Classic American Caeser Salad Recipe – The De-Commercialized Caeser Salad
This is a re-post of a classic recipe that is and will always be a part of our household – Aimee’s family Caeser salad recipe. The first time this was made for me, I literally was bowled over by how different this caeser was compared with all those other sub-par caeser’s that I’d eaten in [...]
Inzana Ranch Nectarines preserved with Search Ranch Honey and mint
My friend Katie has become the canning conniosseur in my life and we’ve gotten ourselves silly with stickiness on numerous canning projects over the past year here in California. Something that she and I have in common is enthusiasm for tantalizing produce from the farmers market that oftentimes inspires our canning projects. We both adore [...]
Simple Italian Tomato Bruschetta – The Perfect Appetizer?
Italy in summer is hot for sure, but that heat that beats down also produces some of the best vegetables known to man, most importantly the epic tomatoes, which proprietors of small restaurants around the south of the country grow in small pots outside of their kitchens. I can’t tell you how unique an experience it [...]
Delicious Summer Drink or Cocktail – Mango Lemonade Recipe
Back when Aimee and I lived in the Bay Area (Alameda more specifically), we had a huge lemon tree in the back yard that used to produce huge Eureka lemons all the time. I always felt a little bad because I couldn’t ever use them all – but when I could, I always used to [...]
Summer Salmon and Tomato Sandwich with Fresh Basil Mayo – Super Simple!
When you have just suffered a day of unbearable heat, and your house is still stagnant with the day’s humid air, sometimes the last thing you feel like doing is increasing the temperature in your house by flaring up the stove. Often during these nights you can’t even tell whether or not you are truly [...]
Traveling Italy (Part 2) – Chianti, Siena and Tuscany
There are not many places in the world that I’ve seen like Toscana (Tuscany to us North Americans). Especially in the summertime, when man, that Tuscan sun is intense – the movie didn’t lie about that one. So after an amazing few days down on the Amalfi Coast, Aimee and I made our way via [...]
Ad Hoc Grapefruit Cake Recipe – Delicious idea for Grapefruit!
Grapefruit is the last citrus fruit that I usually think of – it sort of gets lot in the fuzz among the stars: lemons, oranges and limes. This is unfortunate though, as I absolutely love the flavor of grapefruit, especially when the bitter flavor is mixed with sugar and sweet ingredients. This cake was a [...]
French Potato Salad Recipe – Quick and Easy
This one takes barely anytime at all. In fact, that’s really why I’m posting it here. We’ve both been feeling somewhat beat after getting home from work, so cooking is often the last thing we want to do. Then we watched Food, Inc. and that attitude got flipped around. It prompted us to start getting [...]
Eggplant and Ricotta Lasagna Recipe – Noodle Free Lasagna!
I have taken on two challenges with the invention of this recipe: the first is making a pasta-less lasagna that is hands-down delicious (you’re welcome, gluten-phobes and carb-free dieters!); the second is creating a dish that even the most critical loather of eggplant simply could not resist. Eggplant is a touchy vegetable for some people. [...]
Pepper Chutney Recipe from Jaime Oliver – Great Spicy Condiment for Meat and Fish
Someone asked me the other day if I’ve had a favorite cookbook lately. After some thinking, I happened on a book that I’ve unexpectedly liked over the course of the past year – Jamie Oliver’s Jamie at Home. This recipe comes from the winter section of this book (I like books that are sectioned off [...]
