I came across this recipe this morning and thought I would share it again. It’s such a beautiful salad and so very tasty. I was thinking about another salad to make when this one popped up. I hope you don’t mind me sharing it again! This recipe was actually posted last October, it seems like…

I love when my house is filled with people, having friends and family over for a meal feeds my soul. There is nothing I enjoy more than preparing for a dinner party, a holiday dinner, or a book club meeting when it's my turn to host ... If I could, I would own a Bed and Breakfast! This would ensure I'd always have someone to prepare a meal for. Being with others and sharing my table is what I look forward to most. I was born in Wisconsin and after I got married in 1987, my husband and I moved west for his job. He had just graduated college and we were married a couple months later. An interesting tidbit about me is that I never cooked a meal before I got married. I taught myself how to cook and found that I really enjoyed it. One of the first meals I made after we were married was a shrimp pasta dish. I made this for myself when my husband was on business travel and I had so much fun inventing this meal - this was the start of my love of cooking. My favorite celebrity chefs are Ina Garten and The Pioneer Woman. I hope you enjoy my blog!
Slow-Roasted Spiced Pork Tacos
Saturday night I hosted our dinner club and made Ina Garten’s Slow-Roasted Spiced Pork. Everyone that was at our house that night thought this pork would be fabulous served in tacos. Since I had so much meat left over, that’s exactly what I decided to do tonight. My good friend, Karin, who’s in our dinner…
Smoked Andouille Chicken Sausage and Jalapeño Cornbread Bake
There were a couple packages of Jiffy corn muffin mix in my pantry, as well as a package of Smoked Andouille Chicken sausages in my freezer. I decided to come up with a “casserole” that would incorporate both of these items last night for dinner. Jalapeños sounded like a good addition to this dish, along…
Baked Ricotta with Fresh Herbs
Last night was our turn to host our Dinner Club. The Del Mar Dinner Club (as we call ourselves). Dennis and I look forward to getting together with our dinner club each time we meet. We gather quarterly, so each couple hosts one time a year. One of the appetizers I decided to make for…
Grilled Cheese with Heirloom Tomatoes
Some nights you want to make something simple for dinner that doesn’t take much thought. Tonight was that night for me … however, I did put thought into it – I’d planned on making grilled cheese since Saturday when I did my grocery shopping. I wanted my grilled cheese to have a Pecorino/Romano crust on…

Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Kylie had asked if I could make a roast this week. She said “Mom, can you make that meat that you make in the slow cooker … the one that you add an entire bottle of wine to?” “Why, yes, of course, I can!” It’s not often that Kylie has a request for something she’d…
Pumpkin Spice Chip and White Chocolate Chip Cookies
On Thursday I wanted to make cookies for Dennis’ softball team and also for my good friend, Pam, and her family. Dennis had a late game and I thought the guys may want a little treat after they were done playing. Pam was taking a road trip on Friday to move her son to Santa…
Sun-Dried Tomato, Bacon, Jalapeño and Sunflower Nut Waffles
Everyone’s heard of chicken and waffles, right? I decided to make a savory waffle for dinner and decided I’d add my savory flavors to the waffle mix. Dennis had to eat very simple and plain today, so I knew I’d be making pancakes or waffles for him and Kylie, but wanted something a little jazzed…
Gruyère, Ground Pork and Jalapeño Flat Breads
I had a package of flat breads in my refrigerator that I wanted to use, and also some left over ground pork that I also wanted to use. I decided I’d pull it together on a flat bread, using olive oil, gruyere cheese and jalapeños. I’m really glad I did … it was delicious and…
