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
Grilled Chicken Piccata
Now that summer has officially hit, I’m outside a lot more. See, we’re currently in a rental house because our actual house is undergoing a remodel. Being in a rental means I’m in a smaller kitchen with one oven that doesn’t have a hood or fan and no air conditioning and no insulation. It’s like… Continue reading Grilled Chicken Piccata
Shrimp Saganaki
If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I do all sorts of recipes from all over. Some I’ve created on my own, while others come from magazines, cookbooks and blogs. Usually it’s a recipe I’ve come across on Instagram or found in a cookbook from a book signing. I pick the recipes based… Continue reading Shrimp Saganaki
Sausage and Mozzarella Pasta Bake
Saying times are tough seems like the biggest under statement in the world right now. I mean, I was literally curled up in a ball on my bed sobbing last week. The world is on lock down, I can’t find a single chicken breast anywhere, forget about a roll of paper towel or toilet paper,… Continue reading Sausage and Mozzarella Pasta Bake
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
Slow-Cooker Lamb, Apricot and Olive Tagine
It’s the start of a new year, and that means it’s time to throw out all that candy and chocolate. All those cakes and cookies, all the fattening food and drink that make up most of November and December. In other words, it’s time to get healthy. So, throw out all that bread and grab… Continue reading Slow-Cooker Lamb, Apricot and Olive Tagine
Pumpkin Risotto
Everywhere I look these days there are pumpkins. Pumpkin patches on every corner and piles of pumpkins in all the super markets. Halloween is a week away and people are buying pumpkins to decorate their tables and porches. But pumpkins are for more than mere decoration. Pumpkins are also for eating and now is the… Continue reading Pumpkin Risotto
White Wine Braised Chicken Thighs
I was supposed to be in Italy this week. Hubs and I had a whole wonderful food-oriented trip planned. We were going enjoy spritzes on the canals in Venice, learn to butcher meat from Dario Cecchini in Tuscany and eat enough gelato to make us sick. That’s what was supposed to happen. Then my youngest… Continue reading White Wine Braised Chicken Thighs
Japanese Lamb Chops
Monday is Rosh Hashana. The beginning of the Jewish new year. The boys have school off which is good because we’ll be spending the day in temple. I know that sounds awful. I mean, I always hated it when I was a kid. But now that I’m an adult I really enjoy spending the day… Continue reading Japanese Lamb Chops
Hatch Chile Sloppy Toms
If you’re wondering what a Sloppy Tom is, you’re not the only one. Before I found this recipe in a collection aboard the USS Iowa, I had never heard of a Sloppy Tom. Turns out it’s just a Sloppy Joe made with ground turkey instead of ground beef. It’s just as good as the classic,… Continue reading Hatch Chile Sloppy Toms
