What day is it????
Come on you know it’s Tuesday so that means Tacos! Well for me a taco bowl, but still with all the yummy fixings. I went super San Diego style and used Butcher Box cod for the protein so it was tasty, but healthy and light …
From my kitchen to your palate
Dinner
Sunday Summer Supper
I know it doesn’t feel like summer today if you’re in San Diego, but yesterday was the picture perfect sunny June day (no June gloom in yesterday’s forecast) so I was in the mood to make a light dish. I had a pork tenderloin defrosted …
Monday’s Memorial Day Lineup
We had such a nice long Memorial Day weekend. We got together with the family on Saturday and had a BBQ at a friend’s house Sunday (it was so great to give everyone hugs, finally!!), so Monday was just me and the hubs. I had …
Taco Tuesday is on deck
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Having that extra day off is so nice, but trying to squeeze in five days of work into four is no bueno. So I decided to make dinner easy for the first work day this week …
Meat take a seat, Eggplant Parmesan is on Deck!

We love our Traeger Smoker. We’ve had it for over 10 years and I’ve posted previous recipes using the Traeger as our cooking method of preference. The smoker is wonderful, but it does require a lot of time to get that smoky ring and flavor …
Little chicks aka Cornish Hens

Kitchen sink polenta
Hi there friends. Geeze…it’s been so long since I posted anything. You would have thought with this COVID 19 taking over our lives I would post more, but working from home’s got me blue; once I’m done for the day I don’t want to look …
Got fish? Yup right down the street!
We love eating seafood and since we live in San Diego places to buy fresh fish are bountiful. We hit different markets depending where we are for the day, but I was just told (thank you Nancy!) about a new market that has opened literally …
