The NYT recipe for spicy pork shoulder made quite a bit so to keep things fresh and interesting (the classic leftover dilemma), we looked for different ways to enjoy our Instant Pot Pulled Pork. We quickly discovered all that pure porky goodness goes well with just about anything. Like…BISCUITS. I pulled out Bon Appetit’s recipe, BA’s BEST Buttermilk Biscuit, …
I just received an InstantPot pressure cooker for my birthday! This is right up my alley since I am a KITCHEN GADGET FREAK. Not exaggerating, I love kitchen appliances. I am the “what was I thinking, forehead slap” owner of donut hole pans, a strawberry corer, spiralizer, brownie squares pan, sous vide thingy, Ebelskiver pan, …
Did I get you with the title? Ok, I made the Silver Fox part up although he is nice looking with an endearing accent. The tag line of his book is actually From My Mother’s Table to Working the Line. I wanted to get your attention as I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I hope others will …

Who doesn’t love a slice of good old-fashioned apple pie! Layers of apples, sweetened with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg enveloped by a tender, buttery, flaky crust. This one will bring back memories of Mom’s Apple Pie. Ok, maybe Grandma’s Apple Pie!
I absolutely love pie. Apple pie, Lemon Meringue Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Peach Pie and BANANA CREAM PIE. Yum. My favorite part is the crust, all that buttery goodness in tender flaky sheets. My favorite pie crust recipe is from Dorie Greenspan (ok, I might still be starstruck) and it’s really good. A combination …
Like a mother hen I have watched the young pharmacists I work with grow and develop both personally and professionally. They are intelligent, compassionate and dedicated, a joy to work with-I think of them as a second family, my work kids. When my own children went off to college one of them remarked “It’s ok …
I was going to post last week right after the Super Bowl but I needed to recover from the game’s crazy finish before penning a full critique of the game, the commercials, and the food (best part). I admit I was rooting for the Atlanta Falcons and for a while I thought just maybe the …
