On Tuesday morning I was feeling particularly stressed out about all of the things I needed to accomplish this week. It’s been such a long week. I’m still behind on some freelance projects I’ve got going on. In the midst of all of this work stuff, I managed to completely forgot it was my son’s […]
Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Shrimp Gyros with Rosemary Tzatziki Sauce
My family often requests chicken gyros for dinner. It’s totally a family favorite. My oldest daughter loves those gyros and has ever since she was a year old. Tzatziki sauce is her favorite condiment. Her other love is shrimp. So this recipe is for her–three of her very favorite things in one–Rosemary and Roasted Garlic […]
Herbed Goat Cheese Tart with Cherry Tomato Compote and Pieography: Where Pie Meets Biography Review
Happy Pi Day! Celebrate with this tasty Herbed Goat Cheese Tart! I think this is the first year I have actually made a pie (tart) for 3.14. I was reminded last night when I popped into the grocery store for a few things for dinner and saw a stack of pies by the automatic doors. […]
Grilled Lamb Patties and 14 Hands Wine
I enjoy the flavor wine imparts in my cooking, so I was happy to team up with 14 Hands Winery to do some summer grilling. They sent me some bottles of wine for me to experiment with. We’ve purchased 14 Hands for cooking before, and we’ve always been very satisfied with the results. I was very […]
Roasted Tomato Salsa
I love me some salsa. And I really love me some of this salsa. I’ve already made it twice in one week. The chips are optional, by the way. A spoonful (or ten) will hit the spot. I had some grocery store tomatoes ripening on my counter. (I know, I know, I know. Grocery store […]
Salmon Nicoise Salad with Carrot and Yogurt Sauce
I was at Whole Foods in Downtown Salt Lake City last week, and guess what I saw? A big ol’ sign announcing they had Copper River Salmon. They had a big, beautiful fillet in the case that the guy at the counter told me it go very quickly. I told him I already had some […]
Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki
In June of 2006, right after my son was born, my dear friend Jenni brought us Chicken Gyros for dinner. WHOA. They were so good. I begged her for the recipe. Ever since that day, we have been making these regularly. The marinade is nothing more than some fresh herbs, sliced onion, olive oil, lemon […]
Happy St. Paddy’s!
(image via marthastewart.com) I dropped the ball this year. Last month I was going to try corning a beef brisket myself. The process takes a few weeks. (You can look here, or here for ideas in case you are interested.) So, I’m doing our corned beef in the slow-cooker, which is a great way to […]
Buttermilk Syrup
My mom’s friend, Carolyn, gave her this recipe for Buttermilk Syrup. It is hands-down the best syrup I have ever tasted in my life! Everyone who tastes it becomes instantly enamored with it. I don’t know if it’s the tang of the buttermilk that does it, or if it’s the combination of everything together, but […]
