No, I’m not doing a cocktail today. I know this is a little out of the ordinary, but every so often I like to break protocol and provide a recipe for a mixer instead of the cocktail itself. A mixer is an ingredient that’s an important part of the cocktail and turns straight tequila into… Continue reading Ginger Syrup

Barware
Spring is officially here. The sun is shining, the days are longer, there are bright green leaves on the trees and flowers are starting to bloom. It’s the perfect time to pull out those bright Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts, frilly summer dresses and strappy sandals. But all that outdoor wear can’t go to waste. Now… Continue reading Barware

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

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
Lemon Chicken Wings for the Super Bowl
I love the Super Bowl. Every year come February I’m sitting on my couch in front of the TV screaming… even if I don’t care one iota about the teams playing. Why am I yelling at the TV? Because it’s football, and there’s nothing better than sitting on the couch with friends while screaming at… Continue reading Lemon Chicken Wings for the Super Bowl

Today may be my final Tonight’s Dinner post over at She Knows but don’t worry, you’ll still be able to find delectable recipes right here on Kitchy. Since peaches are still available at my farmer’s market for a few more weeks, I wanted to do a recipe that combined two of my favorite things –… Continue reading Sugar Roasted Peaches
Martinez – The Perfect Father’s Day Cocktail
I’ve been missing the past few weeks because the newest member of our family has finally arrived. Yes, Thomas Julian has finally made his presence known after nine long months of stretching and wiggling around inside me. He was well worth the wait as everything has been going swimmingly thus far. (I know it’s only… Continue reading Martinez – The Perfect Father’s Day Cocktail
OXO containers and a Giveaway
Recently I was given the opportunity to test out a set of OXO Lock Top Containers. I love OXO products. They’re well made, last forever and work amazingly well. I’m such a big fan, I already have plenty of their gadgets: measuring spoons, rubber spatulas and a peeler just to name a few. So you… Continue reading OXO containers and a Giveaway
A Culinary Visit to Mendocino
A few weeks ago as one last hurrah before the new baby makes his debut, Hubs and I decided to drop A off with the grandparents and take a trip up the California coast for a couple days. In the past when we’ve traveled north of the grandparents we’ve ended up in Sonoma, Napa or… Continue reading A Culinary Visit to Mendocino
