Cantaritos Cocktail

Cinco de Mayo is next week and that means it’s time to make sure you have everything you need to celebrate. Sure, you’ve got avocados, plenty of lemons and limes, ground beef, shredded cheese and tortillas. But do you have what you need to make the perfect Cinco de Mayo cocktail? I’m not talking about… Continue reading Cantaritos Cocktail

Lemon Butter Cookies

I know I’ve been all about being healthy the past few weeks but even I need the occasional cookie or sweet treat. A simple cookie won’t tip the scales if you’ve been cutting back, but it could temper those cravings that we all get now and again. Personally, I love a good chocolate chip cookie,… Continue reading Lemon Butter Cookies

Citrus Rhubarb Olive Oil Bundt Cake

I know we’re getting into stone fruit season, but you can still find rhubarb and plenty of citrus at the local farmers markets. Yesterday I actually spotted a bushel of Meyer Lemons! Meyers! They’re those sweeter lemons that are great for lemon bars, lemon tarts… pretty much anything with lemon. So, I grabbed a bunch,… Continue reading Citrus Rhubarb Olive Oil Bundt Cake

Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit Sauce

Ever since the new year started I’ve been trying to eat healthier. No, it wasn’t a New Year’s resolution, I just decided it was time. I mean, I’ve spent the past year stuck in the house eating and drinking all the bad (ie yummy) stuff like cookies, ice cream and cocktails. So, I decided it… Continue reading Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit Sauce

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

Roasted Orange Lamb Chops

I used to go to the farmers market only in the spring and summer because I thought that’s when all the good fruit showed up. You know, strawberries, peaches, plums… the good fruit. But then I realized lemons, limes and oranges showed up in the winter. I never realized there was a citrus season, but… Continue reading Roasted Orange Lamb Chops

Blood Orange Cranberry Muffins

Have you ever noticed how different months are different colors? October and November are brown and orange, December is red and green, and March is green. Well, February is no different. Red, pink and white are in every store window and school office from one end of the country to the other. Why is everything… Continue reading Blood Orange Cranberry Muffins

Orange Panko Chicken with Blood Orange Salsa

I know the blog has been a little quiet recently, but that’s because my other life, that of a mother, took over last month. While I love cooking and this blog, I also love my boys and am very involved in their school. It was that involvement that kept me away from Kitchy. But things have… Continue reading Orange Panko Chicken with Blood Orange Salsa

Lemon Butter Cake with Strawberries

I love butter. I didn’t used to. Like most kids who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, I didn’t even know what butter was. See, my mom stocked margarine in her fridge because back then we were all taught that margarine was healthier than butter. Of course now we know differently which is why… Continue reading Lemon Butter Cake with Strawberries
