I love waking up and going to the farmer’s market this time of year. Like a kid in the candy store, I always want to buy way more than I need. Recently over at The Good Stuff I offered some tips for making the most of your Farmer’s Market visit. Strawberries Strawberry Salad with Parmesan Crisp …
This weekend it is officially summer but here in Southern California we have enjoyed a beautiful spring. Something I don’t take for granted. A few weeks ago I made this Summer Squash Saute at our first backyard get together. During the summer simplicity is the theme. We have so many fresh ingredients available at our…
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 never fry food. I might love french fries but at home I oven bake them. Then one day I saw a picture with a stack of crispy onion rings and that was it, I whipped out the Ipad and went to Google. Do you remember those bricks of onion rings Tony Roma’s served alongside…
