A crouton is the type of thing that I think most people overlook. I did. Sure, croutons are supposed to add a little crunch to a salad, but in my experience, they’re usually a little stale or soggy, way too garlicky or just taste overly-processed. And so, I think people generally don’t think much about…

Holy Guacamole!
Avocados are a funny thing. They’re kind of like Cilantro in the way that people respond to them. People are either a huge fan or they really can’t stand them. Admittedly, I was in the latter camp on both accounts. As you can see from my last recipe, Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos, and this…
TACO TUESDAY:
Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos
Don’t get me wrong, the traditional tacos I had growing up hold a special place in my heart…especially when they’re done well.

The Best Roasted Potatoes Ever!
(Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, Garlic and Pine Nuts)
When I create recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, many of them go through a lot of testing. This was one of them. You might be thinking, “They’re roasted potatoes…what’s to test?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Actually, you didn’t…I just suggested you did so that I could tell you about all the different ways…
Heavenly Deviled Eggs
Few things remind me more of this time of year than deviled eggs. Why? Well, Easter always falls around this time of year (this year, it’s THIS Sunday)…and when you’re a kid, that means you decorate egg after egg after egg. Our basic recipe was 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon white vinegar and food coloring…

How to Make Hummus
I love easy recipes that taste great. Hummus is one of those. And it’s funny, think about it, when is the last time you thought to make hummus at home? What? Never? Hey, I totally get it…that was me! Hummus just seemed to be one of those items that’s easier to pick up at the…
Italian Chopped Salad
I love Italian Chopped Salads! There is something about them that is so substantial and satisfying. Just makes me happy!! Several years ago, a friend of mine and I would frequently head to this old school Italian joint, Antonio’s Pizzeria, in our neighborhood to get an Italian Chopped Salad. Actually, we would always order the Italian…
Tabouli!
When I travel, of course I love to see the sights, especially when it’s something like the Pyramids, the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower. The times that are most memorable to me, though, are those experiences I have with the local people. And one thing you can count on, especially when traveling outside of the…
Indoor BBQ Chicken Grill
I have been traveling a bit this winter and my adventures have taken me to places where the temperature has dropped to almost single digits. One word: Brrrrrr. Truth be told, though, I love stepping outside the comforts of home and the not-so-chilly 72°F weather we have here in LA in December and January (and…
