  • Balsamic Chicken with Avocado and Radish Salad

    ,

    Sometime ago a friend of mine and I were discussing the cons of eating healthy. We both agreed that every now and then after eating perfect portions of lean proteins, limited carbs and a staple of fresh fruits and veggies we craved a hefty steak with a baked potato to fill us up. Something to…

  • Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken

    ,

    When I was 16 turning 17 my best friend’s family invited me to join them on a cross country trip. Equipped with R.E.M’s “Out of Time” album and C&C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat”, we made our way to Texas to visit Beverly’s Friends the Robinson’s, New Mexico to visit her Aunt, a site…

  • Apricot Mustard Glazed Pork Roast

    Growing up, we always had turkey on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Stephen is not a fan of turkey, so we only have it on Thanksgiving, because it just seems right to have turkey on Thanksgiving. For our Easter feasts so far, I have tried lamb and ham. With Spring comes all the beautiful and lush…

  • BBQ Nachos

    ,

    As a born and bred Southern Gal turned California chic, I occasionally get the hanker’n for some good ol’ southern barbecue. This summer I returned to my roots when I went to visit my family in South Florida. Before my arrival, my brother asked me what I wanted for dinner that night. I immediately requested,…
