October 1, 2009 Spot on October! There was a small moment in time when I actually thought of leaving my beloved island for Florida . Hey let’s face it, with cheaper living, taxes and a more relaxed, carefree lifestyle…it was tempting. My Florida fantasy faded as I remembered the one thing that will always keep me here…the weather. Long Island has the best

Butternut Squash Rigatoni with Prawns by SporkorFoon This is one of my favorite recipes ever. And healthy (zing!). You see, the creaminess of the butternut squash tricks your mind into thinking you are eating something laden with cream and cheese, but you're really not. Genius. The sweet addition of basil and the sharp bite of the parmesan cheese really amps this dish

Spice Crusted Salmon with Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Potatoes and Sauteed Asparagus by Spork or Foon You want a quick, filling and healthy dinner? Try this recipe out. It is so simple and fast, yet the variety of spices will really get your tastebuds working.

Poulet Roti- Roast Chicken by Spork or Foon Inspired by Shari of Whisk: A Food Blog, I joined Whisk Wednesdays, a group made up of several fantastically wonderful, passionate women, cooking their way through Le Cordon Bleu at Home in order to save, oh, I guess $27,000 - roughly the cost of attending culinary school. So, for $20 (@$#%! I paid $50! Stupid sales that

Spot on September September 1, 2009 As I write this the air is already cooler and the summer of 2009 is becoming a memory. The fall is creeping upon us and the children of Long Island are getting ready for school. So what does SpotonLI have in store this fall you ask? Well, from our humble beginnings 2 months ago we are blossoming into this amazing interview

Sauteed Shrimp with Leeks and Bacon with a Cauliflower Puree by Spork or Foon First of all, I just want to say I love sunlight. It makes pictures pretty, even with bad cameras. Secondly (second of all?), I just want to say I love this dish. It is easy. It is very tasty. Cauliflower puree is a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes and tastes just as good.

Green Lentil "Pate" Bruschetta by SporkorFoon ...With a Poached Egg and Honey Balsamic Sprouts. What a mouthful. Literally. (Ba-dum-chhhh) This was inspired by a recipe that I saw on Chow, but I gave it my own twist. To be honest, I wouldn't use the sprouts again, but they do add a nice variation on the texture. If you like sprouts, then definitely keep them
