Our grilled farmer’s market pasta is created with colorful grill vegetables tossed with pasta and a simple parmesan vinaigrette. This weekend we celebrate Labor Day. Celebrate with this Grilled Farmer’s Market Pasta. This pasta is filled with grilled fresh veggies, fresh herbs, and a Parmesan Vinaigrette. Growing up Labor Day represented the last hurrah of…
Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year – time change! It stays light longer meaning spring is just around the corner. To celebrate I decided to cook a risotto that would bridge the gap. I made a Butternut Squash Risotto with Lemon Garlic Snap Peas using Land O Lakes Butter with Canola…
I have had the pleasure of working with Mountain High Yoghurt to develop several recipes. This last year I discovered how easy it is to reduce the fat in your favorite dishes by substituting yogurt. Substitute cream or butter for equal amounts of yogurt and you have a healthy alternative. Spicy Penne All Vodka is…
The last few months I have finally been able to attend the Foodbloggers of LA meetings. They have a solid and quite large group of bloggers. It has been fun to meet some of the other local bloggers who share my love of food. This month the theme was Kalepalooza so I made Skinny White…
Happy New Year! I am looking forward to 2013 and what lies ahead. Today I am taking time to reflect and plan for the new year but I wanted to share a recipe for Mexican Fusilli that I developed for Muir Glen and Pillsbury. It is on their site today. If you are looking to cut…
Today I am sharing a simple Roman pasta dish, Cacio e Pepe, made with a handful a few ingredients. If you grew up enjoying a bowl of buttered noodles this is a grown up version. The spice comes from cooking black pepper in the hot butter. Pasta is a comfort food. I find myself in…
Sometimes when I get home from work I want a quick meal with little clean up. Bucatini Oregano is made in one pot in the time it takes to boil the pasta. That is my idea of a quick meal. With Muir Glen you know you are getting quality, flavorful tomatoes. While the pasta is…
I have a treat for you today. Angela Reed, The Parisienne Farmgirl, is here to share her recipe for Lemon Pepper Pasta with you.

It was a crazy weekend and now it is November 1. I had two photo shoots – one that I did with a fun new Thanksgiving freebie I will be offering this weekend and then one my friend Jeff of Jeff Wallace Photography did. We had a great time and I can’t wait to share…
Slow roasted tomatoes taste like candy. As they cook they sweeten and I can just pop a few in my mouth after they cool. We have had a pleasantly cool fall for Southern California and this Roasted Tomatoes, Corn and Burrata Cheese Fettucine is a perfect way to use the end of season corn and…
Last week with the help of my sister-in-law Joy, I put on a Cooking Party for my niece Olivia and several of her friends. We were going to make Lasagna Roll Up as the main dish. It was a beautiful day so we started outside making our chef hats. Using letters I had cut out…
Cooking Light arrived last week and featured a recipe for delicious Linguine with Green Peas and Pancetta. We have had “cold for southern California” weather and more rain, but rumor has it, spring will be seen this week. I love green peas and was anxious to try the combination with pancetta and shallots. I fiddled…
