Prosciutto Chicken and Arugula
Staying on my prosciutto hype this month is a crowd-pleasing dish you can easily whip up for a crowd when you are tired of the usual holiday fare or strapped on time but have lots of hungry mouths to feed! Okay, I am keeping the rambling short and sweet for this quick entree that is…

“Leftover” Chicken Congee
*UPDATED (AND SIMPLIFIED) FROM OLD BLOG! Need an idea for what to do with your leftover turkey from Thanksgiving? Here it is! Utilize every part of that holiday turkey by boiling the bones to make a salty broth for the base of this traditional Asian dish. Knowing I would be eating turkey for days later…

Fall Harvest Maple Sage Bowl
I recently had a long and thoughtful conversation with a fellow “food blogger.” *I will start by saying I don’t even consider myself a food blogger, I am just a woman who cooks a lot and has a food blog for her family and friends to cook along with. Anywho, this conversation was around recipe…

Hot & Sour Soup
As the weather continues to refuse to turn to summer (a mere 60 degrees F here in Southern California but still so very gray), I am reluctantly accepting that I will continue to be pale and depressed for the month. The one thing that gets me through it all — a heartwarming soup. You can…

Prosciutto & Sundried Tomato Quiche

Thai Green Curry Noodles
*REPOST FROM THE OLD BLOG* This is an oldie but a GOODIE. It hits every time and is so cozy. And despite my denial that we aren’t still in summer here in LA, I will concede that the best part of the fall is cozy soups and noodles. This dish was a happy surprise that…

Goat Cheese Peppadews
This super simple recipe was another one of my grandmother’s favorite appetizers to whip out during the holiday season. With only three ingredients (or two if you so desire), they are rich, packed with flavor, and completely addicting. Being the great cook that she was, she would buy plain goat cheese and whip in her…

Green Chicken Pozole
Pozole has always been a special treat for me. For a long time growing up, my maternal grandparents lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A magical place with green chili everything, enchiladas to die for, fascinating art, loads of turquoise jewelry, and cozy stucco homes. We would visit in the summer for long days at…
