Recently I’ve been doing recipes with corn and zucchini because those are the vegetables that are in season right now. Two delicious choices that are even better in the late summer and fall. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of both these veggies and as long as they’re in season, I use them.… Continue reading Mediterranean Zucchini and Chickpea Salad

Orange Strawberry Muffins
Now that spring is here, we’re starting to see all those delicious spring and summer fruits I love so much. Fruits like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Whenever I see baskets and baskets of fresh strawberries I know that spring is here and all those delicious stone fruits like cherries and peaches aren’t too far… Continue reading Orange Strawberry Muffins
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
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
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
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
Cheesy Stuffed Shells
I love cheese! I don’t care if it’s hard, soft, or slices. It could be brie, gouda or feta, I love them all. I’ll have it plain right out of the fridge, melted on a sandwich or crumbled over salads. But one of my favorite ways to enjoy cheese is in a pasta dish. It… Continue reading Cheesy Stuffed Shells
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
Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salad
If there’s one thing I love this time of year, it’s grilled corn, especially white corn. I eat it straight off the cob but I also frequently shear off the kernels and turn them into a salad. It’s super easy and a nice way to still have the same great vegetable without getting butter and… Continue reading Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salad
Cherry Peach Croissant Bread Pudding
I’ve never been a fan of bread pudding. It’s not a real sweet dessert and it’s usually super heavy. In the past when I’ve tried it, I get one, maybe two bites in and then I’m full. I keep trying it, though because I know it’s popular, and I guess I keep hoping that maybe… Continue reading Cherry Peach Croissant Bread Pudding
Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins
If there are two fruits I look forward to all year it’s rhubarb and raspberries. While it’s true that you can get raspberries year-round, they’re at their freshest during the summer months. That’s when they’re sweetest and perfect for fruit salads, bars or cakes. The timing is perfect because it’s also when rhubarb is in… Continue reading Raspberry Rhubarb Muffins
