I am a little behind on my posting of the Julia Child recipes – I am participating in an event celebrating Julia Child’s upcoming 100th birthday. For Father’s Day I prepared this amazing chocolate cake – Reine de Saba – Chocolate and Almonds. This is a very rich, delicious cake
Completely You: Food By Nancy Kalish for Completely You Love getting takeout? So do I. But I don’t love the fact that it often comes loaded with extra calories, fat and sodium. For example, an innocent-sounding dish like eggplant in garlic sauce from your local Chinese restaurant can actually set

The sunflowers I planted in my cutting garden bed are tightly closed but will open soon! I really love zinnias. They’re so easy to grow from seed here and come in such beautiful colors. Get a package of seeds and try them if you’ve never grown them. You won’t be
