There is something that just sounds cool about making your own wine or brewing your own beer. Aside from it sounding cool, it can actually taste pretty good too. With both of those endeavors, though, you have to get some extra equipment and it can end up being a rather costly affair…and, sadly, sometimes the…

Tiny Kitchen Caesar Dressing
A great Caesar salad lives or dies by the dressing… and I say that as someone who spent years ordering Caesar salads at restaurants specifically to reverse-engineer what was going on in that bowl. The store-bought versions? They’re fine. They’re just not that. This dressing — my Tiny Kitchen Caesar Dressing — is creamy, zesty,…
Kansas City BBQ Dry Rub
If you’ve made my Instant Pot Brisket, you already know this rub. It’s the reason that brisket tastes the way it does — sweet, smoky, with just enough heat to keep things interesting. I’ve been using this Kansas City-style BBQ dry rub for years and I put it on everything: brisket, ribs, chicken thighs, even…
Christmas Day Egg Soufflé
Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. That pretty much sums up my holidays. Every year, I say I’m going to get everything done in advance, so that the days leading up to Christmas can just be filled with one (or more than one) of those cheesy Christmas movies that is my guilty pleasure. It’s crazy how…
Kabobs!
We’ve been having a bit of a heatwave here in Los Angeles. This past week, we’ve been seeing temperatures over 100°F. I’ve been threatening to head back to Atlanta for some reprieve, but it’s been over 90°F there and then there’s the humidity. All that to say, after a cool start to the Summer, Summer…
Homemade Honey White Balsamic Vinaigrette
When I have a really good salad dressing, I can’t get enough! It almost becomes an obsession…I seem to want it on every salad that I have for weeks on end. That was the reaction when I first started developing this amazing Honey White Balsamic Vinaigrette. Truth be told, it went through a few iterations…
Homemade Sesame Ginger Salad DressingA Great Asian-inspired Salad Dressing
This homemade Sesame Ginger salad dressing is the bomb! I absolutely love this Asian-style dressing. It all stems back to when I used to work at a restaurant called Stanley’s my first year in Los Angeles. It was a local’s joint just down the street the from where I used to live in Sherman Oaks….
Homemade Avocado Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
When I was a kid, I loved store-bought salad dressings and, admittedly, I was a bit of a dressing snob. Wish-Bone was the only brand I liked…Italian, Thousand Island and those two sugary red dressings, French and Russian, that I could never really figure out the difference. Thinking about it, they don’t really seem French…
Homemade Shallot Vinaigrette
Is it wrong that I consider myself a Salad Dressing Connoisseur? I know, it’s probably weird to be a self-proclaimed expert on Salad Dressing of all things. But, I don’t know if you’ve heard, my salad dressings are kinda a big deal. Haha! I’m totally kidding but, in all honesty, when people try them, I…

Of course, Easter candy in a big Easter basket has always been a favorite of mine! But if you’re following a Keto diet, unfortunately, most of the…

Valentine’s DayMini Ice Cream Love Pies
Love or hate Valentine’s Day, the way I see it, it is a good excuse to make a great meal for someone you care about. Notice I said, “make a great meal.” I didn’t say, “drop a chunk of change on a pre-set or limited Valentine’s Day menu at your local fancy restaurant.” That’s right!…
