I was looking for ways to use my bumper crop of hot peppers and am thrilled! We have made candied bacon with it, used it on ham sandwiches, drizzled it on roasted corn with butter and like juice, basted it on grilled pork, and created some amazing cocktails. I forgot that it is the bomb on cornbread too! Easy and so versatile. Truly kicks up the game in our cuisine!!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Sonoma chicken salad

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ If you ask me Sonoma chicken salad is one of the great lunch recipes of all time. If you've had this salad you know how amazing it is, and if you're not familiar with it yet...I'll get you caught up with the rest of us. Sonoma Chicken Salad Serve it up in a big bowl, between thick slices of brioche bread, or loaded up in a split croissant ~ either way it's the best 3 kinds of crunch ~ a juicy crunch from the apples and grapes, a nutty crunch from the toasted pecans, and a crisp...

Homemade Kefir The name kefir originates from the Slavic keif, meaning โ€˜well-beingโ€™ or โ€˜living wellโ€™ | Pronounced kuh-FEAR Homemade kefir is smooth, tangy, and packed with feel-good probiotics. All you need is 2 ingredients and a jar, and it's a nice change from yogurt (with even more probiotics!) It's been a helpful next step on my personal journey to better eating and making my calories count. I...
