I’ve talked before about how I love cherries and especially Tartarians. They’re plump, juicy dark cherries that are out of this world delicious. I’ll eat them straight out of the basket, on top of cottage cheese or mixed into a cake. Although I still need to try them on a savory dish like chicken or… Continue reading Cherry Bruschetta

Southside Fizz
We’ve finally got some hot weather here in Southern California. The May Gray has been non-stop recently. Usually when we have May Gray in Los Angeles, it lasts for a few days and then disappears until June when June Gloom hits with a vengeance. But for some reason this year, the May Gray has been… Continue reading Southside Fizz
Creamy Mushroom Dutch Baby
I love breakfast. If I could eat it for every meal, I would. But then I thought about it. Why couldn’t I eat breakfast for every meal? I mean, I could start with yogurt and granola and then I could have something egg-based for lunch and finish off with a savory pancake or waffle for… Continue reading Creamy Mushroom Dutch Baby
Cherry Sherry Cobbler
It’s cherry season and if you follow this blog, you know that I love cherries. While I love all types of cherries from Bings to Rainiers, I wait all year for one specific type of cherry: the Tartarian. Tartarians are a big, deep red, plump, sweet cherry that are unlike anything else out there. They’re… Continue reading Cherry Sherry Cobbler
Scallion Pesto Chicken
It’s a three day weekend this weekend, and three day weekends always have me torn. I mean, it’s great that we have an extra day to lounge and hang out. But it also means that the kids are out of school for an extra day. So, now we have to find something for them to… Continue reading Scallion Pesto Chicken
English Garden Smash
There’s a big event happening this weekend. You’ve probably heard something about it here and there. And if you haven’t, then you’ve clearly been living under a rock for the past couple weeks. I’m talking about the Royal Wedding. Yes, finally, Prince Henry and Meghan Markle are getting married. All the festivities kick off at… Continue reading English Garden Smash
Lemon Butter Cake with Strawberries
I love butter. I didn’t used to. Like most kids who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, I didn’t even know what butter was. See, my mom stocked margarine in her fridge because back then we were all taught that margarine was healthier than butter. Of course now we know differently which is why… Continue reading Lemon Butter Cake with Strawberries
White Sangria
When most people think of sangria, they think of wine mixed with fruit, but the classic sangria has a little more oomph. A classic sangria is made up of wine and fruit, but also has hard alcohol. Like I said, oomph. A red sangria usually has red wine and brandy and is ideal for the… Continue reading White Sangria
Ham & Cream Cheese Scramble
I love going out for breakfast. I usually get something off the griddle like pancakes or French toast, but every so often all I want is a big batch of scrambled eggs and bacon. It’s mornings like those that made me think of this delicious treat that’s easy to make and perfect for Mom on… Continue reading Ham & Cream Cheese Scramble
Sangrita
No, this isn’t a different kind of of Sangria (that’ll come in the next week or two). This is actually a non-alcoholic drink from Mexico that’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow. Why would I talk about a virgin drink on the blog? Because last week I talked about the Paloma: an alternative to the… Continue reading Sangrita
Mexican Rice
I love to cook. But there are those nights (usually on the weekends) when the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. Those are the nights we order in. (Yes, it’s true. Even I like someone else to do the cooking on occasion.) A lot of times we’ll order pizza… you… Continue reading Mexican Rice
