Here in Southern California June gloom finally went away this weekend! It felt like summer had officially started. To celebrate I whipped up some Watermelon Limeade. It is my new favorite drink.

Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Mediterranean Rub
June 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment
During the week any cooking I do must be easy and quick. After working all day I am not inspired to spend hours in the kitchen. This time of year there are so many recipes that are simple but tasty. Last week I cooked dinner for a friend and tried this easy new recipe for grilled rib eye steak that fits the weekday requirement. You make the rub, put it on the steaks and refrigerate until you are ready to cook. How easy is that!
Toll House Pie

Last week I lured my friend Karl over to help me with some home project this single girl couldn’t do on her own. The lure came with the promise of dinner. It was a good excuse to make a steak dish, since I don’t eat meat. That explains why it is a rare blog entry that will feature beef here on Adventures In The Kitchen. For dessert I needed something quick and had all the ingredients to make a Toll House Pie. It is a cookie in a pie. It is sinfully good and people will want more even while [...]
Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad

I spent my weekend wrestling a bbq. When did it become impossible to find a bbq that was already put together? After putting it together, taking it apart and trying again, I took a break. I think reinforcements will have to be called in. In an attempt to turn my run of bad cooking around I revisited a few tried and true recipes. I first made this salad after having a dinner at my friend Tracy’s. She had found this in Cooking Light. The recipe called for a small toasted bread slice topped with goat cheese. I decided to incorporate [...]
Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes

It would appear that I lost my cooking mojo and spent the last few weeks trying to find it. I couldn’t make a dish and have it turn out to save my life. Some bad chicken wings, muffins with no flavor, I could go on forever. It was time to turn to a few tried and true recipes to get my mojo back! When I decided to be a personal chef several years ago I went to the Institute of Culinary Education in New York for an intensive week long course. It was so much fun and I picked up [...]
Carmelized Peach and Goat Cheese Quesadilla
June 1, 2009 By 6 Comments
When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. The first time I only had goat cheese and it was good. Yesterday I made it again, this time with brie. It was perfection. The great thing is you can pre-make all the ingredients. Put the quesadillas together, stack them and you are ready to grill. These will be the hit appetizer of your party or bbq. Serve with a salad for lunch.
