Bacon Jalapeño Frittata

Bacon Jalapeño Frittata Skip the Chatter — Take Me to the Recipe The relegation of eggs to the sole realm of “breakfast food” (and potentially baking) is a somewhat distinctly American phenomenon.  Much of the world enjoys eggs throughout the day, in a variety of dishes suitable to both casual and fine dining.  Given the […]

Dark Rye Poppyseed Sourdough Bread

Dark Rye Poppyseed Sourdough Bread Skip the Chatter — Take Me to the Recipe Hearty but comforting, pronounced yet balanced, this rye sourdough will not disappoint.

After-School Skillet Cookies

After-School Skillet Cookies Skip the Chatter — Take Me to the Recipe Let’s elevate the after-school milk and cookies game, shall we? Yes. Why not.

Salame al Cioccolato

Salame al Cioccolato Beatrice Scudeler Skip the Chatter — Take Me to the Recipe Salame al cioccolato is a no-bake dessert hailing from my motherland of Italy.

Lenten Tempura Shrimp

Lenten Tempura Shrimp Mrs. Marie Giambrone Skip the Chatter — Take Me to the Recipe Sometimes you just need a change of pace. Sometimes, you need to mix things up a little.
