Something about turning our clocks forward, longer daylight and warm spring days made me go looking for summer recipes. Simple dishes that can be put together. Mango Coconut RIce is a dish I discovered a few years back and make often in the summer. This is a great side dish for any type of grilled…
When I was a little girl my mom would bake this coffee cake from the Bisquick box. Do you remember those? I loved the chunks of cinnamon sugar topping. I would count the minutes until it came out of the oven. On a cold, rainy Saturday morning nothing tasted better. I wish you could smell…
Earlier, I raved about Pizzeria Mozza, a great little restaurant in Los Angeles and what great food they have. Their signature dessert that everyone raves about is called Butterscotch Budino with Caramel Sauce. The first time I visited Mozza the waiter recommended it. I have made this two times at home. The recipe was featured…
I thought we needed something light after all that baking. Here in Southern California it is a warm, beautiful day. Don’t hate me, in June when it is hot elsewhere, we have what we call June gloom. This is light and flavorful salad. I used Meyer Lemons, because they are in season, but you can…
So this is my first post with Tuesdays with Dorie. They are a group cooking their way through Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Kitchen to Yours cookbook. I had only recently heard about Dorie and was intrigued so I picked up the book and gave it a try. These are like homemade Snickers bars. I…
Today I am entering my very first foodie blog event – the Master Bake challenge. This is an event created by Nikki and this is the first month of the challenge. I am looking forward to meeting other food bloggers and see what they create. This months ingredient is cinnamon. Deciding to do this the…
Every year I get together with a group of friends to watch the Academy Awards. I don’t think I have missed a year since I was a child. My family loves movies and the awards shows are always entertaining. My friend Carol and I have thrown several large parties over the years but this…
When I was little we would go to this breakfast place where I discovered German Pancakes. They are puffy, light pancakes reminiscent of popovers, another childhood favorite. You had to wait, as they are made to order, and out would come this giant, golden brown delight! The great thing is most of the items you…
I needed a quick dessert to bring for a meeting. I had some cream cheese in the frig so I decided to try these. I just bought a new to me cookbook, Gale Gand’s Chocolate and Vanilla Cookbook. They are easy to make. The recipe is from Gale Gand’s Chocolate & Vanilla Cookbook.
I am excited to share this recipe with you. About a year ago, my cousin and fellow foodie, Cassie, went to Pizzeria Mozza to check out Nancy Silverton’s newest restaurant. The restaurant is in Los Angeles and is a collaboration between Nancy and Mario Batali. I’ll tell you more about the restaurant another day. I…
At my local farmers market this weekend almost every stand featured Meyer Lemons. I bought a bag with plans to use them in several recipes. Meyer Lemons are sweet lemons that are thought to be a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. One of the ways I love to…
Today I made my favorite soup. It is Ina Garten’s Roasted Tomato Soup. I love it because it is bursting with flavor and is earthy and very rustic. The Goat Cheese Biscuits I talked about earlier would be a great side to this soup. While it might take a while, most of it waiting for…
