Recently, I discovered the magic of pickled red onions and they have since become one of my favorite condiments. I liked red onion to begin with, but pickling really takes it to the next level. Plus, these pickled red onions really couldn't be easier to make, which is always a bonus. They are a great addition to most savory dishes, especially tacos, burgers and rich meats. The acidity and tart vinegar burst of flavor is a nice contrast to rich and salty foods and their vibrant pink color brings ... Read More about Pickled Red Onions

Black Bean & Corn Salsa
Today's recipe is one of my favorites. I could just eat bowls and bowls and bowls of this. I like food that's easy to make, tastes good and is healthy too. Who doesn't? This salad/dip/salsa perfectly fits the bill, plus it's colorful and beautiful. My mom used to make this for me when I was younger (she called it Cowboy Caviar) and we would just sit on the couch with the bowl between us and watch a movie happily munching away. By the end middle of the movie, it would all be gone and we would ... Read More about Black Bean & Corn Salsa
Watermelon Margarita
Lately, I've really been digging watermelon juice. Summer is hot (thanks capt'n obvi) and watermelon is so refreshing--all juicy with a slight sweetness--on a hot day, I just want to eat lots of it, preferably chilled in a bowl on a table next to me as I recline in a chair after time in the pool.

Sausage Quiche with Potato Crust
I love breakfast. It's probably my favorite part of the day. Except I also love sleeping in… which is definitely my favorite part of the day. Thus, Brunch: my favorite meal of the day. Not only does it have all the breakfast delights of the morning--pancakes, eggs, bacon--but it adds some lunch items as well which is always nice. You can pretty much have whatever you want all at once. Plus I’m partial to any meal that includes coffee and Mimosas at the same time. Win-win. This is a great ...

Citrus Dill Salmon
I love Summer! And even though I'm lucky enough to live in Southern California where it's pretty much summer 9 months out of the year, the weather has been perfect lately so I just wanted to give it a shout out. It's been all steady rays of sunshine with a slight breeze aka perfect aka I love it. Also, the air conditioner in my car is broken so I'm all about breezes these days. #sweating Anyway, what better way to celebrate Summer and sunshine then to go outside and grill. Everything. Meat, ... Read More about Citrus Dill Salmon
