My son Jeremy had been wanting to try the Truffled French Fries at today's Frugal Floozie Friday feature — the Jolly Pumpkin Cafe & Brewery — since I first told him that I'd found the intriguing dish while searching through a variety of menus one day while making a list ...
At one of the Seders I attended at Passover, the topic of deviled eggs came up. Everyone has a favorite recipe; some add chopped ham or salami, some add hot sauce, some add horseradish, some add dill. There is no wrong way to make these simple but delicious treats! And ...
I received a great marketing gift last week: a case of Ataulfo mangoes, otherwise known as the Champagne variety, from the Whole Foods store down the road from where I work. In addition to making what I must admit was a really lovely Gingered Mango Soup, my family and friends ...

Passover began this past Friday, April 6. Rather than merely lasting for one day, as with most holidays, Pesach ([PAY-sahk] = Hebrew for “Passover”) is an eight-day commemoration of the Jews’ flight from Egypt and escape from slavery. And one of the ritual foods to eat is matzah. Matzah [MAHT-suh], ...
I've had the great good fortune to visit Cafe Ollie twice recently — once with my very dear friend Sarah, and once with Jeremy and his best buddy, Mitch. Since the restaurant is so warm and wonderful, and such a supporter of Michigan products, it was time to feature it today ...
Baseball comes back today! The Detroit Tigers' home opener will be at 1:05 p.m. against the Boston Red Sox. I'm so excited! Of course, I have to be at work this afternoon... sigh. But it's the principle of the matter! Opening Day, for me, is usually when the New York ...
I get all sorts of emails each day — some amusing, some informative, some obscene, some insulting, some adding to my "to do" list and many related to food. Friends compliment recipes and photos; they talk about taste memories, tell me what they plan to make for holiday dinners, or recommend ...
I respect the spirit of the law at Passover, although I don't feel bound by the letter of the law. I'll be going to a cherished friend's house for a Seder on the first night of the eight-day holiday, and bringing Chocolate Caramel Matzah made with my own handmade matzah. ...
I was recently honored and thrilled to be one of the judges at the third annual Brisket Bake-Off hosted by the Sisterhood of Temple Beth Emeth. It was a fabulous time, filled with excellent food and wonderful friends both old and new. To read about the adventure, go to my ...
Mary Bilyeu | Contributor I had dinner recently with my friends Marcie, whom I've known and loved for five years, and Stacy, who is new to my extended family and welcomed wholeheartedly. We ate an utterly sublime meal at Ayse's Cafe, today's Frugal Floozie Friday feature. Ayse [EYE-shuh], the owner and cook, ...
Elvis Presley was noted for many things, among them his beautiful baritone, his white jumpsuits, his gyrations and his beloved grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Since I obsess about food, let's focus on those sandwiches, shall we? This is my final entry into Project PB&J — a contest for food ...
Most people think that macaroons are chewy spherical cookies made with coconut. But this is only one variation on the theme. Macaroons are actually more generic — they're cookies made with beaten egg whites and sugar, with either ground nuts or coconut stirred in before baking; they don't usually contain ...
I know it's a little bit early to be offering a recipe for charoset [hah-ROH-set], which is a fruit mixture served at Passover; it represents the mortar used by the Jews during their enslavement in Egypt, and is an integral part of the Seder which commemorates the flight to freedom. But ...
Alright, let's get the obvious statement out of the way right from the beginning: this sandwich has no — and I do mean NO — redeeming nutritional value. There's no arguing that peanut butter provides protein. There's no rationalizing that apricots provide vitamins A and C. There's fat, there's sugar, ...
