Canned Jalapeno Peppers
As a little girl, my Yiayia loved her tomato plants. We would have so many tomatoes, that the only thing to do was to can them. I tried to follow in her footsteps with growing tomatoes, but my squirrels love them. So I’m left with the only thing the squirrels hate – jalapenos! But apparently, […]
Escarole and Beans

Easy Bruschetta
This recipe is a great appetizer or “salad” dish to accompany your main course. Because you are making crostini toasts from the bread, this is a great way to use leftover bread. Or you can make it from store made crostini crackers or fresh bread. When I was a law clerk in Jersey City, there […]
