Pork loin chops always bring to mind, apples. Could be the midwest in me, but I need to have some sweet with my chops. And in this case, a little wine to the mix didn’t hurt!

kickin’ sauces and dishes that sizzle with them
Two kinds of kickin’ sauces combined to make the ultimate sauce. Started out making chimichurri sauce for some flank steaks and then the next day made what was supposed to be ketchup but it turned out to be much more than that as a base sauce you can play around with. Combined the chimi and the…
mexican SB chicken chili
Chili I got you down. I’ve never made so much chili in my life this year, with all this rain and excuses to curl up on the couch and warm by the fire… This time it was for our SuperBowl 50 party. Shredded chicken (from my broth), fresh corn on the cob, onions, cilantro, black…
lalalasagna!
For this, I did look at lot of recipes and then forged my own ideas. Nothing in particular caught my eye. My inspiration was cottage cheese that was around, fresh bone broth I just made (providing shredding chicken) and I just wanted to make lasagna with chicken (again all this rain!). The last time I…
not your mamas chili 2
I’ve got chili down and it is good… last time I made it (not your mamas chili) I used Not Your Father’s Rootbeer. So this time I opted to use no alcohol (shocking) and see if I could get good flavor anyway. I used ground turkey AND some of the leftover chicken from my broth…
classic twist cabbage and noodles with chicken apple chardonnay sausage
A total favorite of mine growing up was cabbage and noodles. What’s not to love buttery cabbage, onions and egg noodles. Turning up the classic a notch I wanted to spice things up, add some meat and play with the flavor. The result was the perfect blend for a comfort filling dish. Products from TJoes…
easy bake quiche
After a day at the wineries, we were all due for a cozy day in. Starting the day off with quiche fills you up for a long haul of resting on the couch. Inspiration here was Tillamook white cheddar cheese from the wine country excursion and ciabatta bread left over that we were supposed to…
with all the trimmings christmas dinner – lovely leg of lamb, scalloped potatoes, acorn squash, green mint jelly and cranberry sauce
This holiday was super special for a couple of reasons. It was Michael and I’s first Christmas together in our home, the first time we would cook a holiday meal in the new kitchen (we are in love with it!), my mom was visiting in from Ohio to be with us, and Michael’s mom was…
not your mamas chili
My mom, who lives in Ohio, came to town to visit to spend the holidays with us. For her arrival I wanted to make something special and get the house smelling yummy! Memories of her chili, the cold weather and rain (which is NoCal version of an Ohio snow day), inspired me to make my…
orange liqueur olive oil pound cake with pomegranate glaze
The main inspiration on this one was a special gift for a dear friend’s birthday- the ideas started flowing remembering a rum cake the previous week at another good friend’s party (could I do it without a bundt cake pan and with another liqueur and get similar results?), having access to a very old bottle…
