The winter season is coming upon us. Maybe in Southern California not so much. But that doesn’t stop us from enjoying soups and stews which taste especially great right now. Since one of my favorite dishes is chili, let’s be a little non-traditional and make some Pumpkin-Butternut Squash Chili. Pumpkin-Butternut […]
Before I get into how to make my Pastrami Scramble, I have to give you a small lead-in to where this recipe came from. I love a good New York Style Pastrami sandwich. I’ve had great ones from Katz’s Deli and the Carnegie Deli in New York to Canter’s and […]
Just another hot day on my COVID-19 watch. T.G.I.S. (Thank God It’s Someday!) I don’t know about you, but I always have extra tortillas sitting in my pantry. I have done my wraps, tacos, enchiladas. What about pizza? Making pizza from tortillas? Quick and easy. No dough to deal with. A perfect, […]
Just another day on my COVID-19 watch. T.G.I.S. (Thank God It’s Someday!) Back in the old days when I was first introduced to cauliflower, I can say that I was not impressed with this vegetable. In fact, it was downright awful! I could not get past the smell. Obviously, it was the […]
Just another day on my COVID-19 watch. T.G.I.S. (Thank God It’s Someday!) If you are looking for a simple meal involving a green vegetable and a protein, go for broccoli and beef! All vegetarian, you ask? Substitute some tofu or just add more or different veggies. You want chicken or pork? Make […]

I know, I know…You thought I was just throwing out some unknown word just to hook you into looking at this recipe. Well, yes, that may be true, but I wanted to introduce you to something you may never have known about. I was not aware of nduja until recently […]
If you have ever gone to Hawaii, you know that Loco Moco is a dish that originated there and that it is a burger patty topped with an egg and smothered in brown gravy and served with rice. So what the heck does Chicago have anything to do with this […]
My son Conor is a big fan of chicken nuggets. But how many times do you do a fried-type of nugget and tell yourself, there must be something more! Maybe something a little more healthy and maybe fewer carbs. How about a Jamaican Jerk Chicken Nugget? I always look at […]
Weather is getting colder and I am in the mood for something that is comforting and will warm my heart. Soup is always the first thing that crosses my mind when I am in that kind of mood. I love this recipe, as the smells that fill up the room […]
Hearing so much about the benefits of eating avocados and having them for breakfast, I decided today was the day. I took an individual serving cast iron pot and added a small amount of salsa to the bottom of the pot. I cut the avocado in half; took out the […]
One of my all-time favorite meals is Beef Stroganoff. I always looked forward to Stroganoff night at the Frank Family Dinner Table. Stroganoff just seemed to be the perfect comfort food! It usually meant beef topped off with a flavorful cream sauce over egg noodles. With some tips from a […]
