We left off Part I of yesterday’s blog after our incredible lunch at the California Grill. If you haven’t read it yet, scroll down and read it, because you will wonder, as we did, how we could even think about food again so quickly. But like the magic of Disney, it appeared and we took it […]

Day Two, Part I, of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: Mickey Awaits!
Waking up on the second day of the festival, our stomachs still full from the incredible dinner of the night before, my daughter Kristina and I heard voices through the wall in the room next door. “Wake up, kids! Mickey awaits!” we heard a mother say to her excited children. It was then we realized that it’s […]
Day One of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: From Private Dining to Mickey Towels
When my daughter Kristina and I headed to O’Hare last Thursday afternoon on our flight to Orlando for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and a stay at the amazing Disney Yacht Club Resort, little did we know what adventures awaited us.

Pepperidge Farm was a Real Place
After my blog on Wednesday about our local apple orchard, it gave me the idea to go through my shelves and see if I could find cookbooks from life on a farm. There are many written by cooks who started their culinary lives in farm kitchens, and one of the most familiar is Pepperidge Farm. I doubt there is […]
Mama Mia! What a Great Cookbook!
Roasting tomatoes has become a weekly task for awhile now. My garden tomatoes have been growing gangbusters all summer, which is wonderful, since last year they fizzled out early. The last time I was roasting them, Moonstruck also happened to be on television, so it put me in an Italian mood. I went to my […]
