As you know, the family was sick through Christmas. I managed to catch a minor cold this week, so chicken soup is on the menu. It’s a simple and basic recipe that my mom taught me. Hopefully you won’t get sick, but hopefully you’ll still try the soup to warm your bones on these chilly… Continue reading

Let’s Roll!
My apologies for a lapse in the cooking and blog writing. My family is a bit under the weather this holiday season. I’m recovering from surgery. I had a little cancer that had to be removed, so my doctor successfully removed my thyroid and some lymph nodes. They say that I won’t even miss them!… Continue reading
Nice to Meat Ya!
We’re not Italian and can’t even pretend to be. This meat sauce hails from a recipe from my grandma’s cookbook that was labeled “Hungarian goulash”? Last I checked, we’re not Hungarian and this recipe doesn’t seem very Hungarian either? In any case, it’s the meat sauce that I grew up with. My mom has adapted… Continue reading
A Dia To Remember
A couple of friends of mine were interested in celebrating Dia De Los Muertes on November 1st in honor of a friend that passed away way too soon last year. So we started in Old Town Pasadena for their celebration but we only found a few window displays (and a few shopping items). We all… Continue reading
The Family Tree
My dad planted two trees when I was about 4 years old, a peach and an avocado. My favorite tree was the peach tree because as a kid, it was one fruit that I couldn’t get enough of. His favorite was the avocado tree. Over the years, a decision had to be made – which tree to keep… Continue reading
Heat Wave Cooking
I don’t mean that I have some fancy schmancy “Heat Wave” or confectioner’s oven or anything. I am referring to the unbearable heat that Southern California has been experiencing this Summer and into now October! We’ve had record highs and unusual humid days like the South. I can’t begin to know for sure how prayers… Continue reading
It’s a Wrap! Lettuce Wrap, that is.
Once again, I take you back with me to a Palm Springs trip. This particular recipe was used for our Palm Springs Memorial Day 2015. There were about 8 of us on this trip. It was a great house with a round pool and a round living room, very Palm Springs. It seemed like miles… Continue reading
Roger’s Gardens – A Delish Shopping Trip!
We celebrated my mom’s birthday recently. We usually like to drive my parents places that they don’t get to go to on a regular basis, so this birthday weekend was no exception. I think we tired the parents out but hopefully they had some fun in the process. There’s a nursery and gift shop… Continue reading
Delish-able Mention #2
This week I found a special Delish-able Mention from my friend Debi. As you probably know, California is having a drought right now. We’re supposed to have a very rainy winter, but that doesn’t help our brown grass now. Lots of California residents have taken to zero-scapes or rock gardens. Debi’s answer to an empty… Continue reading
Please Sir, May I Have S’more?
I went camping this year. I even have witnesses. It’s not a regular occurrence for me, but occasionally I like it. To be clear, I like the outdoors – the scenery, most of the smells, trees and stuff. I’m not an avid camper though, so I have no equipment to make camping easy. I have… Continue reading
