First off, these muffins are so darn cute! We are talking 2-bite muffins. And while made with fresh Jalapeño, they really aren’t spicy, just flavorful. These muffins can go with anything you would normally serve with a side of cornbread. Yum!

Asparagi al Limone e Gemelli
Foods just sound so much more interesting in French or Italian. This dish sounds fancy, when all we are really saying is Asparagus with Lemon and Pasta. Okay, so we are mentioning the type of pasta, too.
Roasted Game Hens with Orange Sauce
I get my inspiration from a multitude of places, everything from serving the web to reading cookbooks. I am a very visual person, so pictures speak to me. While surfing the net for roasted chickens, I came across a recipe for a roasted chicken with an orange sauce. I read the recipe, but it didn’t fully jive with the photo. Hum, what’s up with that?
Peppered Rib Eye With Roasted Garlic
Me extended family is coming to dinner soon. I’ve promised an awesome six-course supper. At first I kicked around the idea of building a menu around French or Italian flavors. While multi-course meal planning is challenging all on its own, French or Italian dishes seem to make the planning a little easier. An American Six-Course Supper? Now that’s a challenge!
Colorful Bell Pepper Corn is Magical
The first time I made this corn dish for my family, it was a cold, wet Sunday in May. I don’t know about your neck of the world, but in our central valley of sunny California, spring had made an abrupt turn and winter took its place. We were cold. Freezing cold. Snow in the mountains. It was cold and wet. Can’t go outside wet and worried my garden was going to suffer wet. Thunder and lightening and hail. Strange for the end of May.
Spicy Chili Cheese Corn Dogs
Would you believe that under all the spicy chili, creamy melting cheese, diced onions and chopped fresh peppers is a Corn Dog? Yep, this delicious casual supper is super easy, super tasty and super messy to eat. Although the Corn Dog has been around since the 1920s, I did not grow up eating Corn Dogs. We ate hot dogs. Lots and lots of hot dogs.
Texas Roadhouse Smoky Espresso Steak
More and more, the Flat Iron Steak is popping up on Steak House menus. There is good reason. Flat Irons are flavorful, lean yet tender. The Flat Iron is actually a cut from the Chuck, so it’s relatively inexpensive when compared to the Tenderloin that gives us our Filet Mignon.
Celebrating National Fried Rice Day with Super Fast Vegetable Fried Rice
Did you know that today is National Fried Rice Day? Yep, an entire day dedicated to fried rice. I love fried rice. What I don’t like about it is that authentic fried rice is something that requires planning. Everyone knows the best rice is day-old or at least hours old rice.

Jazzy Cajun Fish over a Bed of Yellow Rice
Next month we have three different festivals up in the Gold Rush country of California. These events are all on the same day. It’s going to be hard to pick just one.

National Butterscotch Pudding Day
Are you a fan of butterscotch? I am, but in limited consumption. Butterscotch cookies are awesome. Butterscotch sauce poured over ice cream and you can count me in. Butterscotch Pudding, now that’s where I draw the line unless it’s served as a Trifle.
Return to Me Oh Chicken Vesuvio!
Have you ever seen the 2000 romantic comedy, “Return To Me” with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver? It was written and directed by Bonnie Hunt, and was the last film of Carroll O’Connor’s career. He died a year later, and we lost one of the great ones. If you haven’t seen it, I’m not going to spoil it for you other than to say this was a beautiful romantic comedy, a real throw back to a more innocent time in the film industry.
Provencal Beef Stew with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
What is it about Sun-Dried Tomatoes that makes them so delicious, so versatile and oh so good? Love them in a salad, or with chicken or in a sauce. Sometimes when I’m cooking, I will munch on some Sun-Dried Tomatoes the way other people enjoy fruit leather.

Steak House French Onion Burger
There are a lot of things I take pride in and strive to accomplish. Variety at the dinner table is something that I strive to do. Here we are, three weeks into September and I have yet to repeat myself in the kitchen.
Crescent Jalapeño Poppers with a Little Sizzle
It’s mid-September and most of our garden has been uprooted so that we can prepare the planter boxes for another crops – maybe. The verdict is still out as to a winter garden. I’ve actually thought about building another planter box that will be dedicated to Purple Asparagus. Yeah, I know it takes years for asparagus to reach harvesting perfection, but I love asparagus.

The Grand Taco Touchdown!
I know, football season has barely begun, so why am I thinking Super Bowl? In part because I don’t really care what teams are playing so I can think ahead. I’m only a fan of football for two reasons – I love my husband and I love the “munchie” style foods we all enjoy.
