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
Roasted Apple Pound Cake
A couple months ago my mother came to visit. I love it when she comes because not only does she help me take care of the kids, she almost always introduces me to some new recipe. She’s been doing this ever since I was a kid and I just can’t get enough. Mom’s actually the… Continue reading Roasted Apple Pound Cake
Blood Orange Beef Stir Fry
Fruit is one of my favorite snacks. There’s absolutely nothing better than picking up an apricot, peach or plum and taking a huge bite out of that soft sweet flesh. Unfortunately you can’t get fresh plums or peaches this time of year. If you want fruit, your options are somewhat limited to apples, pears and… Continue reading Blood Orange Beef Stir Fry
Grilled Kale and Pancetta Risotto
I discovered kale early last year during my quest for a healthier diet. C’mon, admit it. When the new year comes around we all try as hard as we can to be healthier. And if you’re anything like me that goal lasts… oh… about a month… maybe. Although the quest never seems to last too… Continue reading Grilled Kale and Pancetta Risotto
Sausage, Pear & Gruyere Pie
Spring and summer are considered big fruit seasons, but believe it or not there are still a few fruits available during these cold winter months. What is that fruit you ask? Why apples, pears and all different types of citrus, of course. While there are plenty of apple recipes out there (don’t worry, I will… Continue reading Sausage, Pear & Gruyere Pie
Black Velvet Cocktail
When I think of black velvet two things come to mind, the soft luscious fabric that’s often used to make cocktail dresses and the 90’s song by Alannah Myles. The one thing that never came to mind, until recently that is, was this classic English cocktail. But when I discovered that not only is it… Continue reading Black Velvet Cocktail
Wassail
It’s Christmas! And if you’re anything like my family, you spend the morning in your pajamas unwrapping gifts and drinking coffee and cocoa. Then while I whip up something for breakfast the kids run around screaming while they play with every single toy they received. In other words our house is total mayhem. But around… Continue reading Wassail
Sugar Cookies for the Holidays
The holidays are here! I can’t believe Christmas is Tuesday. Can you? I feel like it was just Halloween. But since it is the holidays that means holiday cards. Holiday cards? On a food blog? Yes! Because every year since A was born we’ve been sending out these cards. And every year has had a… Continue reading Sugar Cookies for the Holidays
Sugar Roasted Peaches
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
Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
Sorry for being MIA the past few weeks but I’m still getting used to the schedule (or lack there of) with a toddler and an infant. But since I know rhubarb will be disappearing from the farmer’s markets soon, if it hasn’t already, I wanted to tell you all about these yummy muffins I made.… Continue reading Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
Clase Azul, A Tequila Sunrise and Pimiento Azul
It’s summer time. Here in sunny southern California where there really aren’t any seasons, the only thing summer months means is that delicious, brightly colored fruits are finally available at the farmer’s market and our days are longer. But that’s no reason to get upset, because those longer days mean more beach time and more… Continue reading Clase Azul, A Tequila Sunrise and Pimiento Azul
