Easter and Passover are a little less than two weeks away and if you’re anything like me, you’re already figuring out your guest list and menu. While Passover’s almost always dinner, Easter can be brunch or dinner. It really depends on when you’re heading to services. Do you like to go early in the morning… Continue reading Toad in the Hole

Sausage Pasta Stew
Happy New Year! New years mean new plans, new resolutions and plenty of new recipes. This is the time of year I start with a clean slate and think about what I want to do and eat over the next few months. A lot of it depends on the seasons and what fresh produce is… Continue reading Sausage Pasta Stew
Grilled Sausage Salad
I don’t know about you, but when it’s hot, I’m never very hungry. I’ll nibble here and there, but I never like big, heavy meals because there’s just too much food that usually ends up making me feel really blech. So, when it’s hot, I tend to eat light and that means salad. While I… Continue reading Grilled Sausage Salad
Barbecue Sausage and Cheese Platter
Once a year the families on my block host a progressive dinner party, which is when you have at least 3 courses and each course is served at a different person’s house. It’s a lot of fun because we all travel as a group up and down the block and get to hang out with… Continue reading Barbecue Sausage and Cheese Platter
Baked Risotto with Sausage
Now that the holidays are over, we’re all focused on eating healthier, less fattening foods. It’s actually the number one new year’s resolution. Well, the number one new year’s resolution is to lose weight, but that usually involves eating healthier so it all kind of goes together. Unfortunately that means no cakes or cookies or… Continue reading Baked Risotto with Sausage
Chocolate & Eggnog Breakfast Bread Pudding
As you all know one of my favorite holiday cocktails is eggnog. We always have it at Thanksgiving when my mom makes it to start off the holidays, then I make a batch for our annual holiday party and then one last batch for Christmas dinner. It’s always a big hit, but in all these… Continue reading Chocolate & Eggnog Breakfast Bread Pudding
Autumn Sausage and Apple Pie
A few months ago when fresh apples were just starting to show up at the farmer’s market, I decided to make a pie. But this wasn’t your standard apple pie. I wasn’t testing out desserts for Thanksgiving. Instead, I wanted to make a savory pie for dinner. Something that used the autumn fruit (hence the… Continue reading Autumn Sausage and Apple Pie
Scotch Eggs
Easter’s Sunday and that means there will be lots of eggs being hunted and probably twice as many being eaten, especially for brunch. So I thought I’d give you an alternative to the egg casseroles and omelettes you see this time of year. The Scotch Egg. I’d never heard of a Scotch Egg before but… Continue reading Scotch Eggs
Sausage, Pear & Gruyere Pie
Spring and summer are considered big fruit seasons, but believe it or not there are still a few fruits available during these cold winter months. What is that fruit you ask? Why apples, pears and all different types of citrus, of course. While there are plenty of apple recipes out there (don’t worry, I will… Continue reading Sausage, Pear & Gruyere Pie
Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash
Not sure if you remember, but a few months ago I attended a cooking class at The Depot in Torrance. Well, I had such a good time at that cooking class, I couldn’t wait to do another one. And since I absolutely love breakfast, I decided the next class I had to attend was the Breakfast in Bed class. … Continue reading Breakfast Potato Sausage Hash
Drunken Sailors
It’s October and that means two things in my house – football and Oktoberfest. I live in the South Bay of Los Angeles County and every year from the end of September through the end of October Alpine Village holds their version of Oktoberfest which includes mediocre beer and lukewarm brats. As you can tell,… Continue reading Drunken Sailors
