In the nearly 7 years since we moved to Tucson, I’ve been searching far and wide for the perfect salsa recipe. I don’t know if I’ve found it yet, but this one has come pretty close to replicating the salsa of one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in town – Rosa’s. This is a great…

Roasted Olives… and a new CSA!
Last weekend I signed us up for a new CSA – one that will ultimately be closer to our new home. This CSA is through Sleeping Frog Farms, and so far our first pick-up has been successful! They have sign-ups quarterly, so right now we just started the “Winter” quarter. Although we just did our…
Butternut Squash Bisque
Yipee! I have another successful soup recipe under my belt! I’m not a huge soup person – it’s never something I get cravings for. But I’m starting to think that maybe I just really like smooth, blended soups. I loved my Chioggia Beet Borscht, and now I love this Butternut Squash Bisque. I had two…
Green Tart!
So, who wants spinach and fennel fronds for dinner? What, no takers? Spinach and fennel fronds don’t sound like dinner to you? Come on… it’s better than you think. Veggies are good for us! Especially those green ones – at least, that’s what I’m hearing these days 🙂 So as everyone is probably now painfully…
Grilled Beef with Broccoli Slaw Salad
Yay! It’s now 2012! Can you believe it? I sure can’t. 2011 went by in a crazy blur, and now it’s 2012. Here’s to a happy and healthy new year!!! Kirk and I rang in 2012 with homemade lasagna, tiramisu, and reruns of The Big Bang Theory. It may not sound exciting to you, but…
Out of the flames of disaster… Cherry Almond Granola
(Please Note: This entry will eventually get to Cherry Almond Granola… the title of the entry is not a misnomer). This weekend the results of several recipe tests were somewhat unsuccessful (largely due to my own mistakes – there was nothing inherently flawed in the recipes I was trying). Friday night Kirk and I got…
Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers
A couple of nights ago I was stumped – – – what the heck should I make for dinner? This is the perennial question that I seem to face at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes I get adventurous and try something new (and sometimes it works out… sometimes it doesn’t…), and other…
Basil Goat Cheese Quinoa
Kirk has been sick for the last few days, so last night (Saturday) I decided to make a feast for us in the hopes that it might lift his spirits. While at Trader Joe’s yesterday, we spotted a small (2lb) pork roast. I immediately felt inspired to try Giada De Laurentiis’ Pancetta Wrapped Pork Roast,…
