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

Apple Pie Pork Chops

Back in the “old world” before Covid, I used to get together with several other bloggers at Melissa’s Produce. We’d talk and enjoy an amazing lunch and then have a Q&A with a specific chef about their newest cookbook. Photos would be taken, there would be cooking demos and so. Much. Food. We were actually… Continue reading Apple Pie Pork Chops

Cranberry-stuffed Pork Chops

I know Thanksgiving is considered the big cranberry holiday, but who says it has to stop there? Who says once Thanksgiving is over you have to put the cranberries away until next year? I mean, plenty of people still have turkey year round. So, why can’t you have cranberries in the spring or summer? You… Continue reading Cranberry-stuffed Pork Chops

Lemon & Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

Every year I’m in one of two places for Thanksgiving. I’m either here in Redondo Beach hosting the holiday, or I’m up in Marin helping my mother while she hosts.

One of the perks of working in the food and cocktail industry is that I get to attend events at produce companies, bars, distilleries… you name it. If it has something to do with food, odds are I’ve been there. But these days I haven’t been much of anywhere. These days, I get a delivery… Continue reading Dill and Feta Orzo Salad with Lemon Chicken

Apples & Honey Mustard Chicken

While it may not feel like it here on the West Coast, believe it or not, we’ve hit fall season. Apples and citrus are starting to line produce shelves and pumpkin spice seems to be everywhere. Once those flavors start showing up, that can only mean one thing: Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur aren’t far… Continue reading Apples & Honey Mustard Chicken

Peach Chicken in a White Wine Sauce with Mozzarella

Today is Wednesday, which means yesterday was Tuesday. And these days Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. I look forward to Tuesday every week because that’s the day I drop the kids at camp (or school whenever the hell that happens) and go to the farmer’s market. Farmer’s Market I love going to… Continue reading Peach Chicken in a White Wine Sauce with Mozzarella

Grilled Salmon with Lemon Relish

When staying at home merges with 80 degree heat and no air conditioning, one thing happens for me in regards to cooking: I move my kitchen outside. That’s right, warm weather means it’s time to fire up my grill. I love my grill! I’ll grill anything from meat or fish to fruits and vegetables. I’ve… Continue reading Grilled Salmon with Lemon Relish
