I wanted to get one more Thanksgiving recipe up before turkey day tomorrow. And since you probably want something easy, that won’t take too long to make, I’m going with this amazing potato dish from Tara Bench. I discovered Bench and this dish, thanks to Melissa’s Produce. Melissa’s hosted a virtual event with Bench where… Continue reading Cheese and Herb Potato Gratin

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
Apple, Squash and Brussels Sprout Salad
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a week away? I can’t either. I mean, I’ve barely figured out how many people I’m having, let alone what I’m making. So, I decided to sit down earlier this week and figure out my menu. I have the turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberries. My aunt’s making the… Continue reading Apple, Squash and Brussels Sprout Salad
Chocolate Quinoa Cake
I love chocolate. I’ll eat it in bar form, as a brownie, ice cream or cake. I’d eat it all day if I could. While I usually make desserts with apples and fall fruits during the autumn months, chocolate always gets top priority. So, when I discovered this luscious gluten-free chocolate cake from Paula Shoyer,… Continue reading Chocolate Quinoa Cake
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
Grilled Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza
The weather is so weird! Last weekend it was in the 60’s in the South Bay and the past couple days it’s been in the low to mid-90’s. I guess with no warning we’re officially into summer. And if there’s one thing I love about summer it means more cooking outside. And by cooking, I… Continue reading Grilled Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza
Cucumber Salad
It’s June but here in Southern California, you’d never know it. Here in Redondo we’re in the midst of serious June gloom. We may see the sun, but it’s only for an hour or two. Then the fog comes rolling back in and with it, a serious chill. But just because it feels like winter,… Continue reading Cucumber Salad
Broccoli and Celery Pesto Pasta
As a mother of two very busy boys, I’m always on the lookout for easy dinner recipes. If those recipes can be on the table in 30 or 40 minutes, even better. One of my standard go-to’s is pasta. If there’s one thing I can always count on my picky eaters eating, it’s a pasta… Continue reading Broccoli and Celery Pesto Pasta
Rhubarb Cake with Creme Anglaise
I’m a huge fan of desserts! It doesn’t matter if they’re chocolate, vanilla or fruit. I don’t care if they’re cookies, bars or cakes. If there’s a sweet thing on a table I’ll absolutely indulge. While I’ll never turn down chocolate, during the spring and summer I tend to lean more toward fruit. I don’t… Continue reading Rhubarb Cake with Creme Anglaise
Roasted Beet Salad with Oranges
Even though we’re well into March, it’s still citrus season. There are still plenty of Meyer lemons, Cara Cara Oranges and Golden Nuggets out there. That means there’s still plenty of time to make orange juice, lime curd or lemon meringue pie. While I love a good citrus dessert, I also love using these beautiful… Continue reading Roasted Beet Salad with Oranges
