Let’s make a rhubarb galette! This is such a scrumptious recipe! It’s summery and sweet and tart and crumbly and it’s easy to make too! The best way to describe a galette is an easy, rustic, peasant pie. You don’t need a pie pan and the pastry dough serves as a bowl to contain the luscious fruit filling. This might be your favorite summer dessert!…

July, here at StoneGable, is lazy and hazy and hot! Who wants to spend hours in the kitchen when easy, light meals are really what we want. We eat seasonally around here. From the garden and farm stands to our table. I could live on corn and tomatoes from July through early fall! But the rest of my family might have something to say about that! So here’s what’s on the menu this week….

SCRUMPTIOUS AND FRESH STRAWBERRY TART
Who doesn’t love a beautiful tart? Especially when it’s filled with a gorgeous, creamy citrus filling and piled high with fresh juicy strawberries! As you may know, I am not much of a baker but I do love to make pies and tarts! For me, a tart is as good as it’s crust and the freshness of the fruit that goes into it! Today’s tart is legendary in my neck of the woods. Strawberry pies are on the menu here from spring until the end of our strawberry harvest in mid June. I’m seeing gorgeous strawberries from California at my……

I’m busy in the kitchen at StoneGable this week. Getting ready for guests and cooking the make-ahead parts of our Easter meal! Easter at our house means a big BRUNCH! And all the favorites of our family. Like many families, we eat the same brunch that has been perfected over years! And we look so forward to it! Our brunch culminates in an Easter Egg fight (no we don’t throw eggs) and a crowning of the Easter egg king or queen! This is a tradition that goes back generations! Holidays are a great time to build family traditions and connect……

HAPPY APRIL! I love this month. It’s the time that the Bradford Pears come out to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Almost every year in this area the Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom for Jacqueline’s birthday. So when she was little I told her those trees bloomed for her birthday. So fun! It’s also my son Christopher and darling daughter-in-law’s wedding anniversary and Bobby and mine too! What a great celebratory month. It’s also the beginning of farm to fork eating in my area! YUM! Here’s what’s ON THE MENU this week…

We are breaking out the grill this week and I am one happy camper! I love grilled food. Our grill is a monster! It can grill and smoke and cook. I’m not the cook when it comes to the grill (although I do know how to use it). This is Bobby’s domain and he is official Grill King at StoneGable! On the menu are two of my favorite grilled meats, hamburger and chicken. What could be better? Here’s what’s on the menu this week……
GRANDMA LO BIANCO’S FAMOUS MEATBALLS
Today is a special day here at StoneGable!!!! I’m sharing a fabulously delicious and famous secret meatball recipe!!!!! You might think, “What’s all the fuss about a meatball”. Well, it’s obvious that you haven’t eaten Grandma Lo Bianco’s famous meatballs! I literally could eat them all! They are that good! Meaty and tender and very easy to make. It’s almost a crime that something that tastes this good should be so easy to make!!! My friend Fran shared this recipe with me at the peril of not being let into heaven……

Happy Spring! Monday, March 20th is the beginning of SPRING!!! It’s still cold and snow covered here at StoneGable but that won’t stop us from celebrating that spring is surely on its way! If you have seen spring in your area please send it here. As the days of spring warm up my recipes and menus take a lighter turn. I am such a seasonal cook and soon I’ll be enjoying the spring fare from our garden and local food stands across my beautiful bucolic area! I can’t wait for garlic rants and tender lettuces. Yum! Culinary spring is a……

I thought we were going to have an early spring, here at StoneGable. The weather has been so warm, the daffodils are blooming and so is the forsythia! But we had a couple inches of snow today and there is more snow and freezing rain in the forecast this upcoming week! And the temperature has dropped by more than 20 degrees. So, I’m not quite ready for spring cooking! The garlic rants and leek tarts will have to wait for another couple weeks! Here’s what’s on the menu this week!…
BEAUTIFUL AND THIN EVERYDAY PANCAKES
I love fluffy homemade pancakes. But I’m not a fan of them when they get so thick it truly is like eating cake. I like my pancakes thin and still fluffy! Stacked with butter in between and covered with real maple syrup or rolled up with berries or sausage links inside! YUM!!!! These everyday pancakes are in between regular buttermilk pancakes and crepes. And leftovers are amazing when toasted and spread with butter and jam and eaten like a piece of toast! Make the batter ahead and finish the pancakes the next morning! Let’s make homemade everyday pancakes!…
ON THE MENU MARCH 5TH
Today I’m heading to Costco, my favorite place to grocery shop in bulk! I’m heading right for the meat department and picking up some scrumptious salmon and chuck roast! I also buy two rotisserie chickens every time I’m there. I just can’t help myself. I’ll cut it all apart and save the bones for stock. YUM! This week some of the chicken will go into the freezer and I’ll use the rest for lunches. Chicken on a Caeser salad or made into Chicken salad is the perfect lunch in my book! What’s your favorite lunch? I’d love to hear! …

I always “jump the gun” when it comes to transitioning from one season to another. Especially when it comes to Spring! I love love love gardening… or at least the idea of gardening. So digging in the dirt in the spring is such a joy to me. Coaxing the earth after it’s winter nap and bringing green things to life! My love of seasons continues on in what we eat too. I am such a seasonal, eat-what-is-growing-locally kind of girl. I’m already transitioning my recipes to reflect the end of winter and the beginning of spring!…
MY FAVORITE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Don’t you love comfort food? And it’s even better if it is pretty… and tastes scrumptious… and smells heavenly! That’s just how I feel about my favorite blueberry muffins. I love them warm right out of the oven. Oh, the culinary bliss! You need to try these muffins! But don’t eat them all because they freeze beautifully and can be warmed up in the microwave and eaten warm whenever you need a blueberry sprinkled treat! Yum-Oh-Yum! Let’s make blueberry muffins!…

I almost feel spring in the air, could that be right? We are having some lovely weather this weekend but I’m sure the cold will be back for a few more weeks. I am such a seasonal cook. I say, “what’s local is best”! And that means cooking from my garden and local farm stands. Right now not much is growing, except in local greenhouses, so I’m so looking forward to the earth waking up and blessing us with great things to eat! For now I’m eating from last year’s bounty safely tucked away in my freezer!…

This Tuesday is Valentine’s Day. Just remember to be super sweet to your sweetheart! As you will read I’m not a fan of going out to dinner on Valentine’s day, and really I’m not so much into the hearts and roses thing. I much prefer jewelry or furniture… no just kidding (or am I?). I love events. Don’t tell Bobby but we are going to a The Philadelphia Art Museum and then to dinner in Philly. We love museums! Fun and memory making! What are you doing with your honey or friends? And Happy birthday brother Alan! xo…

This week’s recipe is a salute to hearty winter flavors. There are stews and a great south-of-the-border soup on the menu this week. Even though these recipes will stick to your ribs, they are healthy not to mention so so delicious! I’m heading to Wegmans today… wheelchair and all! I LOVE Wegmans! I could spend hours there. It’s sorta like how I feel when I go to my favorite jewelry store. Seriously! Sweet Bobby is taking me on a fieldtrip that is right in the wheelhouse of my love language! Wegman’s, Steinmart and Barnes and Noble! I’m so excited to……

Oh, I’m so happy I brought back ON THE MENU!!! It really helps me grocery shop and put great meals on the table almost every night! I love to cook but I have a super busy life and I don’t want to spend lots of time cooking! So I try to choose meals that are amazingly tasty and easy! That’s the magic culinary combination for me. We cook with the season here at StoneGable! I really prefer to cook with what is in season and what I can get locally. If you want a week’s worth of scrumptious dinner menus……
CREAMY AND DELICIOUS HUMMUS
Hummus is a spread well known and eaten in the Middle East. But over the years it has become wildly popular in other countries too! Hummus is the Arabic word for chickpeas and these legumes are the star of this tasty spread! If you haven’t tried it you should. It’s a delicious appetizer or an accompaniment to a meal. It’s usually served on pita or flatbread but we like to dip veggies in it! YUM! Hummus is so easy to make with pantry items and homemade tastes so much better than the flat, pasty stuff that comes in a plastic container!……
