We blinked and summer passed. Time just flies by as we get older. To console myself I made and fell in love with these Kung Pao Tacos. They are sweet and spicy topped with a Lime Mango Salsa. Seriously, where did summer go? I am thankful it was a mild summer with beautiful California days….
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…
The days seem to be fly together, today is Palm Sunday and April1. Doesn’t it just seem like we were celebrating New Year’s? Usually we are having warm balmy days here in Southern California but it has been cold and rainy of late. I’ve been baking a great deal so I was craving protein and…
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were filled with special times with family and friends. By New Year’s day I am ready for healthy food. The sweets and rich food, even when you try to watch it, can get the best of you. I find my body starts craving healthy and fresh. Today, I…
It is August 1st and I am going back to work after a lovely 4 month break. This weekend was the launch of AIK radio and thank you to all who tuned in. It has been a bit busy around here but one night last week I recreated my favorite chicken bowl from Chipotle!…

I have cooked up some tasty Mexican meals but that old picky eater thing kept rearing it’s ugly head. Well, recently I took a step to overcome that. I created these…

It has been a bit quiet here at Adventures in the Kitchen. I recently went through a transition from my job. I am excited and dreaming about what the future holds. With Easter this week I have a few recipes to share this week that might be a good addition to your meal. This Lemon…
Certain foods evoke memories from our past. Chicken Pot Pie is one those foods in our family. Growing up we went to La Palma Chicken Pie Shop. It was a classic restaurant serving down home comfort food. Chicken Pot Pies were and still are their specialty. We went there often and sometimes Mom would bring…
True confession time. I have a cookbook addiction. It’s a bit of a problem. Bookcases full of cookbooks new and old. Early Betty Crocker and Better Homes and Gardens. Julia, Dorie, Bobby and Nancy all fill my shelves. One of my favorite cookbooks from my early days in the kitchen was Jim Fobel’s Big Flavors….
One of my favorite Chinese take out foods is Kung Pao Chicken. I love the fiery heat of the peppers mixed with the crunch of peanuts. Down by the beach one of my favorite restaurants, PF Chang’s, has a takeout place. I miss it because here in my neighborhood there are not many great options….
Web Development his weekend I was in the kitchen making Chicken with a Pomegranate Shallot Pan sauce that exceeded my expectations. The nice folks at POM had sent me samples of their pomegranate juice to try. I found a recipe in Cooking Light and then played with the sauce. It turned out…
