Yellow Squash, Two ways
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010These recipes for squash appetizers are so easy to make and look beautiful when served. Exact ingredients are not necessary. It’s really just a matter of taste but be sure to use the best possible ingredients. I can’t reiterate enough about using the best quality ingredients you can find. Everything about these ingredients together is so classic and delicious, radiating summer in every bite.
Arugula Pesto
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Life gives you bitter arugula? Make pesto! It was the perfect project to give my new (and oh, so pretty) Vitamix a whirl. The end result had me licking my fingers, as I scraped every last drop out of the blender.
Big Time Burger
Friday, June 11th, 2010Today, we are talking “butcher shop.” Normally I gravitate toward veggies in this blog but the meat is what makes this burger special, so spectacular, in fact, that you might consider it for your dad, too. It’s the burger builder from Bryan’s Fine Food (http://www.bryansfinefoods.com/burgerBuilder.php).
Doughnuts
Friday, June 4th, 2010Did you know it is National Doughnut Day? It wasn’t really on my radar, but my friend Gina reminded me of this important day on the culinary calendar and encouraged me to share my recipe. She remembered I made these deep-fried delights for a bake-off awhile back. Actually, it’s not my recipe, but rather one that I made from the Big Sur Bakery Cookbook.
Rajas: Roasted Poblanos with Onion and Cheese
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010jas can be made as a side dish for a summer meal, awesome vegetarian tacos or used as the stuffing for very yummy tamales or gorditas. I made Rajas for Cinco de Mayo as one of my taco options and my guests were completely floored. They are simple to make with tasty results. They are great for entertaining because you can make them in advance. I had a ton of requests for this recipe, so here you go. Fresh ingredients, simply prepared, with incredible results, this is an eat-drink-garden kind of a recipe.
