Brie, Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Pizza

February 8, 2015

I was craving pizza last week and asked Jason if he was up for going to Pizzeria Delfina Friday evening. But it turned out to be a wet and dreary day, so I decided to bust out my Baking Steel and make dinner for the two of us instead….

Turkey Meatballs with Hoisin Glaze

February 5, 2015

If you’ve been following my blog or Instagram feed, you’ve probably noticed I don’t eat a lot of meat. I’m not a vegetarian – I’d just rather play with sugar, flour, grains and greens than ribs, chops or drumsticks. And what I create in the kitchen is what I consume throughout the week….

January 30, 2015

Are you ready for some football? I may not be tuned into the big game on Sunday, but you can bet money that I’ll be cooking up something tasty in the kitchen, like these chili-filled cornmeal popovers. I’d much rather dice, spice and sauté than spectate any day….

Cheesy Chili-Filled Deep Dish Pizza

December 3, 2014

Ever get home from traveling and crave a home-cooked meal? It happened to me on Sunday. Jason and I had just returned from a five-day stay in Washington, where we spent Thanksgiving with his family. We ate (and drank) very well, but when we landed in San Francisco, I was in the mood for “my” food. Grocery shopping and spending all day in the kitchen, however, were not at the top of my “Things I Want to Do” list.
