Products for this post were provided by Melissa’s Produce. This is my third Melissa’s Produce Challenge with the San Diego Food Bloggers! It should be my fourth but there was that whole giving birth thing that kind of got in the way of creating and posting a recipe from a mystery box of ingredients “Chopped”- […]
I like meat. I revel in Korean BBQ with piles of it marinated for me to cook tableside with crisp edges and juicy richness. I love carne asada & roast chicken and I can make a mean pork tenderloin. I also like vegetables. Lots of them and I can totally appreciate a diet filled with […]
In case you didn’t know, food bloggers network… a lot. And we network with each other most of all. In San Diego, we have a dedicated group of bloggers who meet up regularly, share ideas, inspirations and opportunities with each other. This group is a wonderful resource and many of these people have become dear […]
Today is National Pistachio Day. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like these sweet little morsels. I even have enough patience to crack them open by hand just to get those little darlings to my lips.

I woke up this morning feeling so cold, I thought for sure all the windows in the house had been left open. My cat, Roxy had wedged herself into my hip, pinning down the covers on one side and leaving the other too short to cover me up. It left me with that strange sensation […]
I am so excited to bring you today’s recipe. I love a good challenge so when OXO asked me to participate in one to come up with a vegetarian recipe with 2 servings, 10-12 seasonal ingredients, utilizing at least 3 [incredibly awesome] OXO provided kitchen tools and that can be completed start to finish in […]
