From my kitchen to your palate
Since my true passion lies in food, wine, and cooking, I tend to talk a lot about all three, even at my day job. I’ve found sharing your interests is the best way to connect with likeminded people, plus they always have great tips and …
You all remember pigs in a blanket, right? We popped open those ready made dough tubes trying not to scare the crap out of ourselves (I always hated that tube pop!), wrapped it around a hot dog, and into the oven it went. I guess …
I love breakfast. I’m one of those people who always wakes up hungry so breakfast is one of my favorite meals. Lately during the weekdays I’ve been fasting and waiting to eat until lunch (that’s a different topic that I may touch on later), but …

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, …
It’s finally feeling like summertime in San Diego! I thought we lost our picture perfect weather forever, but it’s peering it’s pretty head for the start of July. Funny enough, this time last year San Diego had searing hot temperatures, maybe that’s why we’re starting …
