Momma's Spaghetti
I was 10 years of age when the angels came for Momma. My two brothers and I were much too young to understand the gravity of the changes that were rapidly enveloping our lives. Within months Dad was gone as well. We only knew that cancer, whatever that was, had taken both of them from us and they were now together for eternity in heaven... read more at Recipes

Kitchen Gadgets
I like to save time. If it takes me one hour to prepare a dish, I look for ways to reduce that time by one minute here or two minutes there. You'd be surprised how these minutes add up. If I can cook that dish in 55 minutes, I have 5 more minutes to devote to other endeavors. I do love to prepare a dish, but I am happiest when I can do it efficiently...

The Fifth Food Group
Most
of us learned about the famous four food groups in elementary school.
I did. Didn't you? Apparently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture
had compiled a list and had passed it around to all of our teachers
in an effort to influence our dietary habits. Basically, the four
groups were comprised of...

Elvis Is Alive And Well..
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the subject of Elvis. For years the tabloids have been full of stories of Elvis sightings. I have to admit that I too was skeptical of these reports. I chalked them up to "just wishful thinking." Wouldn't we all love to have Elvis back again? During my most recent trip to Las Vegas...read more at Jackie's Table

I often describe myself as a food nut. People ask me what it's like to be a food nut. I always say that it's not so bad. You get used to it. Actually, I have made peace with my food nut mania... read more at Jackie's Table
Matchbook Memories
Some years ago, before I stopped smoking, I collected matchbooks. Back then, restaurants would designate smoking and non-smoking areas for their patrons. They would use books of matches as an advertising medium, printing their name and logo on the cover. There was... read more at Jackie's Table
Destination:

San Francisco Side Trip
It's
no wonder that San Francisco is symbolized by a heart. I love this city with
its charming and picturesque Victorian architecture, the clang clang of the
cable cars, and the mysterious, fog-shrouded Golden Gate Bridge. The mix of
cultures here has created an interestingly diverse restaurant community.

Just Say No
I remember the advice given to young people about what to do when a friend offers drugs. The simple answer is to just say no. We could apply that same logic to certain foods. I could just say no to fattening foods. Of course I'm speaking hypothetically. In actual practice, if someone from across the room offers me a cream-filled, chocolate-covered donut, you might

Vacationing in the Florida Keys
Need a vacation? Explore a live coral reef, walk along white beaches lined with palms and catch the fish of a lifetime without even leaving the continental U.S. There is no place quite like the Florida Keys. The term "Keys" originated from the Spanish word "Cayo" meaning a low, flat island. As you drive south from...
