I made these chicken fajitas for dinner last night. This is a relatively quick dinner to get on the table as long as you leave enough time to marinate the chicken. I would suggest at least a couple of hours, and up to 24 for those who really plan ahead. The nice thing about making…
Artisanal Salami And More In San Luis Obispo
We spent the last week in San Luis Obispo, a lovely small town on the central coast of California. It is located midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, making it the perfect place for our sons (and their girlfriends) to meet up with us there for Father’s Day weekend. SLO has much to offer…a…
Blueberry Streusel Pie
Our best friends were bringing pizza over for dinner last night. I promised not to fuss since we are leaving in 2 days for the west coast. Those who know me know that me not fussing is an oxymoron , but I tried. The challenge was to see if I could avoid going to the…
Easy Sticky Buns
Sticky Buns! They’re not something you can eat every day, but occasionally you have to find a justifiable reason to bake them. Having invited some guests for brunch on the patio last Sunday seemed reason enough for me. Growing up in the Pennsylvania Dutch area I was first introduced to sticky buns at an early…

Crisp and Chewy (Big) Chocolate Chip Cookies

Milanesa refers to a lightly pounded beef or chicken fillet that has been gently dredged in flour, dipped in egg, and then dredged again in breadcrumbs before sauteeing to a golden crispness. This is a popular…
Mom’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Mother’s Day began for me on Friday when my husband thoughtfully brought home some gorgeous orange tulips. I have become partial to orange flowers lately, and tulips are one of my favorites. He figured I might as well enjoy them for the whole weekend, and he figured right. Then on Saturday I received a floral…

Couscous With Roasted Carrots, Fennel And Toasted Almonds
This is a richly flavored side dish yet chock full of healthy ingredients. I’ve adapted this from a recipe I found on Food52. I roasted carrots and some of the minced shallots along with the fennel. Instead of couscous alone I substituted a blend of grains available at Trader Joe’s. It is a combination of…
