Mediterranean Swordfish
I love to travel. And while I enjoy seeing the sights, my perfect trip involves mixing in with the locals. That’s when I feel like I’m truly experiencing the culture. Part of mixing in with the locals, for me, is enjoying the foods that are unique to the place I’m visiting. I’m always fascinated by…
Mmm… Mojito…
Even though Summer doesn’t technically arrive in the US until June 21, I have always equated the beginning of summer with the Memorial Day weekend. Ironically, I say this, but as I look outside this morning, it is overcast and cool here in L.A. No worries, though, Summer will be here before long and it’s…
Homemade Taco Seasoning
I used to always buy Taco Seasoning until I realized I had everything I needed to whip up a super-tasty taco seasoning. It’s so much fresher and less expensive than the packets…plus, you can adjust the seasoning and heat to your personal tastes. Make a little extra and store it in an airtight container so…
Margarita!
There is no denying, I love Margaritas! Definitely, my drink of choice…although, I’ve been craving a good ice-cold IPA lately. I digress. I was never a big drinker. I didn’t even drink in college before I was 21. Yep, I was the perpetual “Designated Driver” (or as we called them down South, “Sober Driver”). I…

Balsamic Chicken Walnut Salad
I discovered this Balsamic Chicken Walnut Salad several years ago at little grocery store, El Rancho Market, in Solvang, California…just a hop, skip and a jump away from Santa Ynez (the greatest place on Earth IMHO). I loved it so much that my girlfriend called them to get me a shipment of it for my…
Back to Basics Tomato Sauce
I always like getting back to the basics…back to when life was simple and easy. That’s precisely what this recipe is…simple and easy. The hardest part will be to figure out in which dishes you’re gonna use this sauce first. It’s perfect when you need a quick sauce or a sauce to use with other…
Spaghetti alle Vongole (Spaghetti with Clams)
If there is a meal that I seem to always be craving, it is this unlikely number. I am definitely not alone on that. I was perusing through my email the other day and came across an email with the subject line: “Fucci’s Famous Linguini and Clams at Heather’s.” If this is not testimony enough,…
Mama Fucci’s Homemade Pizza Dough
This pizza dough recipe is just how mom used to make it! And there’s no denying that her pizza nights were always a favorite in my family. Just ask my sister, Barb, who would ask for Mom’s homemade pizza every single birthday…not to mention 364 other days of the year. Thanks sis! This pizza dough…
