I finally broke down and tried whippable soy topping. I have picked it up and passed it up a half dozen times. It was not until I was going to create the Peach Galette that the Soyatoo! whipped topping seemed critical. It feels unfathomable to have pie or Galette without a la mode or whipped topping. The […]

Back in the day Sandy and I used to make Caprese salads our way. I loved fresh Buffalo mozzarella but disliked tomatoes so we would layer the perfect bite as follows: Biggie basil leaf, cucumber and sliced mozzarella drenched in the best Balsamic we had on hand.

Image Courtesy of 4seasonsgreenhouse.net The necessity to use the abundance of green tomatoes we had, the desire for a quickie meal and the love of all things green were the collective inspiration for this dish. We threw everything in the food processor, boiled pasta, wilted kale and had a stunning meal. Photo By: S. Duquet […]
