Chicken is just so chicken. It can be kinda boring at times. With the weather warming up outdoors, grilling is in the air. Can you smell it? What can we do to create a mysteriously good grilled chicken dish? Let’s think about this. Lately, I have gravitated towards flavors that are hidden and make a [...]
The first time I tasted this Sweet Garlic Soup, I knew I could never live without it. The name, yes, is very interesting, sweet and garlic combined? But, it is so incredibly good. I dream about making vats of it daily to feed the world. Where did this recipe come from? I am proud to [...]

An amazon.com box filled with Krueig coffee cups arrived on the front door step last week. The reason? Well, there was a party last [...]
Love Deviled Eggs. Making them is an entirely different story. The most frustrating part; the peeling. In the past, more hard-cooked egg than egg shells end up in the sink. Resulting in an unappealing miss-shaped appetizer. No one will be running to those babies at a potluck gathering. With Easter this weekend I bring you [...]
Here I am. Eating a bowl of carbonara comfort food with a mound of shaved Parmesan The hiatus last week was due to a little commitment on the calendar. A Silent Auction thingy. You see, public schools here in California have been hit pretty hard by state budget cuts. Fundraising foots the bill for many [...]
