippers may be an ideal way to celebrate our

no heat meal idea - strawberry goat cheese salad

Beat the summer heat with ‘no-burner’ meal ideas

The recent heat wave has reminded me there are some days you just don’t want to turn on the oven or stovetop, much less fire up the grill. Adding heat to the household (while taxing the A/C), or flipping burgers over a propane-powered ‘blast furnace’ isn’t my idea of fun. Which is why lunches and
