Upon my return from the Orange County Fair last month, it seemed only fitting to share this great recipe. Pork and bacon were the super stand out ingredients at the fair this summer. I didn’t realize just how easy pulled pork was to make until I broke down and tried it one day. When I owned Frosting Bake Shop in Mill Valley, [...]

I’m not gona lie, I partied pretty hard back in the day. (Don’t worry my kids never read my blog, way beneath them) The summer of 1985 was somehow the pinnacle. That was the summer to end all summers. In fact, in the fall I moved to New York City and my life as I knew it [...]

Can I tell you that I love all shell-fish. Quiche is a cherished dinner at our home, so when it comes summer time I bring on the crab! Oh this is a flawless recipe. You can take the easy route with a pre-made crust. Feeling adventurous, then make my savory pie crust with dill and thyme to enhance [...]

A wonderful cold weather hearty soup made with sweet Italian sausage. I use cheese filled spinach tortellini but you can use plain tortellini if you choose to. I [...]

Certainly by now you realize my fascination with food trucks. What is so alluring about trucks serving food you might be asking. In my mind the price of $7 to $12 for a handsome meal is a tremendous bargain. Not just any truck or ordinary food, no sir, something unusual and tasty. So you can [...]

Recently I was house sitting for my cousin in Washington DC. I was inspired to create this provocative meal from a photo my sister in-law sent. Great idea for portion control. The big decision I had to make was whether to go for a more bread-like base or a true meaty base. Being the carnivore that I am, I went [...]
