Zesty Crunchy Slaw ( no mayo)
This slaw is perfect served as a side on a fried chicken platter or atop a fried chicken sandwich. It is fresh, a bit spicy, especially if you opt to add the jalapeños, and the pickled onions give it a great zest. I didn’t add the jalapeños and I found it delightful. Your choice! I served…
Parker’s BBQ Fried Chicken
Every now and then I get a real craving for fried chicken. There are plenty of reasons not to make fried chicken.

Pan-Seared Salmon with Tarragon-Cucumber Salad
Just one week ago we returned home from a Montana vacation / reunion with my siblings / our anniversary celebration / and upon our arrival from Bozeman to LA , a celebratory brunch in honor of the engagement the evening before of our older son and his girlfriend! Whew! Yes, we really did celebrate all…
Britta’s Peanut Butter Cookies
And this is why I find it difficult to discard old cooking magazines! I recently discovered the recipe for these fantastic peanut butter cookies in a 2007 issue of Gourmet that somehow survived my pre-move purge of cooking magazines 2 years ago. The cover photo of “The Perfect Cherry Pie“ is most likely why I…
