I love bread. I know it’s super heavy on the carbs and it’s not the healthiest option out there, but I can’t get enough, especially when it’s piping hot, just out of the oven. But of all the different kinds of bread out there, my favorite is definitely focaccia. I make it every chance I… Continue reading Peach Berry Focaccia

You know which cocktails you’re serving and you even have chili on the stove and the grill ready to go.… Continue reading Apples on Horseback
Halloween Hummus
Do you know what you’re going to be for Halloween this year? I have no idea. I’ll probably just pull out one of my many vintage dresses and do myself up 40’s style. I know that’s not really a costume since I dress like that all the time, but it’s all I’ve got, so… But… Continue reading Halloween Hummus
Apple Onion Tart
Every time I think fruit season is over, a new one begins with even better produce than the season before. Peach and berry season is almost over, and while I’m bummed to say good-bye to all those delicious stone fruits, apple season has just begun! I love apples almost as much as I love peaches… Continue reading Apple Onion Tart
Black-Eyed Pea Hummus
New Year’s Day is Friday and there’s a tradition that if you eat Black-Eyed Peas on New Year’s Day, you’ll have good luck in the coming new year. I don’t know about you, but with the way 2020 has gone, I could use a little luck, couldn’t you? So, with that in mind, I hit… Continue reading Black-Eyed Pea Hummus
Herbed Stuffed Squash Blossoms
We’re nearing the end of summer. I mean, I know we’ve officially hit fall, but here in L.A. County, it still feels like we’re in the middle of summer. As a matter of fact, we’re about to be hit with another heat wave. I hate the heat. I can’t stand taking a shower and needing… Continue reading Herbed Stuffed Squash Blossoms
Marinated Gouda
The big game is just two weeks away. Now that we know Kansas City is playing San Francisco, the next thing is to decide who to root for. After that, it’s all about the party and what you’re going to serve. Of course there will be burgers and hot dogs, but more importantly are the… Continue reading Marinated Gouda
7-Layer Greek Dip
Well, it’s official. The Super Bowl is just under two weeks away. We’ve got our teams – The L.A. Rams and the New England Patriots (yay!), and it’s set to be one hell of a game. So, now that we know who’s playing and who’s leading the half-time show all that’s left is what to… Continue reading 7-Layer Greek Dip
Bacon-wrapped Tater Tots
Last week I talked about being healthy because it’s a new year. I even gave you a healthier recipe to start the year off right. But that’s all over now because the Super Bowl is right around the corner. I know. Sucks, right? I mean how are you supposed to create a whole new you… Continue reading Bacon-wrapped Tater Tots
Cherry Bruschetta
I’ve talked before about how I love cherries and especially Tartarians. They’re plump, juicy dark cherries that are out of this world delicious. I’ll eat them straight out of the basket, on top of cottage cheese or mixed into a cake. Although I still need to try them on a savory dish like chicken or… Continue reading Cherry Bruschetta
Green Garlic Crostini
I’m a huge garlic fan. I use it in just about everything from spaghetti sauce to stews. I even roast it and spread it on toast. But last year I discovered something called green garlic. It’s a younger version of garlic which means it’s not quite as potent. But just because it’s not strong, doesn’t… Continue reading Green Garlic Crostini
