It was necessary to get in one more popcicle recipe before I start thinking about winter coats, gloves, chattering teeth, and frozen toes...shoveling my way out of a warm, snuggly house to go to work...wind whipping through 14 balloon-like layers only to stab my skin like a million needles...ugh okay now I'm thoroughly depressed. Thanks a lot, popcicles. Good going. Sorry you had to witness my ... [ Read More ]
Sticky Rice With Cilantro and Sweet Caramelized Onions
So this happened. We're eating this delicious sticky rice with this sauce, binge watching Silicon Valley, and my husband, out of nowhere, totally starts flirting with me.

Did you hear that? ... [ Read More ]

I spent more time trying to adequately name this sauce than actually making it. Making sauce = 5 minutes Naming sauce = an embarrassing amount of time that discloses my indecisiveness This Honey Lime Cilantro Sauce could be called Fix Your Food Sauce because it's bound to help anything you pour it over (chicken, steak, pork, fish). It could also be called Honey Lime Vinaigrette because it's got ... [ Read More ]
Mom’s Luscious Lemon Cake
I've been off the grid the past few weeks. It's been a whirlwind of activity with all the cake eating. There's the chewing. And the savoring. The lusting. I mean it takes time, ya know?

She wore herself out ... [ Read More ]
Kiwi Lime Ice Cream
It's so typical of me to tempt you with a kiwi lime ice cream recipe right before we start our 10-Day Fed Up Challenge. But that's how I roll. Always walking the line of rebellion. Quick lime ice cream story: I was lavishly dining with some girlfriends (and by lavishly I mean I actually changed out of my sweats and left the comfort of my home) and there on the dessert menu was kiwi lime jalapeno ...

10 Spring Recipes You Need To Make Right Now
It's spring!!!! California peeps that I'm jealous of: You probably don't use exclamation points when talking about spring because you've been living in glorious weather all year round so you're all "big deal" and "it's January, dude, let's go surfing". Doesn't everybody in CA say "dude" and surf? I admit, I said an occasional dude when I lived in Southern California heaven and never ... [ Read More ]

Top 5 Recipes of 2014
With the hubbub of the holidays, I haven't had much time to whip up any new recipes.
