Everyone knows about those disaster days where nothing goes as you planned and you completely mess up the dinner schedule. This recipe came from one of those days. First I planned on making some beignets for an afternoon snack from the dough I had frozen earlier. Once it thawed, I realized it was pizza dough, […]

This recipe is for one of those days when you want something fresh, but quick although it probably isn’t the traditional method. It has only a few ingredients, most of them you probably already have on hand, it tastes great and is done in no time. This is the perfect time to use that iron skillet (which […]
This one is for Mom, she asked if I’d tried it and said it was great. She was right! Of course, I just couldn’t follow the recipe exactly because it didn’t have enough garlic so I added a little more but otherwise followed the plan. Here’s the recipe for La Salsa Di 5 Minuti. I […]

I’m very excited! My pictures from my recent post on one of their recipes made it to the LA Times food website for the Prosciutto and Onion Frittata – you have to go all the way down to the bottom of the page in the food photos box but hey it’s the LA Times! http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-recipeindexarchive2008,0,5938840.storygallery

Recipe and photographs of shredded pork pierogi
This is my first monthly cooking challenge from the Daring Kitchen. Unfortunately, after being accepted, just after one ended and before the other began, I didn’t realize the July session was already done so . . . I did it anyway, even making my own egg noodles. The challenge was to use nut butters (which they […]
The first time I had this dish at California Pizza Kitchen I thought it was great. I eventually found one of those “copycat” recipes that I think is very close. This one came from http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/512/California_Pizza_Kitchen_Chicken_Tequila_Fettuccine44247.shtml. It has a little kick, but if you prefer really spicy you might want to add extra jalapenos. I’m […]
