I love a great steak! Truth be told, though, for most of my adult life, I have not been making a great steak. I tried. Many different ways. It definitely wasn’t for lack of trying. I tried many different seasonings, many different cuts of meat, many different ways of cooking it, and the only thing…

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…
Hot Chocolate Spoons
Every year, one song sort of emerges as my Official Song for Christmas. Last year, it was “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” The year before that was the Jars of Clay version of “Little Drummer Boy.” “Little Drummer Boy” was never one of my favorites growing up until I heard their version. Incredible…you’ve got to check…
Chick-fil-A Inspired Orange Chicken(🐄 aka ‘Orange Chikin’ 🐄)
I have always been a huge Chick-fil-A fan! From the time I was a kid growing up in Houston, I used to love to go to the mall because Chick-fil-A would pass out samples of their amazing, perfectly crispy chicken. It was deliciously different! My folks and I would, of course, grab a sample on…

School days, school days. Good ol’ golden rule days! It’s that time of year again, kids, whether you like it or not. My niece and nephew actually went back to school yesterday. Boy, they start school early here in Georgia!!! With the start of the school year comes a frantic rush in the morning to…
Sourdough Grilled Chicken Sandwich: : The Perfect Grilling Sandwich : :
Grilled Chicken Breast. In theory, it sounds really good…especially when I am trying to eat a little healthier or I want an alternative to a hamburger. However, when I’m out, so oftentimes I find myself disappointed by a grilled chicken breast. It is usually for one of two reasons…or in the worst-case scenario, two of…
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…
Chinese Chicken Salad
I am in love with this Chinese Chicken Salad. That was true the first time I had my first bite of my first Chinese Chicken Salad when I began waiting tables at Stanley’s Restaurant in Sherman Oaks. If you read my blog for the Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette, you know that the Chinese Chicken Salad that…

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…
