Welcome To My Blog!

For the past year, I've had the experience of being a part of the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club Cookbook Committee. Our committee is in the process of finishing our cookbook, A Stir In The Mist: Tastes and Traditions of Niagara Falls. It is a collection of recipes from the Niagara Falls community and local restaurants. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club. Just recently I have relocated to Ohio, but still wanted to be involved with the book. After watching the movie Julie and Julia, I was inspired to share the great recipes from our cookbook and the experience I had making each of them. I hope you will enjoy the journey I will take stirring my way through A Stir In The Mist!

Let the "stirring" begin!

Well I have started this venture through the cookbook. First things first, each recipe I do will only be a little story about the steps it took to get to the final product. There will be no ingredients given out and no steps to how I got every great tasting recipe to turn out so delicious. That is for you to find out when you purchase or when someone else purchases"A Stir in the Mist" for you!!

I will apologize now for any grammar or punctuation mistakes I may make. I know I am coming from a family of educators, therefore I should know better about these things, but I may make a few mistakes. Soo lets get started....

Hope Everyone is Enjoying the recipes!



I hope everyone is enjoying as I blog about these delicious recipes!
The Chicken Divan was a big hit here in the Soffritti house. This dish has so many different flavors that you will not be able to just eat one helping. So make sure if you are having company you have enough for seconds.
Tonite I am taking a night off in the kitchen. Tomorrow I will continue with another Entree.
The one thing I learned after getting married and really enjoying my time in the kitchen. Is that when you take a night off of cooking anything yourself, you truly do appreciate the restaurants around you.
That is one of the many things that I do miss now that we have moved away.
The Food!
It may sound weird but when you have lived somewhere all your life you alway know what restaurants to go to and which restaurants to stay away from. What menu item to order or what menu item not to order.
Niagara Falls is very lucky to have so many great places to eat out at.
A Stir in the Mist is going to be featuring some great recipes from some very well known restaurant businesses in the area. This way you can try out in your own kitchen some of the menu items you may have been curious about for a long time.
See you tomorrow!

"Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music."

I am loving your blog! You are doing such an amazing job with the recipes. What a good wife! Make sure you save all of your amazing pictures. I'm thinking we should put your blog and the pictures up on the "Stir in the Mist" website so people can see what they're making! I've been making the recipes too...wish I had your picture taking skils!
