My Passionate Kisses: Sometimes its All About the Beverage You Serve
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2010/05/sometimes-its-all-about-beverage-you.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Sometimes its All About the Beverage You Serve. I know a lot of the articles I've been sharing have been all about food, but I have to tell you, sometimes its all about the beverage. Here in the Lehigh Valley we have a great community of vineyards. I have my favorites listed on the side of the blog with links to their sites, but today I am going to focus on just one of them, Franklin Hills Vineyards. My favorite location is in The Shoppes at the Main Street Commons. Not sure what i...

My Passionate Kisses: August 2011
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 22, 2011. Back to Basics.with Some Flare. I have thought about making my own butter forever. Well, maybe not forever but at least a few years ever since I had been to the Hamilton Park Hotel. Don't stop now.keep whipping. The whipped cream will start to break down and curdle. You will know when to start lowering the speed of the beater because you will suddenly feel the buttermilk that is separating from the butter sprinkling you. At first I was like, what is that? We are almost done. ...

My Passionate Kisses: July 2011
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. Long Time Big Changes. Well my friends, it has been 13 months since my last post. I do not know where the time has gone, nor do I really know why I stopped blogging. We've all had some challenges, but as always we rose to the occasions, conquered them and have moved on to the next opportunity of success. Life Has Been Good. I am truly blessed. While I intend to start cooking and sharing some fun recipes again, I wanted to share one that I've been making since spring and just love!

My Passionate Kisses: September 2011
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Experiments, Experiments, Experiments. So here's the thing. So many people, chefs and home cooks alike, have found new ways to make things by experimenting. Whether it is because you fell upon an ingredient you didn't know what to do with or because you've been too busy to go to the grocery and shop and you were starving and had to make do with what was in the cabinet. I usually fall under the category of, I found a new ingredient and didn't know what to do with it. Once it c...

My Passionate Kisses: Girls' Night a Celebration of Friendships - New and Old
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2010/06/girls-night-celebration-of-friendships.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. Girls' Night a Celebration of Friendships - New and Old. There were 12 amazing women at my house Saturday night enjoying great food, wine, music and conversation. It has been such a long time since we’ve all gotten together that I was a little nervous about what the neighbors would say when we started laughing and boy did we laugh. Dinner gave me an opportunity to experiment with new foods and introduce my friends to foods they’ve never had. Toffee Espresso Pots de Crème. Pancetta...

My Passionate Kisses: June 2010
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 10, 2010. Never Give Up on the Sweet Potato. Let's face it, everyone has a vegetable, meat, grain, sweet etc., that they just don't like. You can't say why you don't like it and you've tried a million different preparations; yet you still just can't add it to the list of things you can't wait to eat. The story is the same for all the different squashes out there; acorn, spaghetti and pumpkin. I love love love zucchini, but my lack of love for all the others just mystifies me. 4-6 tblsps...

My Passionate Kisses: GDYNIA Polish Market at the Allentown Farmer's Market
http://mypassionatekisses.blogspot.com/2010/06/normal-0-microsoftinternetexplorer4.html
Saturday, June 5, 2010. GDYNIA Polish Market at the Allentown Farmer's Market. I think you all realize by now that it has become my goal to investigate as many foods outside of my culinary safety zone as I can. Being of Italian/German descent, with more of an emphasis on the Italian, food of all ethnicities has always been intriguing but cooking it is another story. Okay, let's tell the whole truth, we got through the double doors and stopped at Charlie K's Pizza. So, 15 minutes later after talking to th...
