Gingerbread Truffles
It’s the holiday season! Time for making cookies. Time for enjoying time with family. Time for thinking up new ways to use the Gingerbread Oreos that were otherwise not being eaten. Don’t let my plate fool you – there’s absolutely no baking (by you) in making these truffles. Combining the flavor of gingerbread with cream […]
Broccoli Crumble
What a month! It was a blur of briefs, hearings, and 2 published decisions. I could not catch my breath! So for my first post in a while, here’s an easy side dish for any night where you need a quick veggie. I turned plain broccoli into a cheesy, breaded delight – without actually going […]

Sicilian Eggplant Caponata
This is a delicious vegetarian meal. You can serve it as the main course, serve it over pasta, or serve it as an appetizer as a brushetta-like topping for delicious, crusty Italian bread.
