From my kitchen to your palate

It’s fall again, again. If you don’t remember about a month ago in San Diego we had a cold snap and I thought fall was here to stay. Well, I thought wrong. Just a week ago we had another scorcher of a day; people even …
Mexican food is my hubby’s favorite ethnic meal and my tummy’s enemy. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mexican food, but for some reason it doesn’t love me back. I don’t know if it’s the raw onions, or the cooking fat used, or the fact …

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about our food sources, especially how our beef, chicken, and pork are fed, raised and processed. I’ve wanted to go grass fed and finished for a while now and even though we have multiple stores were I can find …
You know how much I love making chicken, fish, beef, burgers, etc., but every now and then (well I’m trying to aim for a few times a week) we go veggie. Now don’t get me wrong, going veggie doesn’t mean going less delicious or hearty, …
