Pomegranate Season means Holy Guacamole
Some friends were in town last week and we hit a local Mexican restaurant for dinner. The food is amazing and the chef greets you like you are a guest at his dinner party. He brings the special table side to view and he describes the food so emotionally, it is always hard to decide…
Ice Cream Sundae with a Chile on Top
The Organic Aji Cereza chilies were my inspiration for the A Chile & A Spoon Challenge that Marx Food is sponsoring. I loved that it looked like a cherry, I knew an ice cream sundae was in order. The challenge, use at least one chile from the chile sampler in a dish that can be…
Thanksgiving Snack Mix
The holidays and Chex mix are a perfect match. Though when isn’t a good time for Chex mix. I love this combo and your house is sure to smell like Thanksgiving when you cook it up in the oven too. Pumpkin Pie Chex Mix Author: Snack Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 60 mins Total…
A Chile & A Spoon Challenge
I am always up for a challenge and a chance for working with new ingredients. Especially will the lure of some delicious prices. Marx Foods is sponsoring a blogger recipe challenge, A Chile & A Spoon and I got picked to participate. Yippee! I got my chile sampler and instructions in the mail and I…

It was a great celebration, well minus the fact my dad got stuck in the hospital awaiting the removal of his gallbladder. Delicious food, fun stories, all around good cheer. It is always a good time to…
Makhani Murgh Conquered!
I’d say I conquered the first Indian recipe attempt, even the kids liked it! Forgive the crappy picture, but you get the gist. I served the butter chicken with some spinach left from our final CSA bag from the farmer and store bought naan bread. In the end it was not as intimidating as I…
Spicing up the Kitchen
With the tandoori chicken ready, the next step in my quest to conquer Indian cooking is the garam masala. This roasted spice mix is in a lot of the recipes I have been looking to try. Everything I read says it is worth making it instead of buying it. I always welcome a trip to…
Cooking Up Something New
I have a recent obsession with Indian food. I know next to nothing about Indian food so I asked my friend to show me the ropes at the lunch buffet at India House. It was a perfect way to sample lots of different dishes and learn what I like. I was surprised by the flavors,…
