Thank you to California Grown for encouraging me to connect with California growers and encouraging California consumers to “Choose California Grown” when they can.

I know, I know. Being a locavore is so “in” right now that singing the praises of “buying local” might sound like a silly plea from yet another [...]

Miss L has her first “school Thanksgiving” today at lunch. There was a sign-up on the door to bring in certain elements of a normal Turkey Day meal… like turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, etc. Being the sweets lover that I am, I signed up to bring pumpkin pie and whipped cream.

Is your city/town home to a storefront selling designer donuts? If it does… you are oh so lucky to indulge in the goodness of mixing really decadent things into donut batter. If it doesn’t have one yet, but it has a cupcake shop… you might be in for a treat in a [...]

the really lazy cooking days

On August 29, 2011 · 13 Comments · In yummy

Just yesterday, we pulled out all the stops on a lovely dinner with friends: 16-spice roasted (& grilled chicken), cuban corn and vanilla-lime crème brûlée (recipe to follow tomorrow!). But that was a Sunday night dinner… and most nights aren’t like that. And then there are the nights where there are no dinner plans, and [...]

speaking of strawberries… have you had strawberry beer?

On June 6, 2011 · 4 Comments · In yummy

Before I left for my two back-to-back weekend trips to New Orleans in April, my friend CM told me to be on the lookout for Strawberry Beer. She asked me to keep my eyes peeled, drink it whenever I got the chance, and to trick USPS to turn their head and ship some back [...]

My favorite summertime activity growing up was checking the progress of my strawberry plants. I’d go out to the garden, check to see if there were flowers or green berries, and wait oh so patiently for them to ripen up. And once they were ripe, I wouldn’t wait to wash them off in the sink [...]
