Can you believe it’s already back to school time? This summer flew by for us, jam packed with camps and time with friends and family. Those carefree days and late nights for the little ones have come to an end. And as their minds drift back to the classroom, I’m looking forward to actually being able to get something done start

Mango & Shrimp Lettuce Tacos
July 25, 2019
We’re in week two of mango heaven! While no small part of me wanted to do three straight weeks of desserts for this mango mini-series, I decided to dive into the savory side with these shrimp and mango “tacos.” (Don’t fret, I’ve got a mango treat in store for next week!) In lieu of traditional tortillas, using lettuce wraps -
Cucumber Buttermilk Soup
July 10, 2019
Creamy yet light. Cold and refreshing. This one’s inspired by my mother-in-law who was just over for a visit and LOVES cold soup on a hot summer’s day. Hey, and green is one of her favorite colors!

Some of the most “out there” versions that I’ve done are an Asian style with miso -
Betty’s Three Bean Salad
May 16, 2019
Ever since I can remember, family members have been making three bean salads for get-togethers and outings. Perfect for potlucks and picnics, or to have on hand when company comes to stay, they actually get better the longer they marinate, making them the ultimate do-ahead dish. While I named this recipe for my Grandmother, as I have -
Peach & Chipotle Guacamole
May 2, 2019
Guacamole is the quintessential party appetizer, and I’ve got a delicious version for your next fiesta. With only a handful of ingredients, you can be munching on homemade guac within 5 or 10 minutes. First, a little backstory. 15 years ago I did a cooking immersion in Oaxaca, Mexico. We focused on traditional recipes and
