Chicken with Sofrito

15 comments March 27, 2013

Oh, this poor chicken dish. I’ve had it in my queue since last June! But then something else came up…awesomeness off the grill, or a gorgeous salad, then the holidays. I [...]

Easy Corned Beef Hash

5 comments March 6, 2013

I would challenge anyone to deny the best part of a Thanksgiving turkey is the left overs you get to use in sandwiches and enchiladas the next day. Amiright? So [...]

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

29 comments March 4, 2013

Begin rant > How is it possible that I don’t have a lick of Irish in me, but growing up, we enjoyed corned beef and cabbage a few times a [...]

White Bean Dip

28 comments February 27, 2013

A recipe from the archives: every afternoon around 2pm, I get that uncontrollable urge to snack, usually in the form of cookies. So, instead I’ve been making this dip. Light, [...]

Asian Turkey Meatballs (and the Cuisinart Hand Blender winner)

7 comments February 18, 2013

I thought life was rough finding products made without peanuts, due to Haley’s allergy…until I started searching for products without wheat. Holy moly. Eating gluten-free would be a lot of [...]

Crock Pot Lentil Soup with Kielbasa (and a Cuisinart Hand Blender Giveaway)

43 comments February 11, 2013

Ever since these (which I’ve made 3x now), I’ve sort of fallen back in love with kielbasa. Not that I ever fell out of love, but…well…I guess it just fell [...]

Crock Pot Apple Kielbasa Bites

13 comments January 21, 2013

We spent the day in San Francisco yesterday; took the kids to the aquarium, Pier 39, and Fisherman’s Wharf. Ate. And ate some more. And watched all the odd people. [...]

Texas Caviar

4 comments January 14, 2013

Winter foods are so comforting. But they also tend to be heavy. They make me sleeeeepy. I’m really trying to get my portion control in check, and also eat lighter. [...]

Spicy Lemon Date Spread

5 comments November 12, 2012

Seems like most people know how to cook their Thanksgiving turkey; what brine to use, how to stuff it, etc. And they are usually pretty committed to certain sides – [...]

Honey-Soy Chicken Drumsticks

16 comments November 1, 2012

Trevor’s not in school full time yet, and even though he is infinitely better at independent play than Haley ever was, there are still a lot of hours each day [...]

Pumpkin Fluff

10 comments October 29, 2012

Have you all heard of this Pumpkin Fluff? Sounds sort of pornographic, but no. It’s just a pumpkin treat that’s light and creamy. Still sounds pornographic. I’m digging myself a [...]

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Buttery Pan Sauce

12 comments October 2, 2012

We love pork over here, and yet it always seems to get bumped for chicken or beef. Where are the loins? Where are the chops? Good questions. So in an [...]

Heirloom Tomato Beet Salad

7 comments September 18, 2012

As much as I’ve urged Fall to get here, it remains so stinkin’ hot where I am. So I am still eating things that require little use of my oven. [...]

Grilled Shrimp with Brown Buttered Rice and Mushrooms

3 comments August 28, 2012

End of August always seems about the time when a lot of people start longing for cooler temperatures and Fall recipes – kids are back in school, they’re tired of [...]

Cumin-Lime Chickpea Salad

11 comments July 26, 2012

It’s so hard to believe that once upon a crazy time I didn’t like chickpeas, because now my pantry is stocked with them. Love, love, and love. Hell, I even [...]

Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Thighs

21 comments June 28, 2012

Don’t you think anything that includes Hawaiian as part of the name, automatically takes it up 5 notches? I’ve read about people selling everything they own, relocating to Hawaii (and [...]

Lemon Cream Chicken

13 comments May 1, 2012

I’m still recovering from this, so not a whole lot of jibber-jabber from me today. (You’re crushed, right?) Let’s just get straight to business… My friend Anne pointed me in [...]

Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp

9 comments April 26, 2012

Spring is a funky season in Northern California. We’ll get a couple weeks of 60′s and straight rain, and then BAM! 95 degrees. In your face sissies! But after a [...]

Stir Fry Sirloin with Snow Peas

14 comments April 24, 2012

I’m so backlogged with recipes I want to share with you all! I went through a period a couple months ago where 8 out of 10 dishes I was trying [...]

Huevos Rancheros

9 comments April 3, 2012

It’s spring break in my neck of the woods. Or as I like to call it “how to occupy my kids for seven straight days without going batty.” I’m armed [...]

Baked Maple-Mustard Chicken

23 comments March 27, 2012

This was making the rounds on Pinterest (what isn’t these days?!)…impossible to know who to credit anymore for the idea, when everyone you follow is writing about the same thing. [...]
