I’m not a huge fan of spaghetti squash. I’ve tried it so many different ways and this is by far my favorite. Disguised! This recipe feels like pizza. And who doesn’t like pizza? Instead of a flour based crust you use spaghetti squash and cheese. It reminds me of a cauliflower crust. We will definitely …
We can’t get enough cabbage around this house. Odd? perhaps? Gassy? Um, sometimes? But, it’s so good to us! Raw or cooked we love it all. Do you like scalloped potatoes? It’s like that but use charred cabbage. The first step of roasting the wedges in the oven is essential to soften and add a …
This salad is a nod to the street corn you can buy in Mexico on the street at a vendor. Creamy, sweet, and spicy it hits all the right notes. Combining the charred and grilled corn kernels with the sautéed corn creates dimension while the melted butter spicy drizzle adds a punch of flavor. You …
We live in San Francisco. Our city has a large Chinese population and we all get excited for the Lunar New Year around here! Each year I decided to make different Chinese based recipes. Now granted, fortune cookies are an American invention. You won’t see these in mainland China. I grew up with them being …
What is more refreshing than this dish? It feels Mediterranean in ingredients and taste. Perhaps some dill and red onion would give it some more “pop”? I love it just as it is. Serve it with a grilled or roasted protein as a cool side dish. Or eat it just as it is for a …
I love a good veggie side dish. This one of sweetly roasted carrots contrasted with the tang of Greek yogurt and lemon zest gets rounded out with a warm and spicy sweet butter drizzle. Not only is it impressive to look at, it’s a side dish that we keep repeating all year long! Ingredients: 10-20 …
I love banana bread. Who doesn’t love a warm slice of sweet and nutty banana bread on a cold and cozy morning? This recipe is perfect. Half oil, half butter ensures a moist crumb and the taste of butter. The crusty brown sugar topping adds a layer of texture that pops in your mouth. Let …

Mango Sticky Rice! I have always loved this not-too-sweet dessert. We enjoyed lots of it when we honeymooned in Thailand. I was always afraid to make it as there seemed to be so many steps. Once you go through and make it the steps become less intimidating. It’s like you have to learn how to …
Sweet Potato Pie. What a yummy excuse to eat orange vegetables:) This is an easy pie to make and it tastes so dang good. I even prefer it to Pumpkin Pie. I associate it with my Grandmother’s Southern cooking. Mellow and sweet with a caramelized undertone thanks to plenty of brown sugar. Homemade vanilla whipped …
