Mediterranean Pita Pockets
What IS IT with Tupperware? Every time I put a piece away, I neatly stack it nestled from large to small and lids to the side. Then I close the cabinet door and I SWEAR to you, those plastic little lunatics have a good time, make babies and those babies throw themselves around in a deconstructive manner.
Harvest Salad
What a busy few days it has been! On Friday I had the pleasure of recording a little blurb for KEYT morning news out of Santa Barbara. I had so much fun! Granted I got up at 3:30 in the morning and my bleary and puffy eyed little self had to be in Santa Barbara by 5:30 but who cares! It was a blast. The lovely Lisa Carey who is handling all of the PR for the event was with me as well. You can see a clip of it here.
Harvest Soup
About five years ago, Jessica and I catered an Italian themed engagement party. We did a food test first with our hubby’s and then for the client to make sure everything was delicious. And to give us an excuse to get together and cook. And drink wine. One of the items we served was this Harvest Soup. Actually at the time we called it Tuscan soup. It’s so easy and so yum. A great starter for Thanksgiving. Or serve it in a shot glass with the crostini poking out. Or make a big ol’ whopping bowl all to yourself for dinner. That’s what I would do.
Bourbon Chicken with Caramelized Shallots
Sometimes I forget how to be an adult. I forget how to talk about life, love, and fears outside of them being associated directly with my children. You see, the moment Pixie was born my life changed forever.
Ventura County Harvest Festival
I am so very honored to be a part of this event! Please come down and visit me. On Saturday I will be making Bourbon Chicken with caramelized shallots and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. On Sunday, I will be serving up a Harvest Salad with arugula, oven roasted tomatoes, wilted mushrooms, burrata cheese and shaved parmesan with a truffle oil drizzled over the top. I will be hosting cooking demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 PM. I will also be handing out my thanksgiving recipes and tastes of my food. I hope to see you all there!
Portobello Mushroom Burger
Really? I mean really? 108 degrees in Los Angeles today? Hey, Mother Nature! Did you not get the memo? It’s October 1st. We are supposed to be cooling down now, not heating up! And there was no escaping this heat for me today as I was outside for most of the day.
Today I had the pleasure of going to a local farm with Buggies class on a field trip. Yes, I spent my day with tractor rides, pumpkin picking, tons of kids, corn mazes and working on my swassiness. Swassy: an adjective to describe the sweat and heat in your um….nether regions. Swamp + Ass = Swassy. Learn it and live it people.
