So, last week I made a delicious noodle dish for the Lunar New Year thanks to some amazing produce from the folks at Melissa’s Produce. Well, I’m back this week with another awesome Asian-inspired dish. This week we use beef and gai lan! Now, I love a good shrimp recipe. But my first love when… Continue reading Beef Wrapped Gai Lan

Beef Pad Thai

I’ve always been a big fan of Thai food. Chinese, Japanese, Korean… if there’s a wok, noodles, rice and some sort of protein, I’m all in. As a matter of fact, every time I make rice as a side dish, I always make extra so I can make fried rice later in the week. But… Continue reading Beef Pad Thai

Mint Blackberry Lemonade

I know I usually do cocktails on Fridays, but this week I wanted to bring you a refreshing beverage that’s alcohol-free! I know, you’re probably wondering what’s wrong with me? Nothing! It’s summer and while I’ll never pass up a fizzy cocktail, a non-alcoholic drink can be just as refreshing and won’t leave you feeling… Continue reading Mint Blackberry Lemonade

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

Apple Pie Pork Chops

Back in the “old world” before Covid, I used to get together with several other bloggers at Melissa’s Produce. We’d talk and enjoy an amazing lunch and then have a Q&A with a specific chef about their newest cookbook. Photos would be taken, there would be cooking demos and so. Much. Food. We were actually… Continue reading Apple Pie Pork Chops

Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake

I love citrus season! It’s that great time of year, smack dab in the dead of winter, when all the bright, sweet citrus bombard farmers markets everywhere. It’s when you are no longer limited to Eureka lemons or Navel oranges. Instead you can grab some Meyer lemons or Cara Cara oranges. There are also Satsuma… Continue reading Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake
