Pass the Prosciutto – Stuffed Prosciutto Meatballs with Cranberry Glaze
Sponsored Post I love a good appetizer. They set the mood for your tastebuds and get you excited for the meal to come. And if they’re wrapped in prosciutto, well… that’s just icing on the cake! Or ham on the meatball. Either way. These meatballs were crafted with Thanksgiving in mind. I stuffed some of […]
End of Summer Empanadas
There are mere hours left of summer – according to the calendar, that is. But I’m going to keep eating tomatoes and corn until I explode or they disappear entirely from the produce section. Only time will tell. If you need one last summer veggie hurrah, I suggest you run out and grab some now (just […]
Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Oh, the things you can cook in 30 minutes. Life-savers, right? Well, I’m guessing that pork tenderloin doesn’t immediately come to mind for a quick dinner. It totally should! Just think of it. In less time than you would spend waiting for pizza delivery, you can make a beautifully glazed, dinner-party-worthy pork tenderloin. Thats pretty […]
Sausage & Goat Cheese Meatball Sandwiches
I recently had a “meatball sandwich” from an establishment that shall remain nameless. My friend got one too, and we were both a little confused when our sandwiches came out with lettuce, tomato, and onion on them. What?? Is this a Bay Area thing? This has happened to me here before, and I don’t get […]
Mini Corn Dogs from Tiny Food Party
When life gets crazy, it’s nice to have something to look forward to, no matter how tiny it may be. This September was just about the busiest month I’ve ever encountered (a close runner-up being the one when we moved to a new city and got married in the old city, in that order). I […]
Bacon Basil Cornbread Muffins
This started off with such an innocent thought: I haven’t had cornbread in a while… From there my mind wandered to the mound of fresh corn in my fridge. Well I should definitely add some of that. But I can’t JUST add corn. What else… Crispy bacon? Sure. Use the rendered bacon fat in place […]
Smoky Pork Spare Ribs
We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave… And unlike in Marilyn’s case, no amount of dudes in striped pants and matching suspenders can help with this situation. There are two things I usually turn to in sweltering heat: the beach and/or a grill. Unfortunately, I’m a bit of a drive from the beaches these […]
Mexican Breakfast Hash
Well this week was… eventful. Or not, depending on how you look at it. I started it off by pulling a muscle in my back, spent the next few days mostly in bed, then topped it all off with a couple of cooking misadventures. Nothing is more discouraging than throwing away food. At least I […]
Bacon Jam Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Sometimes you make something once and know that you’ll never try any other version of it; it’s just too perfect to stray from. Ina Garten’s chicken stock comes to mind. Sure I’ve made variations on it, but this is my base recipe for chicken stock. I’ve seen plenty of chicken stock recipes that look/sound great, […]
Croque Madame & Photo Roundup: Valentine’s Day
If there had to be a theme to my Valentine’s Day, I think it would be “making food for Josh that he absolutely loves and I never make for some reason.” A close runner up would be “delicious.” This man’s favorite breakfast, brunch, and lunch is a croque madame. I know this not because he’s […]
