April 2, 2013 by Mariel Goodson 6 Comments

Mariel here. A lamb recipe right after Easter? Sure, why not! After finishing two deadlines for work, I’m short on words today, but I will say this: these are incredibly easy to make, everyone in my family inhaled them, and they work equally well rolled into a pita or speared by toothpicks.

Spinach-Ricotta Spread on Crispy Parmesan Squares

December 9, 2011 by Mariel Goodson 12 Comments

I’ve become a serious deadbeat in the kitchen. Apparently my culinary inspiration has gone the way of the Walkman and every week I scratch my head over what to make for Feast.

Thanks to the steamy temps outside, I[…]

April 21, 2011 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 44 Comments

Mary Anne here.

Unlike the pay-for-play Panera and Nutella craze that you’ve seen splashed about the internet,[…]
