As promised, here’s my second St. Patrick’s Day post. But since I did my green and savory post on Monday, today’s post is dedicated to the sweet side of things. I’m a big fan of stout brownies which are another great idea for the holiday. But since I’ve already done that post, I thought I’d… Continue reading Irish Chocolate Whiskey Cake

Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Since St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s posts to all things that are green and/or Irish. Today’s post is both. Well, it’s not exactly Irish per se, but it’s made with potatoes which a lot of people associate with Ireland thanks to the great Irish Potato Famine of the mid… Continue reading Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Wagon Wheel Cincinnati Chili
Up until a few months ago, I had no idea what Cincinnati chili was. I just figured it was another kind of chili that Cincinnati-ites had done something special to to claim as their own; kinda like Texas chili which is chili without any beans. Since I like beans in chili, I guess my chili… Continue reading Wagon Wheel Cincinnati Chili
Screwdriver
I know I’ve been doing a lot of citrus posts recently but that’s because they’re so abundant right now. Between the Satsuma tangerines, the Meyer lemons and those awesome blood oranges, it’s easy to have a different citrus every night and still not have tried them all. Which brings me to this week’s cocktail. The… Continue reading Screwdriver
Italian Wedding Soup
As a baker and cook I sometimes find myself looking for the most complicated thing to make for dinner because I feel like if I’m not making the product from 100% scratch then I’m not really cooking. I know it’s stupid but I’ve just never been one of those bakers who makes cakes or cookies… Continue reading Italian Wedding Soup
Diamond Fizz Cocktail
I was pulling my hair out this week trying to decide what vintage cocktail to bring you. Should I do a whiskey drink? What about vodka? Or maybe gin. But then I remembered that the Academy Awards are this Sunday, so I thought I should do something a little fancier. How can a cocktail be… Continue reading Diamond Fizz Cocktail
Vietnamese Chicken Meatballs
Once or twice a week my family either goes out to dinner or we do takeout. But since there are five other nights of the week that means there are five other nights when I have to make dinner for the family. Okay, I don’t have to make dinner, I want to; and that means… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Meatballs
Baileys Marshmallows
The weather’s been insane here in Southern California. One week it’ll be in the low 50’s and rainy and the next it’ll be sunny and in the low 80’s. I don’t know whether to pack up my winter clothes or wear them. It’s nutty and also kind of annoying. But even with the temperature ping… Continue reading Baileys Marshmallows
Blood Orange Valentines
You know what I love about this time of year? All the citrus available. I’m such a huge lemon and orange fan, I’d love to have a tree or two of my very own. Actually we do have a lemon tree, but for some weird reason it’s never taken root. I don’t know why, we’ve… Continue reading Blood Orange Valentines
Pink Lady Cocktail
I know what you’re thinking… another frou frou drink for the ladies to help celebrate Valentine’s Day. Well, have I got a surprise for you. While the name and color may evoke smirks and giggles, this drink is anything but girly. Yes, it’s true – I chose this week’s classic cocktail because of it’s pink… Continue reading Pink Lady Cocktail
Farmer’s Market Guest Post for Mommy Hiker
I was honored and touched to be asked by my friend and fellow blogger, Jennifer Fontaine, to do a guest post for her today over on her blog, Mommy Hiker. While it’s true that she’s a mommy blogger and I’m a food blogger, her blog focuses on outdoor adventures with her daughter. And what better… Continue reading Farmer’s Market Guest Post for Mommy Hiker
