Spicy Eggplant

Okay, you do not have to make it spicy if you don’t want to (oh my goodness, I can’t believe those words left my lips! I’ve been in isolation way too long)! Actually this was one of my dad’s favorite dishes. It has a balance of sour/sweet from the addition of vinegar and sugar to the [...]

For those of you who are regular followers of my blog, you know I’m a huge fan of Dorie Greenspan. I’ve always liked her recipes and I especially like the way they can be adapted – although they don’t ever need to be, to ingredients I happen to have on hand. This is inspired by [...]

Corn Fritters

There are so many variations on the corn fritter. Some are thick and others thin, deep fried, pan fried and even baked (I know - really?!). This is a thin variation that comes out crispy and delicious right from the pan. Best served hot, but if you have to, room temperature works as well. The [...]
