Do you ever feel like time is just rushing by. This month has been crazy so it is only fitting that March madness is here. Recently, I was invited by Old El Paso® to create a couple of recipes for their Traditional Refried Beans. For the first one I created a Boozy Bacon Bean Dip….
Today I am sharing the simplest of recipes to start off your next party. This Goat Cheese Pasilla Dip is amazing. It is creamy but with a little kick and the subtle flavor of pepitas. While in Napa last fall I bought a jar of this delicious Jalapeño Jam. I have used a teaspoon here…
I am off an adventure for a few days in Minneapolis. I look forward to sharing it with you next week. The weather is warming up and you know what that means-grill time! I already have been grilling quite a bit. For Mother’s Day I grilled Teriyaki Steaks and Chicken that were marinated in a…
I had a craving for Buffalo Wing something so I started looking around for inspiration. I saw this and then this and decided to give it a try. I made Buffalo Chicken Nachos for Two. Of course, you can upsize for a crowd with the Super Bowl this coming weekend. In my college days we…
I asked the boys where they wanted to go to dinner Friday night. Chase screamed Bruxie’s and excitedly shared how amazing it was. Luke agreed so we made the trek to the new one on Birch Street. There was a line, but it went pretty quickly. The boys were both in rare form, cracking each…
I made these Rosemary Thyme Pita Chips for my Oscar party a few weeks ago. I saw the recipe on Food 52 and knew this would be a good one. The honey coated pita sprinkled with fresh herbs and sea salt makes for a crisp and tasty chip. You can play around with it….
I’ve been serving up sweet after sweet here and thought it might be time to take a break from Holiday Baking. Today I am serving up a delicious Roasted Pepper Soup with Puff Pastry. Years ago I visited Domaine Chandon in Napa and had this amazing dinner that started with a Tomato Soup topped with…
Have you ever tasted something new and wondered how you could have missed out. That is how I felt about figs. I tasted one a few years ago but didn’t like it. On my recent trip to Napa I tasted Joanne’s brandied figs and fell in love. I have been missing out on a wonderfully…
Last weekend we celebrated my sister in law Joy’s birthday. It was one of those milestone birthdays and so we had a lunch to celebrate the occasion. The menu was mostly salads for a hot summer day but these BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with Smoky Salsa and Buttermilk Dressing caught my eye It was a Bobby…
I am in Napa enjoying the beautiful scenery while working. The vines are heavy with grapes as harvest approaches. This time of year tomatoes is fresh and bountiful. The Italian dish Bruschetta marries the flavors of just picked tomatoes with garlic and fresh basil. Roma tomatoes are commonly used but I have also used heirloom…
[donotprint] Today I give you foodie crack. I am warning you these are terribly addictive. You need to make extra because you will eat a few before they make the serving plate. Last weekend I brought these to my good friend Carol’s annual Christmas party. One partygoer ate more than half of them. He commented…
