I always laugh thinking that a few short years ago I did not like fish….at all. Although, the funny thing really is that there are actually a lot of foods (and I mean a LOT of food) that I didn’t like growing up. Most of the food I didn’t like…was because I didn’t like them. …

I have always had an affinity for bagels! I remember getting these amazing bagels just down the street from me when I first moved to Los Angeles. Those bagels were huge…about the size of my head. I would get them with Jalapeños and Cheese on top. Sooo good! It was at that point that I…

Tiny Kitchen Cocktail Month:The Manhattan!
“I’ll have a Manhattan, please.” Just saying it sounds so sophisticated. Perhaps because it is one of those classic cocktails that has been around forever…so, it definitely has clout.

Tiny Kitchen Cocktail Month:Mixing up a Moscow Mule!
As it’s described, the Moscow Mule is the drink with a velvet kick! That says it all!

The…

Valentine’s DayMini Ice Cream Love Pies
Love or hate Valentine’s Day, the way I see it, it is a good excuse to make a great meal for someone you care about. Notice I said, “make a great meal.” I didn’t say, “drop a chunk of change on a pre-set or limited Valentine’s Day menu at your local fancy restaurant.” That’s right!…
Cornbread
As I begin writing this blog post, the first thing that pops into my head is Alan Jackson’s song, “Where I Come From.” That song is ever emblazoned on my mind. Several years ago, I was taking a cross-country road trip with a friend and it became the anthem for our drive, with such classic…
Classic French Mussels
Mussels have a sweet spot in my heart. From the first time I had them in Paris with my buddy Kross, I was not prepared for my lifelong love of these humble bivalve mollusks. The funny thing is that I had them by happenstance when I was in France. I was traveling there after my…
