Let me share my adventures and stories in hopes to inspire you.

A surprising twist to a party staple I never would have thought of rosemary in guacamole. To me rosemary screams Italian or Mediterranean style foods, not Mexican. Oh boy, was I wrong. When we were in Cabo we went on a day trip to San Jose del Cabo (here is that blog post if you […]

A Mexican staple with a twist Memories of Cabo When my husband and I visited Cabo this past spring we had the pleasure of attending a cooking class at Flora Farms in San Jose del Cabo. We had our friends, Dirk and Tina, visiting with us and they thought it sounded like a fun adventure […]

A little taste of Provence in a cast iron pan One reason that I love pork tenderloin is it can cook up pretty quickly and takes on flavor easily. You can cut it into medallions and even pound them out for a schnitzel. I was having one of those days where hours went by faster […]

A “somewhat” healthy salad I am not one to count calories but I do try and eat healthy. Healthy meaning fresh vegetables and no processed foods to speak of. I love all types of grains and this salad has farro as the star. Have you tried farro before? It reminds me of a cross between […]

Veggie salad with some crunch! I love raw veggies. Usually, you think of veggies and dip when it comes to uncooked vegetables but i really love using them in salads.

There is tryptophan that helps your body produce serotonin which creates that comfort feeling inside of us. That is what emotionally […]

I love this salad! It is light and refreshing with a touch of mystery. What makes it so different? There are a few different things about this salad that are a bit different than a typical green salad. One, the “croutons” are made of fried pita chips vs bread. Second, it highlights flavors that you […]

Simple summer meal in a bowl Ahhhh….the simplicity of a good meal in the summer. I am blessed to live where we can grow vegetables all year round but I am very fond of summer veggies. Corn. I love corn. It is also one of my husbands favorite dishes. Since moving to TX we seem […]

I love salty things. Maybe it is more of the brine I love but I can’t resist olives of any type. Capers? Forget it. I can pop those salty bits of goodness in my mouth for no reason at all. How can you use olive tapenade? The question should be, how can you not. I […]
