I don’t care for sloppy joes. There. I said it. I grew up hating them because my school cafeteria would put something together that they called sloppy joes but it wasn’t yummy or comforting or anything good. Don’t get me started on the hoagie sandwiches! Needless to say, the school cafeteria had me put sloppy… Continue reading

Candied Orange Peel
I made some chocolate orange cookies recently and the recipe called for candied orange peel. I always enjoy recipes with candied fruit peels so I thought it would be a good idea to get familiar with the process. It’s not hard at all. The most difficult part was cutting the orange peel to a desired… Continue reading
Custard Pie
I grew up in Ventura County. I was born in Inglewood, CA, and my parents bought a house in Oxnard, CA. when I was 3 years old. Prior to that I think we lived in Navy housing on the Navy base as my dad was a Chief in the Navy. Most of the time, my… Continue reading
Bulletin Board Boredom
When I moved into the bungalow, I bought a large bulletin board at Home Goods. I bought it for it’s size and not the frame. I lived with this bungalow for years and truly disliked the frame but didn’t think of what to do with it until now! I decided to change it in order… Continue reading
Asparagus, Egg and Green Onion Salad
This recipe has been adapted from two recipes from Martha Stewart. I really love her champagne vinaigrette dressing so I used it for this simple salad. (I think you can substitute with any of your favorite vinaigrettes as well.) Chop your asparagus into bite size pieces. Put them in a sauce pan with water covering… Continue reading
and…It’s Time.
I have been absent from the blog for a while but it’s time to return. Like the rest of the world, I have some more personal time on my hands. My commute is considerably shorter and I’ve been confined to my bungalow for weeks now. Day 20 for me, to be concise. I’m not complaining.… Continue reading
Happy Fall Y’all
It’s Fall, but in Southern California that still means its 80 degree weather. I’m not in the mood for baking and making soups yet, but some decor showed its colors as I was ready for some warm hues of orange and brown for a change. When you live in a house that is 650 sf.… Continue reading
What’s Weird About That?
I was recently at my parent’s house and we were deciding on dinner. We settled on a Cabezas Family favorite of sauerkraut, kielbasa and white rice, comfort food that is indicative of my mixed heritage. It sounds ridiculous but thinking of it makes me think of home. It made me think that other families probably… Continue reading
Pit Stop
I don’t know about you, but it’s hot. I get it. It’s Summer and it’s supposed to be hot, so I should stop complaining and seek refuge in air conditioning. I’m happy to be at work these days where the air conditioning makes us feel like it’s Antartica! And if I may be permitted to… Continue reading
Blame it on the Tapeworm
I recently took a European vacation with a couple of friends, Ria and Lucas, where we went to Ireland and London, with a 16 hour layover in Iceland. We started out taking the easy route of eating in pubs for the first couple of days and then challenged ourselves to find food that we would… Continue reading
