I like to have a few quick and slick tricks in the kitchen, especially when it comes to summer snacking. During these fleeting warmer months, it’s typical for family members to drop in for a dip in the cove and a breezy deck visit. Naturally, I like to have ingredients on hand that can be […]

Cooking at the Cove: Dinner with Lucy
This week I have my 13-year-old granddaughter, Lucy, here at the cove keeping me company. We both like to eat and we’ve been cooking together since she was knee-high to a grasshopper. I’ll never forget the first time I had her here for the day. A wee lassie dressed in her mother’s old OshKosh […]

What I love most about this meal is that most of the prep work can be done a day ahead while Dad is busy doing outside chores or running errands. I also love that the kabobs can be made with lamb if Dad prefers it. This entrée is super quick and can be eaten with […]

Cooking at the Cove: Immunity boost on the menu
As people are starting to be out and about a bit more, we need to keep our immune systems in tip-top condition. This soup/bread/fruit combo can be served for a savory supper or divided for brunches or lunches. I don’t know about you, but I need to lay off the chips, ice cream and queso […]

Cooking at the Cove: A little celebration
When my granddaughter, Anna, was just learning to talk, one of her best sentences was, “Let’s put up a party!” No one could resist her exclamation and accompanying smile. Of course, we had to do something to celebrate her cuteness. Immediately. “Putting up a party” has become part of the family’s language over the years […]
