Grilled Shishito Peppers with Miso Vinaigrette recipe over at my column on Discovery Health
This weekend was unusually hot, which for 99.5% of the population is a good thing. But I just spent an undisclosed sum of money on clothing, shoes and accessories to keep my booty warm for my trip to NYC, and I'm just not quite done with justifying my purchases just...
Some of my most peaceful moments in my life was when I lived in San Francisco. I had a four-level rickety home that was built in 1929, and as you walked along the floors, the creak of each wooden plank reminded you it was built in 1929. My boyfriend at the time and I...
Earlier this month when the handsome Gnome treated me and my girlfriend to a hot date to NYC, he brought us to David Burke's Fishtail restaurant for dinner [by the way, during NYC restaurant week at select restaurants, you can get lunch for $24.07 and dinner for $35...

Super Bowl XLV might as well be renamed "Wing Bowl XLV" given that we consume 1 BILLION chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday! It's definitely on the menu at my house, though instead of the normal deep fried wings, we'll probably marinate and throw them on the grill. I'm...

Just to set the record straight, this is a breakfast item, not dessert, though it certainly could qualify for an after meal treat. On a trip down to Marco Island in my home state of Florida, we had a similar breakfast (though made with steel-cut oats and real custard...
My favorite shortcut dinner is Thai Curry, which I call my fast food at home. 10 Minutes is all it takes for me to get this from refrigerator to table. This is an easy recipe to customize -- any sort of sliced vegetables will work here, from sliced zucchini,...
I honestly had trouble naming this dish. Peas and Bacon? Or Bacon and Peas? In the marketing world, I guess you'd have to consider the target market. In my case, it was our family friend, Shawn, who is a true carnivore. 99.6% of his dinner plate is meat. The remaining...
It's high tomato and basil season here (I know, insert a groan from those suffering in 16F weather) and with a massive pile of leftover turkey from Christmas dinner, it's Turkey Caprese for dinner tonight. The dish is dead simple and I can't think of a better way to...
I just have to put it out there that if I'm going to spend the calories on a dessert, it should satisfy not only my sweet (and salty) tooth, but also take care of my boozy tooth too. Specifically, desserts that include some sort of dunking, spritzing or drizzling of...
