I will be honest, I forgot where I saw this at, but it was either a magazine that I read while getting my nails done or somewhere on the web. Wish I could remember to give credit, but I’m sure they were not the first one to think about it. Mushroom w/Pesto and Tomatoes Portobello mushroom cap Pesto (I made…

Ornament Party
Every year, or for at least the last 3 years, I have hosted an Ornament Party. You may be asking what exactly might that be. It’s basically just another reason to have another holiday party and the concept is based around exchanging ornaments. I really actually like this idea because not just a holiday party. It’s a time for us…
Easy Shrimp Pad Thai
This is seriously so easy and so good! I love cooking Asian style seafood dishes and this is definitely a keeper. I adapted the Food 52 Shrimp Pad Thai recipe. Do NOT skip any ingredients or substitute. As far as tamarind goes, I bought tamarind paste which turns out is the same thing as concentrate (at least my brand was). …
Time to Play Catch Up
Wow! Has it been over a week since my last post? Work, holiday, running….been a bit busy. I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! I headed up to my sisters (every year!). I was busy helping them in their tasting room (they own their own winery in Paso Robles) on Thanksgiving and then on “Black Friday”. We kept…
Like a Kid Again
This is a no frills, not that fancy, non-foodie dinner. Peaked your interest yet? When I was a kid, there was usually one thing I would order when we went out. Chicken Fingers. What kid didn’t love chicken fingers? Ah, hello, McDonald’s has made a fortune on their chicken nuggets for kids and I’m sure Tyson is doing a bag…
Lentil Soup
I would love to say this is my grandma’s recipe, but it’s really just what I had on hand. I have fond memories of eating my grandmother’s lentil soup. So tasty. Mine, well, it is tasty, but nothing close to the same as Abuela’s. It’s more of a “kitchen sink” kind of soup. All the random items I had left…
Dominica’s Totally Awesome, It’s Like Crack, Granola
I was out with my good friend this weekend shopping for her wedding dress. So much fun! It was your typical “Say Yes to The Dress” experience. She got to try on a ton of dresses (we went to four different shops), we (as in her entourage), got to watch and give opinions and I got to get ideas for…
Bon Appetit!
If I haven’t mentioned it before, here it is, I love Bon Appetit Magazine. They have such great recipes and articles. Their cover pictures always make my mouth drool! Of course I sure that is the goal and to get you to buy their magazines. I lucked out and got the subscription on Amazon while they were running a special,…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope it finds you with Love in your hearts and your arms 🙂 Baking is truly one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday afternoon – besides Sunday Funday (I’m a little too old for that now), anyway, since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, of course I am baking goodies for my coworkers and…
Hearty Roasted Pumpkin & Cauliflower Stoup
You will slap yourself and say “damn I’m good!” – Okay, maybe not, but I did when I made this. It’s thick, it’s spicy, it’s hearty. You want a bowl full of comfort, make this. It’s easy and it’s healthy for you too. Roasted Pumpkin and Cauliflower Stoup: 1 3lb sugar pumpkin3/4 head of cauliflower – florets cut up…
