Breakfast for Dinner? I think so!

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

I suppose you don’t see BLT sandwiches on a breakfast buffet, but when you have heirloom tomatoes from the garden, a few packs of unopened bacon staring at you in the fridge, and bread from Bread Alone, I think it’s fair to assemble.  Whether you want to make your own mayo with an egg yolk,…

If You Aren’t Vegetarian You Should Try ABCV

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

The title, ABCV is abbreviated to mean ABC Vegetarian. Jean George, chef, and culinary gastronome owns restaurants around the country, with a few more locations in NYC. His first ABC kitchen lies in the ABC Carpet and Home store on 38 east, 19th street. Vegetarianism is quite trendy today so opening a veggie-forward restaurant was…

Wine Berries 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    It’s a nice thought,  but no. These berries aren’t known to make wine, but they are however, related to blackberries and the many ways you can manipulate them. It’s common to see these plump guys, on the side of a highway growing wildly; so the next time you are in a summer road…

An Obsession Since My Pre- School  Days 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

I live for pasta. I know that a few of my past posts have digressed this fact, but I will continue to tell all. I remember when I was in elementary and middle school, I would always boil Swanson Chicken broth while cooking a pot of pasta to add to it. Tortellini was my favorite…

Tomatoes, Peaches and Parm

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

A unique combination that’s absolutely delicious. Although tomatoes and peaches are at the tired end of their season I am craving their fruitful flavors. Sarah Copeland would feed me such flavorful salads for lunch every time we worked together. I could not quite figure out how she could make such greens and veggies taste so…

There is Nothing Like Produce from Farmers Markets

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to get these beautiful heirloom tomatoes from the market. The absolute best time of the season to buy is in August when they are at their peek in the season. Cut them into a peach salad, blanch them quickly into pasta with arugula pesto, or munch…

Crumbles for Your Late Night Thoughts 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

After a 12 hour day of picking at, and munching on baked sweets, the best way to end the day is to continue eating sweets. Coming home to mamas apple crisp is the best fall Sunday night treat. Whipped cream,  vanilla bean frozen custard, or as is. Sometimes sipping on cold milk helps flush down…

The Apple Trilogy

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    What could you possibly do with 12 pounds of apples. Apple picking, even for two doesn’t allow you to pick just a few apples and run along to the pumpkin patch. Apple  picking means buying in bulk the best crop of the year.Apple infused Rekya vodka is the perfect way to use up…

Peaceful Eating 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    Boys and their food. I had hoped it came out the way Chris once made it for me, but food tastes different when different people make it, so it’s lovely to see all variations. So, he was happily eating it regardless. Spaghetti (grandma made that executive choice) ricotta, big smashed cloves of garlic,…

The Invereted Flower 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    Wasps, specifically Fig Wasps, are the reason why this delicate fruit is available as a decoration for pastries, part of an elegant breakfast, or made into Fig Newton cookies. Wasps tunnel themselves into the fruit, detach their wings, nest their eggs, and allow for pollination to occur. We are simply eating the dissolved…
