Getting Bird Ready I’ve been waiting to post this one for so long! And by far it’s one of those moments in the kitchen I will never forget. One because my mom was in town to spend some quality time with me. Being the oldest of five kids alone time with mom is always special, and…

what to do to not waste and enjoy your veggies- hot and sour crockpot soup
When I thought about this post it was inspired by a few things. First, I confess, I have a major issue of buying too much food. Think it’s the history of being in a family of 7 (5 kids)… I don’t know how to think to buy for less than a family of 4, so…
Holy fish! Caribbean cayenne mahi and lemon almond kale
A game play delay resulted in a dinner unexpected a few days later… Planning to cook on a Friday when last minute plan changes came up, resulted in prepping the fish and then letting it sit for a few days. Mahi was prepared with olive oil and topped with a blend of “magical” Caribbean spice…
Pistachio chicken warms the heart….dinner without a plan
I’m really behind on my blogging here, but I’ve been super busy. As I’m cooking I’m capturing photos, but not remembering a lot of the details but here’s what I can remember and it’s totally worth whatever I can remember because it was yummy! That phrase a picture is worth a thousand words is my…
Summer BBQ’s beckon some spice. Cornbread that will have you craving for another slice…
Wow it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here… so while I am collecting ideas on my next postings, this one was easy enough to do. Since my last posting I got a new job at a company I love and did some traveling to Florida, UK and Germany (for the first time). Sadly I…
Back from vacation into the kitchen, easy like sunday morning… sausage sautee
I’m back from my amazing heritage trip- of which I will share later how I ate my way through both Poland and Czech Republic in separate posts- and back in the kitchen. I’m feeling really lazy since I’ve been back so today I wanted to make something easy and that would remind me about my trip. Thinking about…
One can of pineapple transforms- pizza that sizzles and dessert that satisfies
I love pizza. There I said it. I admit it. I could eat it often. But I don’t because well we all know the reasons why- it’s not healthy or good for you to do that. And I’ve rarely like “order-in” pizza- with the exception of Paxties in SF- but that’s expensive and takes a…
Missing ketchup or mustard for your burger- avocados, olive oil, balsamic… to the rescue
I’m on the road to socal and enjoying my beautiful trip. Nothing like a roadtrip to clear your mind and also inspire you. While I take no credit for the lovely feast of burgers and salad my lovely hosts prepared, I was able to add a bit of help to the mix. We realized after the…
Stuffed bell pepper trio with ground turkey, black rice, cilantro and bourbon
Yep that’s true. Whiskey in my stuffed peppers. Now being from the midwest, stuffed peppers is something I definitely recall growing up with. And it was considered a special dish, because, well, it took some time to make that dish happen. I’ve made stuffed peppers before and like to mix it up and try new…
Realistic everyday chicken for one or many- never boring and always juicy
With the buzz of Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1 bird 3 meals, I thought I’d simplify it down a bit assuming like most of us you are using those lovely packets of individual boneless, skinless breasts you buy at Costco or TJoes. And I’ll also confess that I had one experience I will never forget, making the dreaded…
