Instant Pot Classic Marinara and Her Distant Cousins (a no-recipe recipe)

Posted on Sep 3, 2020 by Peggy

My kids gave me an Instant Pot for Mother’s Day. Both passionate cooks, they told me they couldn’t imagine life without the contraption. But, to be honest, I rolled my eyes when opening the box—the last thing I need is another kitchen gadget cluttering my counters. That’s until I spied a yogurt button on the panel. I can make … Full recipe post »

Pizza with Grilled Artichokes, Garlic-Spinach & Feta

Posted on Feb 18, 2013 by Peggy

I’ve blogged several times about home pizza construction, but I’ve never addressed the importance of not letting your pizza dough get warm before it’s slid onto the pizza stone, which would affect the “slide” effect. Confused? Let me explain. I always assemble my pizza on a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel, then – after assembling the ingredients on the … Full recipe post »

Mid-January finds me in recovery from non-stop holiday cooking and post-partying depression, yearning for my husband to surprise me with tickets to an all-inclusive, white sand paradise where the kitchen is hidden behind a towering arrangement of tropical fruits, and Kahlua and Irish whiskey find a place next to the espresso machine at the breakfast … Full recipe post »

The May edition of Runner’s World came a couple of weeks ago. Forget the “Rut-Busting” Workouts or “Run-Walk Training Plan”; I immediately flipped to the recipes. (Note the irony.) Last month I was quite pleased with a reduced-fat, yogurt-based Fettuccine Alfredo I made from the magazine. This month’s “pizza” recipe looks quite simple and gives … Full recipe post »

Healthy Pizza Night

Posted on Feb 22, 2010 by Peggy

I’m buddies with folks who claim they were raised exclusively on fast-food, pizza and mac & cheese. I’d never point a recriminating finger at their parent’s approach to feeding their kids. I’ve raised children and understand the incredible challenge of getting healthy foods down their little gullets, much less carving out time to eat around … Full recipe post »

Grilled Butternut Squash Pizza with Fried Sage Leaves

Posted on Oct 15, 2009 by Peggy

I love grilling pizza. It’s so easy and once you get the hang of it, boxed pizza may be a distant memory — you may also decide to retire your pizza stone forever!
