Vanilla and Dulce de Leche (Cajeta) Macarons For the Mac-April (Mac Attack 6) challenge, our macarons were to be influenced by an April holiday. This month many schools observed Spring break. During my childhood it was called Easter break. Even though I don’t necessarily have a Spring or Easter break to look forward to [...]

Salsa!

17 comments

Salsa! No canned or jar salsa here! Once you’ve made fresh salsa, you’ll wonder why you ever store-bought this easy condiment. Salsa can be very versatile and ingredients like cilantro (also known as coriander leaves and Chinese parsley) should not be a deal breaker in making your own fresh batch.

I picked up a rather generous bag at Costco a couple of weeks ago and knew I could find something creative to do with some of these pears before they turned bad. The Red Anjou Pears (or Beurré d’Anjou) has a deep red [...]

March 20th is Le Jour Du Macaron or The Day of the Macaron. This is my first month as part of the MacTweets Group and the theme is “Spring”. The awakening of my deciduous trees, flowers, hummingbirds, yellow and lemons scream Springtime, so my first attempt at macarons (since the Daring Baker’s Challenge back in October 2009) [...]

Stuffed Poblanos

I was thumbing through the newer Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast (from the Kitchens of Martha Stewart Living), while in Costco last week, like I really need yet another cookbook, and was pleasantly surprised of the recipes in this book.

Scrambled Eggs Medley

5 comments

I didn’t know what to call this egg dish because it’s something I’ve been whipping up for years without a name. I usually make plenty so that there’s leftovers and it’s great warmed up. Serving suggestions: Sprinkle some grated colby jack cheese on it…or even better, use cotija cheese. Serve with fresh homemade salsa for a [...]
