Butternut, beef, and bringing in fall!

It’s fall again! Well it has been for the past two days at least. Honestly this weather is crazy. We went from 90 degrees on Saturday to 70 degrees on Sunday. Now I’m not complaining, fall is my favorite time of year, but a 20 

Cheesy Beefy Pasta Bake

Some days you just want some comfort food that’s warm, cheesy, and yummy. Although this isn’t the healthiest bake, I do try to incorporate veggies to give it a vitamin boost and make it a little lighter than a traditional heavy bake. I also use

Summer spritz?!?! Wait, it’s not summer anymore. Fall showed up about a month ago, what gives? Well I’ll tell you what. San Diego, and her breezy BFF Santa Ana, decided to give us a warm week, hotter than any summer day we had this year.

Mmmmmm bacon. Is there anyone out there that doesn’t like bacon? Well, unless you are a vegetarian, I get that bacon is off limits for you, but for my meat eaters, who doesn’t drool when they smell the sizzle of bacon? I do love the

The last bit of summer spuds

I know the official first day of fall started last Monday, but I’m still savoring the last bit of summer. Plus in San Diego summer tends to linger on well into fall so this dish is still relevant, right? Well, maybe is isn’t but I’m
