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…
Homemade barbeque sauces are so much better than what you find in a bottle. The fresh ingredients make for a more flavorful sauce. I found this new recipe for Barbecued Raspberry Hoisin chicken over at eatingwell.com.
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…
This time of year is all about family and friends. Our days are spent lounging by the pool or playing at the beach. At the end of the day we don’t want to slave over a hot stove, but have something that is easy to pop on the grill. This weekend I made Grilled Chicken…
It is Memorial Day and while you might assume I’d be grilling, I am at the OC airport waiting to fly to Denver. But I am still gearing up for grill time. Summer is just around the corner. If you are looking for a new way to grill chicken and keep it low cal you…
I was looking for something extra to round out my menu for a recent barbeque and found this berry salad. It is so easy but it packs a punch. The balsamic brown sugar sauce leaves your guests wanting to lick the bowl. Maybe that was just my group of friends. Not sure what that says…
This weekend we celebrated my friend Tracy’s birthday with a little barbeque at a friends house. I was looking for a simple cake to bring for our celebration when I stumbled onto this Strawberry Cake. Strawberries are in season and I thought they would go great with our meal. It is an easy cake to…
I don’t know what your favorite candy is, but I have always loved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I love the sweet and salty combination. When I moved a few months ago I had the opportunity to get out all of my cookbooks that had been boxed in a garage for a few years. One of…
