Yay! It’s my favorite day of the month, I get to reveal my Secret Recipe Club assignment for August. I’m honored to be a part of this diverse group of food bloggers. In case you forgot, everyone in the Secret Recipe Club gets “assigned” a blog from which we are supposed to pick a dish to cook. But, it’s all done in secrecy. It isn’t until the ultimate reveal day (today) that everyone showcases the dishes and discovers who’s been their secret foodie link. This club has provided me valuable exposure to blogs I might not otherwise … [Read more...]

August always reminds me of the bountiful sweet corn harvest. I’ve watched many of the farms on the east end of Long Island transform themselves from barren dirt-covered fields to symmetrical rows of the lush, rigid corn stalks, jutting up towards the sky. Lucky for me, all of the farmer’s markets on the east end of Long Island have set up their “Sweet Corn Here” signs to lure consumers (like me) to check out their selection of ears. Corn ear pyramids piled high on tables decorate the stalls, completing the tail-end summer … [Read more...]
