(Psssst! I secretly snuck away this weekend to Michigan to see my parents new Lake House). ((And it was SO FUN!)) But let’s talk about the whirlwind of working 3 days last week after hosting my sister and friends at our apartment for Labor Day, then coming home on Thursday…

First of all I want to congratulate Cheyanne from No Spoon Necessary who was the winner of the Sweet Phi Cookbook giveaway! Get excited for some amazing recipes coming your way, Cheyanne 🙂 If you’re a newcomer and don’t know about Phi’s cookbook, I’d highly recommend that you pop on…
Yes I survived the San Diego earthquake this morning. Apparently San Diego has earthquakes? I guess I didn’t really appreciate that until now. The faultline is about 85 miles east of San Diego in the Anza-Borrego desert. Anyway, not to be too anticlimactic, but I definitely slept through the whole…
I just learned there is something called Oysterfest here in San Diego. And it’s happening this weekend! I still haven’t decided if I will go or not, but music, drink, and shellfish will abound. However, for all you shellfish lovers out there who might not have access to an Oysterfest,…
Are you ready for this? Behold my latest favorite creation- the mozzarella, tomato, and red pepper bruschetta. If you remember my post on Napa, you might recall that we went to a winery with a mozzarella bar. A mozzarella bar, guys. And the mozzarella dish that I had was so good…

And secondly – the flavor profile is incredibly similar to mozzarella. It’s stretched and pulled thin…
Anyone else crazy for ceviche? I’ve been devouring it with reckless abandon at all my favorite restaurants, but until recently it hadn’t been attempted in the Gourmet Gourmand kitchen. And there’s really no logical reason for the avoidance, just that it seemed like one of those fancy things you only…
Just going to throw this out there: you should probably stop what you are doing immediately and make these delicious onion pakora. This is an appropriate yet unintentional follow-up to my Guide to Ethnic Recipes post; so now that you’ve been well-educated on international recipe discovery, it’s time to roll…
Cauliflower: the controversial vegetable. For cruciferous lovers, it is a sweet and tender vegetable delicacy. For haters it is a pungent and pallid atrocity. (To the haters: this recipe might make you change your minds). I haven’t always been so fortunate as to appreciate the merits of cauliflower. But in…
Am I the last one to the Pimento Cheese party? I literally had no idea this was a Southern thing until, like, last week. I was getting all excited to show the world this *Brand New* recipe born in Ann Arbor, Michigan- Zingerman’s Pimento Cheese with Garlic Bagel Chips. ‘Lo…
