Ever since the new year started I’ve been trying to eat healthier. No, it wasn’t a New Year’s resolution, I just decided it was time. I mean, I’ve spent the past year stuck in the house eating and drinking all the bad (ie yummy) stuff like cookies, ice cream and cocktails. So, I decided it… Continue reading Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit Sauce

Millionaire Cocktail
In case you weren’t aware, Thursday was April 15th, the day when the IRS reaches into our pockets and takes a year off our life. Yes, there are a lucky few who escape the horror that is Tax Day, but most of us usually have to pay out in one way or another. This year… Continue reading Millionaire Cocktail
Chocolate Orange Brownie Cookies
There are two things I can never get enough of: chocolate and fruit. I love them apart but I love them even more when they’re together. While my favorite chocolate and fruit combinations are chocolate covered strawberries and cherries, I was never a fan of the orange or lemon peels dipped in chocolate. I just… Continue reading Chocolate Orange Brownie Cookies
Strawberry Basil Mule
With spring ramping up and the weather getting warmer, it’s time to start thinking about spring and summer cocktails. These are the drinks that are full of fruit and bubbles. The drinks that are brightly colored and cool to the touch. The drinks that can (and should) be enjoyed on the beach or lounging by… Continue reading Strawberry Basil Mule
Lemon Lavender Tart
With Easter on Sunday, now’s the time for festive tables and bright colored desserts. Sure, chocolate is always a winner, but with those Easter baskets full of chocolate bunnies and eggs, a fruity dessert seems like the perfect choice to don your table. While strawberries are starting to appear at local farmers markets, Meyer lemons… Continue reading Lemon Lavender Tart
Champagne Bowler
With Passover this weekend and Easter next weekend, it seems like the perfect time to break out the spring cocktails. What’s a spring cocktail? Drinks with bubbles and/or fruit. I love a good spring or summer drink. As the weather warms up, now is the time to imbibe those cocktails that are on the lighter… Continue reading Champagne Bowler
Coconut Macaroon Brownies
Saturday is the first night of Passover. As a Jew, Passover is always one of the hardest holidays to celebrate. A lot of people think it’s Yom Kippur because of the day of fasting. But not eating for 24 hours is pretty easy in comparison with regulating what you can and can’t eat during the… Continue reading Coconut Macaroon Brownies
Lion’s Tail
After last week’s St. Patrick’s Day Irish whiskey cocktail, I wanted to keep with the whiskey theme. So, we’re going with bourbon and the Lion’s Tail today. Now before you get all over me, bourbon is a whiskey, it’s just made a little differently. See, all whiskies, Irish, American, Scottish, etc. are made with some type… Continue reading Lion’s Tail
Boston Cream Pie
In case you didn’t hear, today is St. Patrick’s Day and you’re probably seeing a ton of Instagram and blog posts for corned beef and cabbage and green cocktails. (Yes, I did one too.) Well, I couldn’t come up with another corned beef recipe. I mean, how many different ways can you prepare corned beef?… Continue reading Boston Cream Pie
Tipperary Cocktail
So, St. Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday, and like most events over the past year, I’m sure this year’s festivities “will look a little (or a lot) different”. Here in California bars aren’t open yet for indoor dining. If you live anywhere else in the country, however, you may be able to celebrate at your… Continue reading Tipperary Cocktail
Orange-Curry Chicken with Dried Cranberries
Believe it or not, it’s still citrus season here in sunny southern California. Okay, I know you can get oranges in the grocery store year round. But winter is when there are the most varieties and those little oranges spheres are at their sweetest. While I love a good stone fruit, I can never get… Continue reading Orange-Curry Chicken with Dried Cranberries
