meI like to cook for my close friends and family. They love my recipes so much, that I decided to share them. I am not the best at measuring ( I rarely measure; so don't worry about being precise unless I state otherwise.) I always welcome criticism and any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cooking with Alice



Yikes!

I have not used this blog in quite some time now…

I have some new photos and recipes ready to be posted, I will just have to get them in the queue.

Thanks for your patience !

Just look at our fancy new juicer!  My husband and I invested in a juicer today and we bought lots of produce from a local farmers market in Albany. The first juice blend we tried was prickly pear blend; very simple, so if you have a juicer, here goes! 1 prickly pear 1 lemon 1 wedge pineapple (really ripe so it adds sweetness) just juice in that order, stir and enjoy! high-res photo
