With a focus on sustainable eating.
Making a juicy grilled chicken is not an easy undertaking, even by someone with some serious grilling skills. It’s not difficult getting some great grill marks, but keeping the inside tender while the grill marks are forming often makes for a fairly dry chicken breast. This is where sous-vide cooking can add a [...]
Thank you Meat God. When we moved out of Texas last year to come back to my home state California, one thing I knew I’d miss was Burgundy Pasture Beef. The ranch in Grandview, Texas was a gem in where I sourced my meats. We would drive to the ranch about every 6 weeks (it [...]
I love participating in the group #SundaySupper where over 50 fellow food bloggers get together every weekend to share our recipes with each other and anyone else on the web. Last week’s Soul Warming theme netted a handful of recipes I couldn’t wait to try. On top of that list was Hezzi-D’s Jalapeno Popper Chicken [...]

Hint, hint… The one that really caught my eye was a Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Casserole (pg. 45) that just looked like some amazing [...]

I don’t make a lot of recipes that call for three cans of anything, but I decided to make an exception since these looked so good. I did go with some different brands using some Pacific Natural Foods for the Cream of Chicken and Muir Glen Organics for the tomato and chilies. The sauce in this [...]
This is my first time contributing a recipe to the great #SundaySupper group organized by Isabel. This week’s theme is Back to School Meals. Each recipe must be easy to make in less than 30 minutes making it an easy fit for cooking at home during a school night. Well this is something I live [...]
I’ve been hotel living now for over two weeks and this recipe is my most adventurous to date. It also presented me with a bit of a dilemma in the middle of cooking when I suddenly realized I didn’t have a wine bottle opener. Fortunately, the hotel provided serrated knife which I then used to [...]
If you enjoy Indian food and like to cook at home, you should get to know Madhur Jaffrey if you haven’t already. She is basically the cookbook author who brought Indian cooking to the American home. I have her first cookbook, but recently received her latest At Home with Madhur Jaffrey for my birthday last February. [...]
