Fall apples make great bread
|
Fall in New England always means it’s apple season! This recipe came to me from the Bellott family in Granby. Very easy, very delicious and the recipe makes two loaves—one to keep and one to share with family, friends or co-workers.

Caponata uses seasonal vegetables
|
I hope you try this recipe while the farmstands are full of produce. While visiting my husband’s cousin in Italy in August, she served us the most delicious caponata as an appetizer. There are lots of variations but this recipe is closest to the one we had. Enjoy!

A twist on the usual coleslaw for your next barbecue
|
So delighted to share this recipe—I made it many moons ago for a Cook sister’s gathering and birthday celebration for our mom. Horseradish is a great addition, just enough to add spice and flavoring but not enough to send tears down your face! This is a perfect salad for summer gatherings or barbecues, and might taste even better the next day—if there is any leftover.

My grandmother Katie Hurley immigrated from Ireland as a young girl. Though I never had the privilege of knowing her firsthand, my mom always kept her memory alive with wonderful stories, and most importantly, by celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in a big way.
