With spring comes the desire to eat healthier and maybe for some, eat a bit less. Combining those desires with the urge to save on my lunches, I decided to make up a salad to bring for work this week. If you’re planning on taking this for lunch place the red onion in a baggie…
Iam excited to announce that April is Giveaway month at Adventures in the Kitchen. Each week in April there will be a new giveaway. The first is an Ice Cream Party Pack with a Boston Warehouse Ice Cream Lazy Susan, The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz and a pink ice cream scoop by Zyliss. The…
One of my favorite things to do with the kids is to cook. Engaging children in cooking opens them up to trying new foods and encourages experimentation. Cooking with kids requires some pre-planning to be successful, especially when cooking with several children. Involve them in the recipe process. Look through cookbooks together and let them…
I had my first dinner party in my new place. I had forgotten how much I love to entertain. It is fun to actually have a table where I can have more than one friend over at a time. It was great to share my new home with my friends, who are always willing taste…
Growing up it was a family tradition on Saturday to go to Bullocks for lunch. It was quite the generational outing that included my mom, grandmother, great grandmothers and aunts. The event was usually for a birthday or special celebration. We would get there early and shop for a while. Then we would go into…
This week Anne of Anne Strawberry chose Tomato and Goat Cheese Tarts from Ina Garten’s Back to Basics. Halfway through making these I realized I had made these for a dinner party in December. Well, these were just as yummy the second time. I made them into little individual size tartlets, just like the first…

I have been cooking up a storm and am excited to share the new recipes with you. This weekend I made Banana Nut Bread. Three bananas were starting to ripen and calling out to be made. I looked at my cookbooks and saw Pastries from La Brea Bakery. The recipe was from created by one…
Today is my first official entry with the Barefoot Bloggers. I told you about them here. I don’t know that I have ever been disappointed by one of Ina Garten’s recipe so it will be fun to cook through her books with fellow Barefoot Bloggers. The Brownie Pudding is a cross between brownies and lava…
Today I am serving you up Sweet Molly’s; a cookie from my past. There used to be a bakery in Yorba Linda called Sweet Nicks, and they served the best cookie with butterscotch and potato chips. The cookie became so popular that the city named it the “Official Cookie of Yorba Linda”. Over the last…
Several years ago on a trip to Australia I discovered Donna Hay, a cookbook author. She has published many cookbooks and a magazine. She is the Aussie Martha but with a more straightforward Australian approach. Many of her recipes are quick and easy. She has 5, 10 & 15 minute recipes with a no fuss…
