Spinach Dip
To me (and I apologize in advance), Super Bowl Sunday means scrumptious bits and funny commercials. Our menu today consists of my BFF’s chili recipe, nachos, chicken wings and spinach dip. I’ll post the most important recipe, the chili once I have clearance from my BFF. In the meantime, here’s the spinach dip recipe. Go…

Green Bean Casserole – another Thanksgiving staple
Casseroles seemed so nasty as a kid. It was a hodgepodge of veggies and some meat mixed with cream of something soup and then baked. But that actually sounds delicious. It is an easy one-pot meal that was a staple growing up. I’m not sure who thought up the green bean casserole as a side…

What underground dives inspire
There used to be a set of Asian food stalls underground on Kearny St. many, many years ago. You know, the kind with a central dining area and a bunch of 10 x 10 stalls bordering it? The tables were wobbly and often sticky but the food was great. It might still be there. I…

Mondays with the munchkin
Mondays are my favorite days because it’s the one day I get one-on-one time with my little munchkin.

My sister has graciously let me plant some of my favorites in her veggie garden: tomatoes, squashes, peppers and eggplants. She’s since kept up the watering and tending. And now the veggies are going bonkers. Each visit, I…

Summer’s bounty as a Mediterranean and quinoa salad
The other night was a warm one (I know, it’s Summer and it’s supposed to be warm). Well in our little hometown, we’re usually blanketed in coastal fog June through August which makes it super chilly and wet. So given the rarity (and desire not to “cook”), our family celebrated the Summer’s bounty with a…

I’m back and with fried food
I took some time off to unplug and enjoy friends and family and the river and woods. In fact, there really was no signal. Even though I planned to bring back some photos of the scrumptious bits consumed during our camping trip, I never pulled out my phone. And therefore never took any pictures. I’ll…
