FOOD PHOTO CONTEST: RICK BAYLESS’S TWITTER CHALLENGE WEEK 4
As all good things come to an end so did my chances of winning a cookbook during the four-week span of Rick Bayless’s recipe challenge. I tried my best, sometimes a little too much, and the outcome may have been justly reflected. Needless to say, I enjoyed my time in the kitchen trying out new … Continue reading
FOOD PHOTO CONTEST: RICK BAYLESS’S TWITTER CHALLENGE WEEK 3
And so it goes…another recipe submission and no success. I am determined to win a cookbook one way or another! Week three of the Rick Bayless Twitter Recipe Challenge might have been the trickiest by far with a tropical scallop ceviche. Having never made a ceviche before, I was a little hesitant to use raw … Continue reading
These are a Few of My Favorite Things – Sunday Coffee
While this is not a recipe for a dinner or a dessert I feel it’s more a recipe for enjoying life. I find nothing more comforting than having a slow, calm morning doing anything I want at my own pace. Unfortunately this is a luxury I rarely afford to myself. It often takes a little … Continue reading

Food Photo Contest: Rick Bayless’s Twitter Challenge Week 1
To my surprise, Rick Bayless has started a four week long contest to promote his latest cookbook – ‘Fiesta at Rick’s’. Naturally I jumped at this opportunity given my love for Mexican food and any sort of cooking competition. The whole idea behind the contest is to decipher Rick’s 140 character recipe and you do … Continue reading
Pantry Raid! Tortellini with Shrimp and Asparagus
Every few weeks or so the roommates and some friends of mine gather for a pot-luck style dinner. Last week we chose an Italian theme working around my friend Katie’s version of chicken saltimbocca. Katie by the way, is a very near and dear friend of mine who I have known since college. She too, … Continue reading
Strong to the “Finich” – Arctic Char with Red Curry Spinach and Sauteed Greens
As children, Popeye always encouraged us to eat our spinach to be strong like him (and have raging forearm muscles), but who wants to eat spinach from a can?! While trying to eat a little healthier after two weekends of parties, weddings, and dining out I felt that a meal incorporating spinach was the way … Continue reading
Life’s a Beach – Sweet Pineapple Galette
There’s no better time of year than when pineapple is in season and its aroma and taste are as sweet as candy. Whole Foods was running a special the other day so I of course had to scoop one up. I had been looking through my Williams & Sonoma Pies cookbook this past week and … Continue reading
Knead Me – Rosemary and Caramelized Onion Loaf
Pasta and bread were two of my main food groups as a kid. A giant bowl of pasta with a side of bread? Yes please! I still do it to this day and I’m not even Italian. I will often times have a dinner that is solely bread and olive oil maybe a little bit … Continue reading
