Here we are in mid-September, and I’m looking forward to all the flavors of fall that I enjoy each and every year. As I was doing my grocery shopping the other day, and making my way around the produce department, I noticed containers of pre-cut butternut squash. I immediately thought about using that squash in…

B(acon) A(rugula) (T)omato Tartine
Thursday nights always consist of a very light dinner at our house because Dennis is off to play at his softball games, Kylie is usually at school studying and I don’t feel like cooking a big meal for just one. Tonight being Thursday, I decided I’d make a tartine, which is an open faced…
Ground Pork Noodle Bowl
This Asian inspired noodle dish packs a great flavor. Recently, while paging through a magazine – or maybe it was spotting a magazine while walking past the magazine racks at a book store, I noticed a picture of a ground pork noodle bowl. That sounded so good to me, I decided to make my version…
Pasta with Ground Turkey, Carrot and Fennel
Are you looking for a pasta dinner that’s packed with flavor? This dish may be just the pasta for you if you like a lot of flavor and a pasta dish that packs a punch. I did add a good amount of red pepper flakes, which really added to the taste of the meat mixture….
Rump Roast
Winter is the perfect season for cooking a roast. We’ve been having quite the chilly and rainy weather in San Diego this week, so decided it would be the perfect day to cook a rump roast. As luck would have it, the sun was actually shining for most of the day, but that’s OK ……
Caprese Chicken Breasts

Smoked Paprika, Marinated Artichoke Heart, Sun-dried Tomato and Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage Spaghetti
Last night’s dinner comes to you purely out of a mishap at the stove. When I set out to cook dinner yesterday, I actually wasn’t even planning on blogging it, but after my “error”, after gasping and thinking “oh my goodness, how am I going to fix this?”, I thought to myself “if this recipe…
Grilled Havarti, Green Chile and Apple Sandwich
Wondering what to make for lunch today, I decided on a grilled Havarti sandwich. To the Havarti, I chose to add diced green chiles and a quarter of a sliced apple. I love to add an apple to my sandwich … something about that added crunch just does it for me. The diced green chiles…
Summer Salad
It’s been beautiful in San Diego this week, even a little on the warm side if you are inland a bit. Since it’s been so nice and sunny (what happened to “June Gloom” this year?), I was craving a salad for dinner. I knew I wanted roasted chicken in my salad and fresh strawberries. I…
Mediterranean Bowtie Pasta Dish
How about a pasta dish that’s sauce comes from nothing more than the liquid of a jar of pitted Kalamata olives and a jar of marinated artichoke hearts? That and 2 tablespoons of olive oil was all I used to make the sauce for this scrumptious bowtie pasta dish. Once my grape and mini heirloom…
