Two years ago I was in Italy around this time of year. A group of friends went to stay in a villa in Tuscany. Ok, villa makes it sound so grand. Maybe a bit grander than the house really was, but it was Italy. Food was a huge part of our trip. We ate at…
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…

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…
