Avocado and Egg
Happy Saturday morning all! Today, Dennis, Kylie and I are headed to the San Diego Wild Animal Park for the day. The company Dennis works for has a special day at the park for the employees and family members. Last year, it was held at the San Diego Zoo. I wanted to make a quick…
Dinner by Kylie
Last week, Kylie said to me “Mom, I want to start making dinner for you and Dad once a month.” Excellent! I thought. It will be great for her to learn to cook and it’s nice that she has the desire to do just that. Kylie will be starting college in the fall. When I was…
Mexican Stuffed Baked Potatoes
I’ve been wanting to make “stuffed” baked potatoes for a while. It was cloudy and chilly in San Diego yesterday and it rained all through the night. The rainy weather called for comfort food. It is Tuesday, and I wanted to make a “Taco Tuesday” dinner, but decided to make my tacos in a baked…
Pizza Dough Garlic Bread
I was planning on making a simple pasta dish for dinner, something quick and easy … I used spaghetti noodles, dressed in nothing more than a couple tablespoons of olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh basil and fresh garlic.

Chicken Tostadas Marinated in Cilantro Dressing

Two Hour Chicken Bake
I was browsing the internet the other day and a recipe popped up for a “no peek chicken” that bakes for two and a half hours. It reminded me of a chicken dish that my mom used to make when I was growing up. This made me nostalgic to have this meal again, so decided to…
Tri-Tip Roast Stuffed with Garlic Cloves and Coated in Dijon, Thyme and Rosemary
On Thursday I received a message from a Jenni, a friend from high school. Jenni was the nicest, kindest, and most genuine of people. She was liked by everyone! Jenni was looking for a way to make a sirloin tip roast, but without using oregano. Her husband is not a big fan of oregano and…
Cranberry, Date and Lemon Chicken in White Wine and Dijon
Last night was a fun night I’ll remember for a long time. My dear friend, Ethel, had a birthday during the week of Thanksgiving. I wanted to throw a dinner party in her honor to celebrate her wonderful self. Ethel is the kindest, sweetest, and most giving friend a woman could hope for. She would…
