The Emmy’s are on Monday. I know it’s not as prestigious as the Academy Awards, but I’m a big TV fan. (I actually prefer it over the silver screen.) So, every year I get some Chinese Food and watch the show. While I usually have a glass of wine or beer with dinner, this year,… Continue reading Tuxedo Cocktail

Hatch Chile Sloppy Joes
It’s that time of year again: Hatch Chile season! If you’re a chile fan, this is the time to strike. Every August and September Hatch Chiles start popping up everywhere from Gelsons to farmers markets to Melissa’s Produce. So, I make sure to grab a bunch at a local roasting and get to cookin’! While… Continue reading Hatch Chile Sloppy Joes
September Morn Cocktail
Well, we’ve finally hit September. As I mentioned earlier this week, that means the kids are finally in school and the leaves are starting to fall… or they should be. While it is September, autumn doesn’t officially start until September 22nd, which means leaves have yet to fall from their trees, and it’s still in… Continue reading September Morn Cocktail
Lemony Brisket with Pomegranate Gremolata
Monday was Labor Day and that usually means one of two things. The kids are finally back in school and Rosh Hashana is right around the corner. I love Rosh Hashana. It means apples and honey, challah and brisket, and plenty of wine. All that delicious food… I just can’t get enough. So, since Rosh… Continue reading Lemony Brisket with Pomegranate Gremolata
Nutty Swizzle
We’re in our final weekend of the summer. It’s time to let loose and party! That means barbecues, hot dogs, hamburgers and plenty of desserts. There’s just one thing missing: a good… no a great cocktail! Well, as always I’m here to help with that. So this week, I created my own concoction called a… Continue reading Nutty Swizzle
Salt Slab Brownie S’mores
Labor Day is Monday, which means it’s a three-day weekend. And that means there’s time for one more party before school is back in session and work is all adults think about. Most of these parties involve backyards and barbecues, which means hot dogs and burgers. Both are easy and delicious options for this weekend,… Continue reading Salt Slab Brownie S’mores
Caipirinha
Tiki Oasis happened last weekend and I had the perfect cocktail all teed up and ready to bring you in honor of the grand event. But then life happened and somehow the post never went live. So, rather than toss it, I thought I’d share it with you this week. After all it’s still a… Continue reading Caipirinha
Grilled Fennel-rubbed Pork Chops with Nectarines
During the summer there’s one thing I love to do, and that’s grill. I know, I know… I’ve been talking about grilling a lot recently, but that’s because when it’s this hot out, the last thing I want to do is cook inside. I mean, my house is already hot enough, why in the world… Continue reading Grilled Fennel-rubbed Pork Chops with Nectarines
Salmon with Ginger Corn Salsa
I love summer because this is the time when all the stone fruits and berries are in season. They’re just amazing, and so, so sweet, it’s like dessert right off the tree. But there isn’t just all that wonderful fruit. There’s also some awesome veggies out there like green beans, beets and my personal favorite… Continue reading Salmon with Ginger Corn Salsa
Pupule
Tiki Oasis is next weekend. Unfortunately, I won’t be there. A lot of people I know and follow on social media will be, though, and I’m super bummed I can’t go. But you know… life. The closest I’ve ever come to Oasis was Mission Tiki which is a drive-in theater and swap meet filled with… Continue reading Pupule
Chili Chicken with Peach-Lime Sauce
Peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits. It actually might be my absolute. I always load up on them at the farmer’s market every week. I usually use them in desserts and salads. But every so often I like to add them to dinners for a little pop of sweetness, and this chicken dish… Continue reading Chili Chicken with Peach-Lime Sauce
