That’s right, peaches and ravioli. Weird combo, right? Not something you’d ever think of putting together on the same dish, right? Well, you’re not alone. When I saw this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens that’s exactly the first thought that went through my mind. Could this actually be good? I mean, of course I’d… Continue reading Ravioli with Peaches
The Commodore No. 2
Did you know that September is Bourbon Heritage Month? That means you’re going to be seeing a lot of bourbon recipes and cocktails over the next few weeks from a variety of sources. As a big bourbon fan myself, I was thrilled to make this discovery because now I have a reason to post numerous… Continue reading The Commodore No. 2
Dark N Stormy
I know we’re getting toward the end of summer, but I thought I could sneak in at least one last fun summer cocktail before fall and school are back in full swing. While I love the flavors of this drink, what really excites me about it is how unbelievably easy it is to make. This… Continue reading Dark N Stormy
Hatch Chile Guacamole
We’re right in the middle of Hatch Chile season. So, if you’re a chile fan, you’re going to want to strike while the iron (or chile) is hot. Unlike other popular chiles, these beautiful green chiles are only available for about 6 weeks, from August to September. That short time period makes these chiles extra… Continue reading Hatch Chile Guacamole
Bobby Burns
I was searching for a cocktail to bring you this week. I really wanted to mix up a bourbon beverage but since next month is Bourbon Heritage month, I thought I’d wait for that. (That’s right, get ready. In just a couple weeks there’s going to be a lot of bourbon on this blog.) Anyway,… Continue reading Bobby Burns
Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad
I’ve been talking a lot about grilling the past few weeks because it’s summer, it’s hot and God knows I don’t want to be stuck cooking inside. So, I’ve been grilling. While a lot of it has been proteins like chicken and steaks, I’ve also been grilling vegetables and fruits. The open flames and wood… Continue reading Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad
Lamb and Sweet Onion Pitas
If there’s one kind of recipe I love, it’s the kind that takes no time to put together. The fact that my boys lap it up every time I make it for dinner is also a huge plus; and it can be made year round. In my book that’s the hat trick of dinner recipes.… Continue reading Lamb and Sweet Onion Pitas
Gin Fizz
Last week I did a cocktail that had lemon and orange juice in it because the citrus juices are wonderful mixers for the summer time. So, I thought why not continue the trend this week; especially since it’s still summer, it’s still hot, and these citrus cocktails are wonderful refreshers. So, today I’m doing a… Continue reading Gin Fizz
Chile-Lime Pork
I love summer time – the warm air, the sun not setting until 7:30 or 8, our lovely backyard. All these things make it the ideal kitchen, especially if you love to grill, which I do. But since I’m me, I don’t just want to cook hamburgers and hot dogs all summer. I also like… Continue reading Chile-Lime Pork
Maiden’s Prayer
Summer months call for cool, refreshing cocktails. And to me, cool and refreshing usually means something with fruit juice as its main mixer. My favorite mixer is without a doubt, citrus juice. I don’t care if it’s orange, lemon or lime, as long as it’s citrus, I’m happy. Since these are some of my favorite… Continue reading Maiden’s Prayer
Tarragon Steak and a trip to Market
You’ve heard me talk about the Food Bloggers of Los Angeles. We’re a group of food bloggers who get together once a month to discuss our blogs, food and everything in between. That in between could be as simple as discussing the future of social media or as exciting as tours of local farms, restaurants… Continue reading Tarragon Steak and a trip to Market
