The most amazing thing happened yesterday… a recipe I submitted to The Frisky was featured on their site. I can’t believe it. I was utterly stunned. The best part about it, is that a very old friend of mine that I’m friends with on Facebook saw the post and added it to my page when [...]

scallops with shallot orange butter sauce

end of summer…

September 30, 2011

you guys have no idea how happy I was when I finally saw figs in my local Whole Foods. I grabbed a box of those babies like they were going out of style. Figs are delicious by themselves but when I’m feeling fancy I like to stuff them with cheese and wrap them in proscuitto [...]
