One of my niece and nephews favorite dishes is my mom’s Sloppy Joe’s. A few weeks ago I decided to turn it into a casserole. The kids liked it and even my brother thought it was great. His compliment meant a lot because my brother was the guinea pig for my early cooking. During his…
Tomorrow is August 1, where has the summer gone? I spent last weekend at the San Diego Comic Con. I am telling you, the people watching doesn’t get any better than that place. Where else can you see grown adults and their children dressed as their favorite super hero mixed with the stars of your…
I love cherries. They say summer to me. I love both the Bing and Rainer cherries. Just seeing them makes me happy. There is nothing better than sitting with a bowl of cherries. So I finally took the next step. I bought a cherry pitter. There are so many great cherry based recipes but not…
With it being so hot this last week I find myself less hungry and having little desire to turn the oven on. The being less hungry is a good thing. I am so thankful to be in a different place this year after roasting in my apartment last summer. There were days last year where…
I was playing around in the kitchen today and decide to spice up cream corn. There are two restaurants here in Orange County that serve up delicious cream corn, Gulliver’s and The Summit House. We used to go each year to celebrate my mom’s birthday at The Summit House. It is an English restaurant and…
I have fun news about Adventures in the Kitchen. The nice folks over at Hostess With The Mostess invited me to share a few of my recipes with their readers. I did my little happy dance and was humbled that they were fans of my little blog. Then I ran into the kitchen to start…
Summer is full of fresh vegetables and fruit. There are so many options that are both simple and fresh. Corn is one of my favorite summer treats. I love fresh sweet corn right off the cob. It is great in salads and this is one of my new favorites. The tangy jalapeno lime vinaigrette with…
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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
