Happy Taco Tuesday! And nothing like getting a Taco Tuesday post in way under the gun (like… after most people’s dinner time…). But hopefully you’ll be so inspired that you’ll bookmark this one for next Tuesday in the event that I missed you today! Because I am so excited about…

I promise I’m not turning this into a grilling blog, guys. But for real, grilling has been happening on the regular at our house these days. And I’ve been having loads of fun experimenting with new recipes like this one for Barbecue Ribs on the Gas Grill. Why use a…

It has been hot hot HOT in San Diego the past few weeks. And when its hot, I grill. I grill things like these Grilled Shrimp with Sundried Tomato Gremolata. I actually didn’t own a grill until a year ago – can you believe that? Dave and I had just…

Anyone else on baked goods overload this quarantine? Don’t get me wrong, I am deeply enjoying my sourdough starter adventures (yes I eagerly and unabashedly jumped on that quarantine trend…) ((see the small crust of bread hiding in the photos?? I made that, guys!!)), but there’s really only so many…

Cast Iron Margherita Pizza, aka possibly the best thing I’ve made this quaratine so far. Sorry for holding out on you until now! And yup, it is another Kenji Lopez-Alt recipe that I absolutely love. (Anyone else adore this guy? His recipes are so so good!) This pizza recipe couldn’t…

A keen eye may have noticed a different background, dishes, and hand in this post 😉  This post is documented from an “on the road” photoshoot at my friend Emily’s house in the bay area. We don’t get up to the bay area enough, but when we do it’s always amazing.…

And here I am 2 weeks after my last 2 week delay in post travesty.  I’m so sorry guys!  But there are reasons behind these delays. I completely ran out of back-logged photos.  And if you are a food blogger, you will know how annoying that situation is.  That means that…

Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs is totally underrated.  As someone that grew up on spaghetti with jarred tomato sauce I think it’s easy to become disillusioned with this meal as something that’s borne of necessity and not something that can be fancy and upscale. Let me tell you, though, that this recipe absolutely…
