Saying times are tough seems like the biggest under statement in the world right now. I mean, I was literally curled up in a ball on my bed sobbing last week. The world is on lock down, I can’t find a single chicken breast anywhere, forget about a roll of paper towel or toilet paper,… Continue reading Sausage and Mozzarella Pasta Bake

Lamb and Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie
St. Patrick’s Day is next week and here at Kitchy we love to celebrate. We run the St. Patrick’s Day 5K, I always buy a box of the limited edition St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms for the boys, and I whip up an Irish recipe or two. You know, something that uses Guinness or corned… Continue reading Lamb and Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie
Roasted Orange Lamb Chops
I used to go to the farmers market only in the spring and summer because I thought that’s when all the good fruit showed up. You know, strawberries, peaches, plums… the good fruit. But then I realized lemons, limes and oranges showed up in the winter. I never realized there was a citrus season, but… Continue reading Roasted Orange Lamb Chops
Southwestern Chicken & Dumplings
There’s a freeze going on all over the country. Most of the northern states aren’t event getting into the 30’s. While the temperature hasn’t dipped quite that low here in Los Angeles, there have still been a few chilly nights as of late. When the thermometer dips, that when it’s time for some hot and… Continue reading Southwestern Chicken & Dumplings
Pork Chop Sweet Potato Bake
If there’s one thing I love, it’s sweet potatoes. While they’re great as a main course, I usually enjoy them as a side. That sweet orange flesh is full of rich flavor and so much better than the classic white. I’ve never been a fan of white potatoes. They just don’t have the flavor the… Continue reading Pork Chop Sweet Potato Bake
Slow-Cooker Lamb, Apricot and Olive Tagine
It’s the start of a new year, and that means it’s time to throw out all that candy and chocolate. All those cakes and cookies, all the fattening food and drink that make up most of November and December. In other words, it’s time to get healthy. So, throw out all that bread and grab… Continue reading Slow-Cooker Lamb, Apricot and Olive Tagine
Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
Thanksgiving is just two days away. And if there’s one thing I love about Turkey Day it’s all the food. There’s turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, stuffing and of course dessert. While all those dishes are amazing on Thanksgiving, they’re even better the day after. I love Thanksgiving day leftovers. You could have the same meal… Continue reading Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
Pumpkin Risotto
Everywhere I look these days there are pumpkins. Pumpkin patches on every corner and piles of pumpkins in all the super markets. Halloween is a week away and people are buying pumpkins to decorate their tables and porches. But pumpkins are for more than mere decoration. Pumpkins are also for eating and now is the… Continue reading Pumpkin Risotto
Japanese Lamb Chops
Monday is Rosh Hashana. The beginning of the Jewish new year. The boys have school off which is good because we’ll be spending the day in temple. I know that sounds awful. I mean, I always hated it when I was a kid. But now that I’m an adult I really enjoy spending the day… Continue reading Japanese Lamb Chops

Peach season is still alive and well here in the Southbay. In most parts of the country it’s starting to wind down, but here, there’s a new peach every week. Last week were the August Ladies this week are the O’Henrys. I don’t know what next week will bring, all I know is they’re all… Continue reading Grilled Balsamic Peaches and Pork
Grilled Chicken Thighs in a Mustard Sauce
I know I’ve been doing a lot of grilled recipes as of late, but that’s just because it’s been so hot. So, I’ve been doing a lot of cooking outside. As I’ve mentioned before, I love cooking outside. Don’t get me wrong, I love cooking in general, but using my grill gives me a special… Continue reading Grilled Chicken Thighs in a Mustard Sauce
