Monday, May 10, 2010 at 6:51PM Serious question. What is better than rendered bacon grease, cheddar cheese, grilled peppers, and roasted garlic? Adding them to corn bread, that’s what! During my crab leg orgy, I knew I couldn’t just stop at grilled crab legs. C’mon, how fun is that? Cornbread is easy peasy. Let’s kick things up a little.
Monday, April 5, 2010 at 10:27PM I promised you a quickie, so here it is! Eggs Florentine. Uh-huh!! YUMMY!
Since I’m Martha-Flipping-Stewart, I can never just make one thing. I can never make just one batch of cookies or make just one side dish or just one type of pizza. No, I have to go outdo myself and make like 15 things. So on the morning of my delicious crepes, I decided to ‘whip’ up some eggs Florentine, because you know, egg Florentine are super quick and super easy. Not.
Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 8:55PM You ever have one of those days where you’d rather order out than cook something? I don’t have them often, and normally, I’m so disappointed in whatever I ordered that I find myself regretting not cooking. I still did the courtesy flip through my take out menus, but nothing was grabbing my attention. I decided to compromise with myself, and my taste buds.
Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 3:34PM My favorite thing about summer, and the part I miss the most, is grilling out. Nothing tops spending a day by the pool, then coming home to throw something on the grill. The smoky flavor that subtle comes through the taste of whatever marinade you decide to put on your meat or fish…the juices of a burger sizzling over the hot coals…that slightly charred smell that signals perfection. Mmmmmm…I can almost smell the fire!
Monday, February 1, 2010 at 11:29PM Lately, I’ve been feeling a little uninspired, which is why I haven’t been writing as much. I know, I know, I know. I always say I’ll post more, and then I don’t. There has been a little bit of a family crisis going on. Well, actually, a big one. My grandfather has been in the hospital, in ICU, for the last three weeks, so all my free time has been spent driving to my hometown and sitting in his room, talking to him, holding his hand, and trying to help out as much as possible. That hasn’t left room for cooking or writing.
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 1:44AM Breakfast has to be my favorite meal. But during the week, it is usually just fresh fruit or some oatmeal. I’m not a morning person. I would much rather spend the 10-15 minutes it would take me to make breakfast in bed snuggling. And sleeping. But mostly snuggling. Weekends though, weekends are another story. For starters, most of the time, I don’t have anywhere to be in the morning, which leaves more time for snuggling, coffee drinking and breakfast. Also, I can wake up on my terms, so there is no Captain Cranky Pants stumbling into the kitchen trying to make something to eat. (I’m Captain Cranky Pants in case you weren’t sure).
Breakfast, Cheese, chorizo, eggs, hot sauce, maple sour cream in Cheese, Mexican-Inspired, Spicy Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 3:34PM Ahhh, fall. How I love you! I’ve already professed my love of fall for things like pumpkin cookies, FOOTBALL, and chili. Things I don’t love? Tomatoes, cucumbers, sea urchin, raw onions, and shrimp. Weird combination, I know. I’ve been trying really hard to be a grown up about the above mentioned foods, but it’s really tough-even though I’m forced to cut no fewer than 10 tomatoes EVERY Saturday when I work in the kitchen at the restaurant. Even though, Carlos knows I hate tomatoes, I see him smile every time he tells me that is on my list of things to do.
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 3:41PM But first, I leave you with these delicious little bites. I'm hoping to post while I'm in Napa, but sorry guys...can't make any promises. I have no idea what kind of shape I'll be in while I'm out there. Have I mentioned that we have 6!!! tastings scheduled on Thursday?!?!?!?!
