After you bite into one of these mouthwatering Cheddar Chive Waffle Sandwiches, you’ll never look at waffles the same again! This post has been sponsored by Krusteaz, however all opinions are 100% my own. If it were up to me, breakfast foods would be served twice a day: in the morning during breakfast and in the evening…

Quick and Easy Indian Spiced Dinner
Making dinner every night can become extremely repetitive. When you have kids and are dealing with homework, sports, bath time, etc, by the end of the night our goal is to simply get food on the table. I reserve the elaborate cooking for the weekends. The nice thing about simple meals, such as ground beef…
Enchiladas Healthified
Between the holidays and tailgating parties, many calories will be consumed. In an effort to not gain 5,000 pounds, I try to keep weeknight meals light and easy. These enchiladas are one of my favorite meals. I combine cooked chicken with Sabra Creamy Greek Yogurt Dip and some cheese. This keeps the inside of the…
Savory Olive Rosemary Scones
This post is sponsored by California Ripe Olives. I love how versatile olives are. They are wonderful in salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, tapenades, and on their own. Speaking of on their own, do you remember when you were a kid and had olive fingers? I remember I used to eat almost a can of olives,…
Sweet Potato and Pecan Dinner Rolls
A few weeks ago I was asked to review Rick Rodger’s new cookbook, The Big Book of Sides. Seeing as how he is an award winning author, I knew it would be good. With more than 450 recipes, there is really something for everyone. This book could not have come out at a better time….

Absolutely Avocados Giveaway!
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a luncheon celebrating Gaby Dalkin’s new cook book Absolutely Avocados, and as a parting gift she gave us the book and a bag of delicious California avocados. I love avocados and eat them all year long. I will gladly pick guacamole and chips over a dessert…
Walnut Kale Basil Pesto
A few weeks ago, the California Farm Water Coalition contacted me to see if I wanted to create a recipe with walnuts for Walnut Day. I immediately knew what I wanted to make… Pesto is one of my favorite items in the fridge. It can go on anything from eggs in the morning to a…
Mexican Street Tacos- Carnitas!
Carnitas-Mexican street tacos. Juicy, succulent, bursting with flavor, slow oven roasted pork shoulder adorned with sweet white onion and fresh cilantro. Perfection. I really don’t know what is wrong with me, because up until yesterday, I have never actually made carnitas. Now, I just want to stuff my face in the pan and eat them…
Chicken Verde Tacos
Mexican food was one of the things I missed most while living in Switzerland. There was one Mexican Cantina in town, but is served Taco Bell style food and cost an arm and a leg. Despite moving back to San Diego and having the best Mexican food the US has to offer, I decided…
Chive Cheddar Honey Biscuits
I am proud to report that Easter was a success! If you remember from this post, I was really nervous about cooking for 45 people. I had never cooked an entire meal, with so many different elements, for so many people. Not just any people…people with extremely high expectations. Well, I had to serve them…

Everywhere you look in Europe there are Turkish Kabob Shops, seriously a dime a dozen. Turkish Kabobs are very similar to Greek…
