A few days before the party I decided the meal needed something more to round it out and so I chose this salad. It is tasty and very colorful. This dish highlights all the tasty tomotoes in season right now. When topped with the tangy Maui Onion Dressing this salad will perk up your party…
This weekend I was up in Napa Valley for business. It’s hard to even type that with a straight face, but I did work! For lunch the first day we went to the Rutherford Grill. It was clearly a local favorite. We sat at the bar and had a blast talking to the bartender, a…
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…
