Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Carlo and I had a wonderful time camping at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon over the Labor Day weekend. Aside from a torrential thunder and hail storm on Friday night, the weekend was perfect from the cool alpine weather to the breathtaking scenery. Carlo also picked out some great food to cook too. [...]
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
In an attempt to try and eat better (aka lose weight), I have limited myself to baking only when we have someone coming over for dinner. Thankfully Carlo invited a friend to dinner last weekend, so I was able to take advantage of the fresh rhubarb that I had seen at the grocery store to [...]
Grilled Asparagus with Fresh Dried Chili Oil
Now that summer is here, I find ourselves eating lighter food, which normally means a ton of salads. However, sometimes I get a bit bored of eating lettuce regardless of what we may put on top of it. When you want something light but are sick of salads, this Grilled Asparagus with Fresh Dried Chili [...]
Chilaquiles al Guajillo
Chilaquiles is one of my favourite things to eat for breakfast. Seriously, what could be a better combination than tortilla chips, spicy sauce, and eggs? I could perhaps eat these everyday and be perfectly content (even though I would probably be the size of a house!). This Chilaquiles al Guajillo recipe is from Rick Bayless, [...]
Summer Fruit Desserts, Part 2: Balsamic Strawberries
I love strawberries and always have, despite my 15+ year fruit phobia where I did not eat any fruit, or even liked to be around fruit or people eating fruit (yes, I realize this is very strange). Anyway strawberries were always on the safe list because they weren’t juicy and could be eaten with a [...]
Moroccan Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon
Last week when Carlo and I met his family in Carlsbad, his brother gave us some more Meyer Lemons from his garden in Tucson. Last time he gave us some, I made the delicious Lemon Curdy Pudding. However this time I wanted to make something savory with the lemons, so I made Moroccan Chicken with [...]
Tomato and Mozzarella Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
I love summer because it brings sweet and juicy tomatoes, and tons of basil. Both seasonal ingredients are a perfect match for each other and often end up together in a Caprese Salad. Here is an updated version of this classic Tomato and Mozzarella Salad, but instead of whole basil leaves and a simple dressing [...]
Beef Skewers Marinated in Harissa and Yogurt with Cucumber Salad
Saturday evening was spent sitting outside with Carlo on our patio  pouring over all the new food magazines that had arrived in the mail that day while drinking Bulleit Lemonades and smelling these Beef Skewers Marinated in Harissa and Yogurt on the grill. It was perhaps the perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday evening [...]
Bulleit Lemonade
I’ve never been much of a cocktail person aside from the odd gin and tonic, or the summer Carlo and I spent perfecting mojitos, but for some reason lately both of us have been craving a Bulleit Lemonade that we first tried at Lambert’s in Austin. This tart concoction is THE perfect drink for sitting [...]
Curry Three For All, Part 1: Cauliflower, Egg and Potato Curry
I find that there is nothing more annoying than buying some esoteric ingredient for a particular recipe and then never using it again (hello, pomegranate molasses still in my fridge!). With that in mind, we are going to have a Curry Three For All to showcase three different recipes (one vegetarian, one chicken, and one [...]
