It’s a weekend night. It has been a doozy of a week and I crash through the door with the intention of dinner in an hour. The catch is there is not a bone in my body really rendering its services for the task. Do we head out in what is the second storm to… Continue reading Creamy Mint Pesto Quinoa Noodles

Blackberry Sage Glazed Meatballs
The lovely folks at Driscoll’s sent over some blackberries for me to play with in my kitchen.

In my mind, it seemed to be something only adults really could appreciate like Nick at Night. The three women in my life growing up sure know… Continue reading Leek Goat Cheese Quiche
Open-Faced Stuffed Poblano Peppers

The other is more casual, connotes opportunity and potential for future meetings. If 2010 seemed to be the year of big changes, then 2011 is merely riding out the coat… Continue reading Open-Faced Stuffed Poblano Peppers
