‘Green’ Chicken with Summer Corn Salad

I don’t know what it is, but so far this summer, I really feel like I have not been taking advantage of the amazing produce available this time of year. Seriously, that baked ratatouille I made recently has kind of been the highlight. I’m lucky enough to work somewhere that has a farmers market right [...]

One Skillet Mediterranean Chicken

I appreciate virtually all genre of foods, but one of my absolute favorites is Mediterranean. The textures, bright flavors and use of healthful ingredients (greens! citrus! herbs! olive oil!) make it easy to love. Last week, I woke up one morning with a big  craving for Mediterranean, and set out to make something to sate [...]

Recipe: Hearty Stuffed Peppers

Do you have a recipe that you often forget about, but whenever you make it, you want to kick yourself for not preparing it more because it’s so easy and so delicious? That’s how I felt when I recently made my roasted stuffed peppers. Ridiculously easy to put together, you can make this recipe as [...]

Recipe: Chicken and green chile stew

I’m pleased to report that when it comes to bringing my lunch to work, I’ve been doing great these last few weeks. {Pat on the back}. It really does help you save a boatload of money, and you have the benefit of eating something that’s a lot more healthful than what you’d probably end up [...]

Summer in San Francisco has lasted all of three days so far, and for the most part, I think the good citizens of the City by the Bay have given up hope on any warm weather until next spring. Fall wardrobes are appearing, and discussions concerning new boots and coats are cropping up all over [...]

Summer in Provence

Believe it or not, our upcoming trip to Paris was one of the most difficult getaways we’ve ever planned, simply because there was so much in France we wanted to see! When we first began laying out a general itinerary, Joe and I both hoped we’d be able to split half of our time in [...]

Love the salt. Hate the steam.

A quick lesson of the day for you, and a little backstory to give it some context. I like to roast whole chickens at home. Why? a) It’s really easy. b) I can throw it in the oven right when I get home from work, putz around on the Internet and watch back episodes of [...]

An awesome recipe to kick off fall…

Like the Mexican Pie I made a few weeks ago, I prepared this chicken dish on Sunday not just for dinner that night, but also for the leftovers I could bring to work with me throughout this week. What I thought would be a straightforward and tasty chicken dish turned into something pretty special. I [...]
