Here's a way to enjoy corn off the cob
There’s nothing that shouts summer louder than the sight of just-picked sweet corn piled high in the back of a pickup parked along the side of a country road.

Rosy Radish Dip packs a zing
Just a few weeks ago, I discovered a gorgeous bunch of radishes tucked into a market basket full of goods that I purchased from local growers.

Sweet little girl turns into an ice cream bully
I come from a long line of ice cream lovers. A highlight of each trip to Chicago to visit my grandma was the moment she would say, “Let’s take a ride.” I knew that meant that we’d pile into my dad’s car and we would drive right to my grandma’s favorite ice cream parlor.

Dancing dessert: Berry-filled Pavlova
For six years the Pavlova recipe was tucked into my “Summer Recipes” file. A cooking school classmate sent it to me with her penned comment beside the recipe, “This is a great one.” And I knew she was right.

Going hog wild for cherries
The cherries are here. Once again I must carefully position the fingers on my right hand, discreetly hiding the cuticles dark with stain and the nails that look as though they’ve been used for raking the dirt in my flower garden.

I'm on an olive mission
I’m an olive lover. My husband loathes them. I think sometime during his childhood he must have had a tin-flavored pitted olive from a can and his taste buds gave it a thumbs down.

Craving cupcakes? Try these red, white and blue treats for the Fourth
I love little surprises.
A couple of weeks ago my son, Andy, came walking into my house with a lovely turquoise box in hand. He had just returned from a business trip to Houston and brought back a surprise.

Which way to the grill? Steak on a plank kindles interest
Two New York Strip steaks were cooking on a smoldering wooden plank on our grill on the deck. The smell reminded me of a summer campfire combined with the fragrance of the big pile of burning Christmas trees that our suburban fire department used to set aflame each year after the holidays.

Take the lazy way out with Rhubarb and Peach Crisp
I remembered my mom’s words as I measured flour, brown sugar and oats into the bowl of my food processor. As clear as the music of the birds outside my kitchen window, I could hear her say, “Oh, don’t be such a lazy Susan.”

Surprise your taste buds with arugula salad
The flavor is a little unfamiliar. It’s peppery. Or is it pungent? Maybe some would say a little bitter. But when you eat the delicate little greens when they are young, you will call arugula simply delicious.

Burger time is here
I picked up a copy of the current issue of Food Network magazine the other day. The cover photo is a delicious-looking cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun. And inside, Food Network television chef Bobby Flay shares some of his best burger recipes.

The early bird gets the herbs
Last year, as the month of May was nearing its end, I went to the local nurseries to shop for herbs to plant in my garden.

A yummy chocolate wake-up
Strudel. What comes to mind when you hear that word? My thoughts immediately travel back to my grandma’s apple strudel.

I'm mad about mangoes
Are you ready for my next food mania? I’ve moved from lemons to mangoes.
Although mangoes seem to be in grocery stores almost year ’round, I always seem to find the most deliciously sweet mangoes in the spring.
