Vegetarian Ravioli Lasagna
All the yummy cheesiness of traditional lasagna, but much simpler because you’re using ravioli (like little pillows of lasagna) and even healthy with the addition of fresh-tasting gourmet frozen veggies. Vegetarian Ravioli Lasagna Serves 6-8 Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 55 minutes 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced […]
"Jewish BBQ" Brisket
This one is my family’s go-to brisket recipe for the Jewish holidays. Some people say you can determine what old country shtetl (a tiny village) you descend from by the ingredients in your brisket recipe.
Dublin Coddle
Wearing the green doesn’t mean eating the corned beef. Give that salty dish a break and try this traditional soup that’s almost a stew. It takes just a few minutes to pull together and then it bubbles away in your oven, waiting for the hungry parade-goers to come home. Dublin Coddle Recipe Serves: 6 Prep […]
Glenview’s Orange Restaurant: “Contemporary Brunch with a Peel”
This adorable, bright and sunny restaurant is just what the doctor ordered on a recent wintery North Shore day.

North Shore Wine Bar Round-up
Syrah or Shiraz? Chardonnay or Champagne? Delicious wines abound. If you’re looking for help stocking your wine cellar—however grand or humble it might be—or just a fun night out, these superb wine bars from Andersonville to Lincolnshire will bring out your inner oenophile.
Warming Tomato Soup and Mozzarella Melties
This is a tomato soup for winter. It’s better than soup in a can—of course, because otherwise you’d just open that can—and combined with a jazzed-up grilled cheese sandwich, it makes for a very satisfying dinner. Perfect comfort food. Tomato Soup Serves: 4 Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes 1 tablespoon olive oil […]
Gingery Bananas Foster Sundaes
Bananas are the perfect pick-me-up, low in calories, high in potassium. In this preparation, they’re still potassium-rich, but as for low calorie? Not so much! This gingery, decadent treat will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Curious George would be jealous. Gingery Bananas Foster Sundaes (serves 6) 3 tablespoons […]
Chicago French Market: A Treasure Under the Stairs
Great shopping? Delicious food? We’d heard rumors about the French Market downtown and we were intrigued enough to hop a train south.
