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….

Quinoa Tabbouleh with Feta Cheese

February 3, 2015

According to Instagram, it was Ina Garten’s birthday on Monday. So it was quite fortuitous that I made her quinoa tabbouleh over the weekend – a fitting tribute to one of my favorite cookbook authors and celebrity chefs. Of course, it did not let me down….

November 13, 2014

That’s why my husband and I will drive 45 minutes just to get a taste of their “seasonal fresh vegetables and saffron rice, baked in a vegetable and herb stock, topped with Romesco sauce.” At $12.50 for the small portion, it’s a steal. If Jason and I order something off the tapas menu and drinks to accompany it, we always have leftovers (delicious for lunch or dinner the next day)….
