I love a good mystery and imagine my excitement to find a series of murder mysteries featuring a caterer. Authored by Diane Mott Davidson, the series features Goldy Schultz and each novel is full of recipes from the novel. They are dangerous to read while hungry. On the way to Vegas two weeks ago I…
Recently Martha Stewart aired a show on blogging and included several food bloggers including Matt of Matt Bites. She also created a contest asking people to leave their blog name and site and link back to her blog entry. She will select several blogs to feature on her own blog, The Martha Blog. I have…
This week we were teased by cool fall weather here in Southern California. Teased in between 90 degree days. Fall is my favorite time of year. I might have mentioned that I was a picky eater growing up. Soups were not on my menu. Boy, did I miss out. Cooking has opened up the door…
To round out the dessert table I served a Tropical Fruit Kebab. Fruit is a great alternative to sweets. These days so many are gluten free or on a special diet so fruit offers a sweet and juicy addition to the menu. This is a recipe that you could involve your children in helping to…
I have had this itch to make peach ice cream for over a year now. Today, I decided to to do it and did a search for a recipe. This one on a blog site called Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy featuring roasted peaches made me stop and run to the kitchen to start roasting. The…
We are taking a break from the party recipes to share this yummy cake I made last week. The brown sugar cake topped with caramel frosting is so good you should plan on immediately giving it away so you will not be tempted to eat the whole thing. Luckily I had a place to bring…
A few days before the party I decided the meal needed something more to round it out and so I chose this salad. It is tasty and very colorful. This dish highlights all the tasty tomotoes in season right now. When topped with the tangy Maui Onion Dressing this salad will perk up your party…
The party continues…For the main portion of the appetizers I served beef and chicken skewers. The beef marinade was a yummy mix of brown sugar, thai red curry paste, honey and soy. A sweet and spicy sauce that plays off the beef and pineapple. It would be great on chicken too! I decided on this…
Here are the bars shown in the last post. They combine the tastes of chocolate chips cookies and macademia nuts over shortbread. These were easy to mix up and were gobbled up at the party. They can be made up two days before the event. Just store in an airtight container.
I think I fell in love today. No, not my future, but with a new way to use lime in cooking. Have you had those meltaway cookies covered in powdered sugar? They look so appealing from afar but then you take a bite and the cookies are a bit hard. They do not live up…
When my friend Ann asked me to cater her husband’s birthday bash she mentioned Poke that she recently had at a local restaurant. We built the menu around this dish. I had one recipe I had used a few years back but decided to research other recipes a bit more. Many of the dishes on…
The first recipe I will share from the party is the Herb Coated Goat Cheese. It is so flavorful coated with rosemary, thyme, lemon zest and parsley. It has a fresh taste with the tang of lemon. Serve it with toasted crostini or crackers. Herb Coated Goat Cheese Adapted from Giada De Laurentis – Everyday…
