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…

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

Tiny Kitchen Keto Month:Keto Pizza with aGluten-Free Cauliflower Crust
To say that pizza was a staple in my house growing up would be an understatement. After all, we’re Italian…we have pizza at least 17 times a week, right!?! A Keto Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust, on the other hand, is another thing altogether. I don’t think the words Keto Pizza or Cauliflower Crust were…
Tiny Kitchen Keto Month:Keto Almond-Crusted Fish
I always laugh thinking that a few short years ago I did not like fish….at all. Although, the funny thing really is that there are actually a lot of foods (and I mean a LOT of food) that I didn’t like growing up. Most of the food I didn’t like…was because I didn’t like them. …

Tiny Kitchen Keto Month:Keto Bagels
I have always had an affinity for bagels! I remember getting these amazing bagels just down the street from me when I first moved to Los Angeles. Those bagels were huge…about the size of my head. I would get them with Jalapeños and Cheese on top. Sooo good! It was at that point that I…
