Anyone who assumes the role of “head chef” in their home kitchen knows how difficult it can be to please the whole table.

Four-Cheese Southwestern Breakfast Strata with Chorizo

April 17, 2012 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 11 Comments

Mary Anne here. Last week an old high school friend wrote to me on Facebook and waxed eloquent about her family reunions where apple-laced stratas were frequent features and she got me thinking about this versatile, old fashioned favorite.

December 21, 2010 by Mariel Goodson 7 Comments

Mariel here. I hemmed and hawed over what to post this week. Since most of us are in the midst of a pre-holiday scramble – which usually entails a melee of baking, shopping, menu-orchestrating and nine-to-fiving – daily meals become less about divining something delicious and more about quieting the growl before wrapping a pile[…]

December 2, 2010 by Mariel Goodson 7 Comments
