This recipe for Asparagus Gratin originates from Cook's Country Magazine, May 2011 issue. What I found fascinating about this recipe: instead of just discarding the woody asparagus ends, it is used to make a flavorful quick broth that will be used to create the...
This is a sponsored review by BlogHer and Kraft. This dish is what I call my "company asparagus" - even though the last time I referred to dinner guests as "company" was in 1979 when my parents had "company" over for dinner - I think it was either my Dad's boss and...
To me, cabbage, beans and potatoes are the best Western comfort food ever (just in case you're curious, at the top of the list of my Asian comfort food are: white rice and ramen). And to have cabbage, beans and potatoes all in one dish that only takes 15 minutes to...
While we were in Mexico for Food Blogger Camp back in February, I got a sneak peek at the photos that my good friends, Todd and Diane of White on Rice Couple shot of Cristina Ferrare's new cookbook. I'm sure you heard of Cristina - she's got a cooking show, "Big Bowl...

Normally, when I make curry dishes, whether Indian or Thai, I start with a shortcut - a ready-made curry spice paste that I can find in most grocery stores. But making the curry spice paste from scratch is just as easy, tastes infinitely fresher and the flavors of the...

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...

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...
I developed this recipe for McCormick spice company several years ago. We flew to Baltimore, Maryland to test out the recipe with their team, and this Smoky Sweet Spicy Wings was a winner, featuring chipotle and cinnamon spices. A lot of recipe developers and chef...
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...
