In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I’m a huge fan of the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and early-60’s. I have several pieces of furniture from that era, at least 1/4 of my wardrobe dates from that time period and about half my ipod is made up of swing music. It’s why I dubbed Kitchy Cooking,… Continue reading Pink Squirrel Cocktail
Strawberry Meringue Cake and an Anniversary
(sung to the tune of Happy Birthday.) Happy anniversary to me, happy anniversary to me, happy anniversary to me…Happy anniversary to meeeeee. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I started Kitchy Cooking. Actually it’s been a little over a year. My first post was written for Passover and since Passover was at… Continue reading Strawberry Meringue Cake and an Anniversary
Cap’n Crunch French Toast
My husband and I moved to the South Bay about 10 years ago. We moved here because we both wanted to get out of Los Angeles and we’d been coming down here quite a bit on the weekends. It’s a wonderful area, right on the beach. And even though you’re only 30 minutes south of… Continue reading Cap’n Crunch French Toast
Doughnut-Apple Cobbler
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, desserts are something of which I’m a huge fan. It doesn’t matter if it’s chocolate or fruit, cupcakes or ice cream. If it’s sweet, I’m in. And if it’s easy, I’m at my mixer in a matter of seconds. So, a few weeks ago I made my first impulse buy… Continue reading Doughnut-Apple Cobbler
Orange Balsamic Shortbread Cookies
I recently visited the House of Balsamic for a balsamic tasting. As I mentioned in my previous post, I tasted some amazing vinegars, but my favorite by far was the Balsamo di Arancia – the orange balsamic vinegar. Since I purchased it, I’ve used it over pancakes and waffles and added it to Patron for a… Continue reading Orange Balsamic Shortbread Cookies
A Lesson in Balsamic and a Giveaway
This giveaway is now closed. What do you think of when you hear the word “balsamic”? Vinegar right? I always did. That is until I was invited to the House of Balsamic for a vinegar tasting. Little did I know I was in for a lot more than just vinegar. Did you know that balsamic… Continue reading A Lesson in Balsamic and a Giveaway
Strawberry Balsamic Syrup
Thanks to Rachel over at La Fuji Mama, I’ve discovered that it’s pancake week. And tomorrow is officially Pancake Day. Evidently it’s a holiday celebrated the week before Lent. Since meat, fish, dairy products and eggs are forbidden during Lent, this is the last week you’re allowed to partake in cheese, milk and other dairy… Continue reading Strawberry Balsamic Syrup
Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash
Not sure if you remember, but a few months ago I attended a cooking class at The Depot in Torrance. Well, I had such a good time at that cooking class, I couldn’t wait to do another one. And since I absolutely love breakfast, I decided the next class I had to attend was the Breakfast in Bed class. … Continue reading Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash
Kasha Varnishkes
Last time my family and I visited my parents up in northern California, my mother made Kasha Varnishkes as a side to go with dinner. I don’t remember what the main course was, but I remember the Kasha; mainly because my mother made it every so often when I was growing up and it brought… Continue reading Kasha Varnishkes
Marinated Mushrooms
I love the Superbowl. The parties, the game, the commercials… did I mention the parties? My hubs and I have been throwing a party every year for at least the past 10. Each year we invite a big group of people over to watch the game and laugh at the commercials. It’s always a blast. But… Continue reading Marinated Mushrooms
Experiencing the newest food truck: Cheer Burger
Last week I got a wonderful invitation from my friend and fellow food blogger, Rachel over at La Fuji Mama. She had been invited to do a tasting of a new food truck and wanted to include a few Los Angeles-based food bloggers. So I loaded up the hubs and baby and together we… Continue reading Experiencing the newest food truck: Cheer Burger
