I love a good farmers market. I've been to markets in many states and several countries including France, Switzerland, Italy and Ireland. They all have certain things in common, one being that they are a nice relaxing way to shop, enjoy the outdoors and other people,...
It's no secret I love a complete meal salad. Give me a quick, healthy, delicious complete meal salad and I am a happy girl. This Chicken, Rice and Feta Salad checks all the boxes and it's budget friendly to boot! (This post contains affiliate links. I may make a...
These Salmon Tabbouleh Bowls make a delicious, healthy, fun 30 minute meal. This recipe is loaded with color and flavor, as well as protein, healthy fats and antioxidant rich herbs. It's so fresh and light, I just love it! (This post contains affiliate links. I may...
Salads are a bit of a passion of mine. So are homemade salad dressings. Once you start making your own, you will never go back to bottled. Here are My Favorite Fall/Winter Salad Dressings!
Autumn is my favorite season... "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower" ~ Albert Camus I love fall. California doesn't have much of a change of seasons but this recipe for Autumn Chicken with Roasted Butternut Squash and Barley tricks my senses into thinking it does: chicken browned on the cooktop, finished in the oven and set atop a bed of barley, kale, roasted butternut squash, dried cranberries, and pecans with just a hint of...
It's been a while since I offered up a good old fashioned tutorial. So here we go with perhaps the easiest yet "How to Make Brown Sugar". Now you may wonder why you would ever need to make brown sugar, after all it's in every store already made. True. But every once in a while haven't you gone to the cupboard to pull out the brown sugar and find only a few granules in the bottom of the container? You are in the middle of baking and if you are...
Yes, I know peaches are almost out of season and ordinarily I would have posted this in June but some things are just out of my control, for example: when my grandchildren are born. Lucy and Henry just had their 2nd and 4th birthdays. My daughter put together a little party. She happens to be 7 months pregnant with number three and just wasn't up to a huge shindig, so she kept it small and simple but still managed to make it darling and...
Can you keep a secret? I am going to tell you something but you can't say anything to anyone, promise? Robert Redford is my neighbor! Keep it under your hat. To be honest, Mr. Redford and I have never met, but he lives very nearby our little cabin at The Sundance Mountain Resort. I am sure one day we will meet and he will ask me for my autograph and a selfie, but until then he will just have to dream about it. And you can dream about...
I have to say lemon is one of my favorite summer flavors! If you still haven't tried my recipe for The Best Ever Lemon Cake you have been missing out. I use a variation on that recipe for these gorgeous little cupcakes... ...moist and dense and just like My Best Ever Lemon Cake they have a secret ingredient that makes them that way! But this time it's not butternut squash... Notice the shredded zucchini? That is the secret ingredient and...
You may have noticed that this Vegetable Fettuccine looks insanely good.... ...and you may have noticed the colorful seasonal vegetables, al dente pasta, and fresh herbs (all finished on the cooktop by the way) ...what you may not have noticed is that there are zucchini noodles (zoodles) mixed in with the fettuccine. I make them with a spiralizer (affiliate link). Using a spiralizer is a great way to add vegetables to a meal in guise of...
