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

Antipasto Tortellini Salad
I’ve talked before how I love the summer. There are so many reasons… the pool, the beach, late night walks on the beach, beautiful sunsets and of course cooking outside. Cooking outside means eating outside and I love eating outside. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a meadow under a big oak tree, at an… Continue reading Antipasto Tortellini Salad
Grilled Chicken with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette
My grill is my favorite cooking appliance… next to my 40’s Western Holly oven of course. One is inside and one is outside, but both make amazing meals when used correctly. While my Western Holly is running constantly from November through May, once the weather warms up in June or July, my grill takes over… Continue reading Grilled Chicken with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette
Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Orzo Salad
The month of July means a lot of things: summer, fireworks, the pool, the beach and of course the grill. Yup, if you haven’t already, it’s time to dust off your grill and get cookin’! I just dusted off mine and I can’t wait to use it. I love that it’s finally warm enough for… Continue reading Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Orzo Salad
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
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
Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Panzanella
There are some nights I’m just not up for making a big and involved dinner. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good piece of chicken steak or fish, but there are just some nights when the last thing I want to do is cook. It’s on those nights that I look for something easy.… Continue reading Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Panzanella
Pork Loin with Blood Orange Salsa
Ever found a recipe that sounds like the perfect meal but then discovered there’s one major ingredient that you’re allergic to so you can’t have it after all? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a great cookie, cocktail, or entree that looks delicious and then come to find it’s made with pineapple… Continue reading Pork Loin with Blood Orange Salsa
Lemony Chicken Thighs with Lemon Salsa Verde
I love lemons. I use them in cocktails, side dishes, salad dressings, sauces and desserts. While I use them for almost every kind of cooking, my favorite way to use lemons is in desserts or sauces. That lemon adds a bright, tart flavor to whatever I’m making. And although I’ll use whatever lemon I can… Continue reading Lemony Chicken Thighs with Lemon Salsa Verde
Hakkari-Style Pot Roasted Chicken and Onions
Passover is next week. So is Easter. And it’s always so hard to find something to serve that will work for both feasts. Ham is a popular choice for Easter but of course you can’t eat it for Passover. Lamb is always good, but so is chicken. I prefer the chicken over lamb because it’s… Continue reading Hakkari-Style Pot Roasted Chicken and Onions
Lemon Ricotta Risotto
I love lemons. Lemonade, lemon cake, lemon bars… Anything that’s made with lemon, I’m in, and that’s perfect because we’re right in the middle of lemon season. But even better than being the middle of lemon season, we’re smack dab in the middle of Meyer Lemon season. Meyer lemons are unlike the more popular Eureka… Continue reading Lemon Ricotta Risotto
