I am always happy when I see Meyer Lemons return to the store. I am a lemon fiend but these are a notch above with a sweeter flavor. I traditionally make lemon risotto with them but decided to try a new take on my favorite recipe. I diced a green chile, several cloves of garlic…
December is here and Christmas Cookie baking is in progress. I will have lots to share soon but today wanted to share these delicious Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes. They have a nutty butter taste and make for a great side dish. …
I know that most of you will have chosen your Thanksgiving dishes by now but I wanted to share a few more recipes with you. Today it is Sweet Potato Casserole with Cinnamon Meringue. It was only a few years ago that I started to like sweet potatoes. I started with the old school yams…
I spent the weekend in beautiful Napa. It was a weekend of delicious food, film and wine! I can’t wait to share about my trip but that will have to wait. I do have to say Bottega is my new favorite restaurant. But more about that later. Today we are talking Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is next…
It is the weekend. Who else is doing the happy dance? In a sea of Halloween candy and sweets I thought I would serve up a delicious and light salad. I have lots of fall baking on calendar this weekend along with…
When I was little special family dinners included twice baked potatoes. They were a little crunchy on top and creamy, like mashed potatoes on the inside. When I knew Mom was making them I would look forward with anticipation all day. Just last week when I asked a friend of mine what he had for…

Roasted potatoes are so easy and a great side for barbecues. You put them in the oven and forget out about them until the timer goes off. I served them with this Peach Chicken at a outdoor shindig. My first week at work was halted when I came down with some horrid virus. I don’t…
On a hot summer day I think many of us are reticent to turn on the oven or even heat up the barbecue. I know I go for easy and refreshing food. One of my good friends was visiting last week and we went to True Foods, a restaurant by. I had their Summer Chopped…
When summer comes around I love mixing grilled fruit with salad so this week made a Grilled Apricot, Cherries, Pancetta and Goat Cheese Salad. I was at the local farmers market and bought a bag of sweet dark cherries. They are my summer candy. I love the dark crimson color and the sweetness of the…
Memorial Day weekend is here and one of the dishes I plan to make for a barbecue is this Asian Coleslaw. I am not of fan mayonnaise based salads. I am sure that puts me in the minority but luckily I discovered that oil and vinegar based coleslaws are pretty tasty. I first made this…
Last week I made a Barbecue Chicken Salad for 60 teenage moms. One of the joys of unemployment is having the time to serve and volunteer. Frister’s is a non profit program for teen moms that helps to empower them so that they can lead successful, self sufficient lives. My friend Ali started this seven…
