When summer hits, I’m all about the stone fruits. Cherries, peaches, plums… if it’s got a pit, I’m all over it. But there’s another fruit that shows up when the temperature turns warm that I also can’t get enough of: the tomato. I love heirloom tomatoes. While a regular beefsteak or Roma tomato is great… Continue reading Caprese Chicken

Tortilla Pie
Now that we’ve switched into spring, there are a few holidays coming down the pipe. First was Passover and Easter, then there’s Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. After that, we’re into June, the end of school and then it’s straight onto summer. With so many holidays and events on the calendar, it’s… Continue reading Tortilla Pie
Roasted Chicken with Grapes
I make dinner almost every night for my family. Those dinners range the gamut from pasta, to seafood to steak and chicken. It really depends on what we’re in the mood for. While I love chicken and steak, my boys are partial to pastas and pizza. But since we can’t eat chicken nuggets and pizza… Continue reading Roasted Chicken with Grapes
Cinnamon Chicken with Pumpkin-Sage Grits
We’re right in the middle of pumpkin season. From September through Thanksgiving the internet is full of recipes for pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spiced lattes and even pumpkin sides. It’s not my favorite time of year because while I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, pumpkin isn’t my favorite flavor. I know, blasphemy right?! I just… Continue reading Cinnamon Chicken with Pumpkin-Sage Grits
Bruschetta Chicken
You all know how much I love the spring and summer produce. I can’t wait for those amazing stone fruits to make an appearance. Then from April through at least September I cook with them constantly. While I can’t get enough of all those peaches and plums, they’re not the only produce I look forward… Continue reading Bruschetta Chicken
Chicken Thighs with Cherry Relish
It’s here! The season I wait for all year: cherry season! I know I talk about all sorts of fruit I wait for, but this one’s legit! Yes, I love peaches, apricots and pretty much all stone fruits. But cherries are my absolute favorite. This is a new thing though because it’s all due to… Continue reading Chicken Thighs with Cherry Relish
Chicken with Garlic and Lemon
I’m a huge garlic fan. Seriously. It’s my favorite. Whenever a recipe calls for one or two cloves I always double it. I love everything about it, from its shape to the smell to the flavor. I’ll take it roasted on a piece of bread or minced in a thick tomato sauce. So, when Susan… Continue reading Chicken with Garlic and Lemon
Orange-Curry Chicken with Dried Cranberries
Believe it or not, it’s still citrus season here in sunny southern California. Okay, I know you can get oranges in the grocery store year round. But winter is when there are the most varieties and those little oranges spheres are at their sweetest. While I love a good stone fruit, I can never get… Continue reading Orange-Curry Chicken with Dried Cranberries
Dill and Feta Orzo Salad with Lemon Chicken
One of the perks of working in the food and cocktail industry is that I get to attend events at produce companies, bars, distilleries… you name it. If it has something to do with food, odds are I’ve been there. But these days I haven’t been much of anywhere. These days, I get a delivery… Continue reading Dill and Feta Orzo Salad with Lemon Chicken
Apples & Honey Mustard Chicken
While it may not feel like it here on the West Coast, believe it or not, we’ve hit fall season. Apples and citrus are starting to line produce shelves and pumpkin spice seems to be everywhere. Once those flavors start showing up, that can only mean one thing: Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur aren’t far… Continue reading Apples & Honey Mustard Chicken
Peach Chicken in a White Wine Sauce with Mozzarella
Today is Wednesday, which means yesterday was Tuesday. And these days Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. I look forward to Tuesday every week because that’s the day I drop the kids at camp (or school whenever the hell that happens) and go to the farmer’s market. Farmer’s Market I love going to… Continue reading Peach Chicken in a White Wine Sauce with Mozzarella
