Sooooo it’s Thursday, and I have a totally beauteous salad to share with you – bursting with color and texture – that’s going to give you that extra umph to get through the rest of the week. And maybe springtime generally. Because it’s that good. And I know exactly what you’re thinking: this is the best news…

Spring Cobb Salad with a Champagne Vinaigrette
Nothing to see here, friends. Nothing to see here. EXCEPT THIS INSANELY GORGEOUS AND CRAZY DELICIOUS SPRING COBB SALAD. Whew… sorry, had to get that out. This is definitely worth seeing. And even better: worth making. As in, stop everything you’re doing, find a cutting board, pour a glass of wine, fry up some bacon, and…
Grilled Red Onion and Zucchini Salad with a Smoked Balsamic Vinaigrette
I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to grasp that it’s already March. It feels like we were literally just carving pumpkins and making gingerbread waffles.

Balsamic and Rosemary Marinated Flank Steak

Smoked Ham and White Cheddar Fritters with a Mustard-Cheese Sauce
So the sous chef and I are very much so looking forward to vacation in Mexico, and have been diligently working on our beach bodies. But ‘beach bodies’ is really open to interpretation, right? And if our diet has consisted solely of cheese-filled nuggets, and our goal is to wear moo moos on the beach, I’d…
Grilled Hearts of Romaine with Smoky Caesar Dressing
So cooking and baking are really based on trial and error, right? Luckily, for me (and really the sous chef), these grilled hearts of romaine with smoky caesar dressing were spot on delicious – which is exactly why I’m sharing the recipe with you. I wish I could always say my recipes turn out great – but…
