Taco night is a favorite around here. But once the pre-holiday diet madness started, I figured no más tacos para mí.

Taco Salad
Double Roasted Potatoes
Yesterday found me knee-deep in holiday planning, making a list, checking it twice, that sort of thing. So in an effort to not toss a freezer’s worth of food before our holiday vacay, I defrosted a two-pound flank steak from Costco and looked around for an accompaniment. Hiding behind the boxed mac & cheese I […]
Vegetable Frittata
Mark Bittman, who I credit with getting me to cook outside the pasta box, featured this recipe a few years back in his Minimalist column in the New York Times. Until the moment I read this, I’d always thought of eggs as breakfast food. Eggs for dinner or even lunch seemed to me to be […]
Chicken, Apple & Brie Sandwich
In honor of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, the guy who made eating meat on bread cool, today is National Sandwich Day, which has a much better ring to it than national day after election day, now would you please take down your campaign posters? Am I right? Something of a first for me, I’ve […]
Happy Halloween!
I’ve got homemade chicken pot pies baking in the oven and little Gonzo Girl chomping at the bit for trick or treats. Last night we carved pumpkins … you can tell I was in a Martha Stewart state of mind. Happy Halloween everyone!
The Best of Maui
I could tell this trip was off to the right start when the flight attendant gave us two free Heinekens to enjoy as our “pre-flight drink.” Ahhhh, nothing tastes better than lukewarm beer in coach. Throughout the course of the flight she slipped us no less than three more beers, mixer and vodka for two […]
Butternut Squash Soup
Like magic, this soup came together in a way I couldn’t have expected when I started. Initially I had planned to channel my inner Barefoot and make her roasted butternut squash soup and curry condiments from Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics. But then I got to the store and they didn’t have McIntosh apples, so […]
I Can Cook, But I Can’t Grill Cheese
As kids, my sister and I would come home from school and “make” nachos, which basically consisted of throwing plain Doritos onto a plate before smothering them with cheddar cheese. As the microwave in our avocado green kitchen whirled away, those old-school Doritos (what ever happened to them, anyway?) would get soft in places as […]
There’s a first time for everything
Some girls dream of their wedding days, some of their first kiss. Me? I have, for far too long now, dreamt of my first Le Creuset pot. Many times I’ve almost taken the plunge, only to pull back, scared to make that big of a commitment. $220 for a 5.5-quart pot? Seems pricey, even if, […]
