I have had a few shrimp recipes waiting to be tried so I thought I would try both in one weekend. A little shrimp cook off shall we? The first was from Cooking Light and featured a Jalapeno Lime Marinade. This one is easy. Marinade for a half hour and off to the grill. This…
Who doesn’t enjoy a good chocolate chip cookie? While visiting Joy the Baker last week she was testing out chocolate chip cookies based on an article in the New York Times. The author was advocating for refrigerating the dough 24 hours before cooking for the best cookie. Looking at the site I saw they had…
My aunt gave me this book called My Last Supper by Melanie Dunea. It features 50 top chefs and what they would chose for their last meal. It is a fun read and features recipes from each of the meals. Some of quite fancy and some are down to earth. I am more on the…
Summer leads to a craving for salads. With an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables it is easy to put together a light summer salad. When it is hot out, the last thing you want to do is heat up your kitchen or cook over a hot stove. One of my favorite salads is one…

At my local farmers market almost every booth has white peaches. I love the flavor of them and try to incorporate them into many dishes over the summer. There is nothing like going to the market, supporting local growers and coming home to create new dishes. Last year I discovered a great recipe by Bobby…
Today I decided to make a pizza using some of the veggies I had left over from the week. At Pizzeria Mozza, my favorite restaurant in LA, they make this goat cheese pizza with caramelized shallots, leeks, garlic and bacon. I decided to make my own version. Nothing can compare to Nancy Silverton’s dough so…
