Just about everyone I know eats a fair amount of chicken. And those boneless, skinless chicken breasts are just so easy to pull out of the freezer and cook for a simple, quick, dinner. Unfortunatly , those boneless, skinless chicken breasts can get pretty boring. I sure you're going to be shocked...
I love making salsas that I can use as sauces to change up some the regular old hum-drum every day meals. You can make salsas out of just about anything, and use them turn an ordinary piece of chicken…into something extraordinary. In this recipe, I show you how to make a “Southwest” inspired,...
In Spring and Summer I’m looking to use asparagus in just about any way that I can…so soup just has to come into play. And like all soups, there are a ton of different versions to put together. For this asparagus soup recipe, I add some potatoes and tarragon. By adding the potatoes, and blending...
I love to make this spaghetti carbonara recipe when I want a “wow” factor on the plate. While the ingredients aren’t really different than in my normal carbonara recipes, for this version, I reserve the yolk of the egg, and serve it nested in the finished spaghetti. Served with that raw yolk on top...
I love potatoes in just about any way, and in this recipe, I give you a “smashed” potato recipe that is just killer. This is one of the best examples of "no recipe required" that I’ve got. You can add tons of different items to this dish, and it will still be great...heck you can even use sweet...

I know that asparagus brings some challenges with wine pairings, but as a food pairing it’s near the top of the list...
While green salads are great, I’m frequently looking for something…a bit different. And since salads can be composed of just about anything, you don’t have to look too far. In this recipe video I make a simple salad from pear, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and endive. The pear, walnut and blue cheese...
One of my favorite comfort foods is Macaroni and cheese…but it’s also one of my more sophisticated foods too. Because you can use some many different cheeses and “extras” in mac ‘n cheese, you can really mold the dish in different ways. In this recipe video, I show you how to make the dish a bit...
In my continuing quest to eat every spear of Asparagus grown in Northern California this Spring, I decided to make an Asparagus and Lemon Risotto. As I’ve said before, I love a good risotto. While they take a bit of time to make, it is a very simple process. And when you have access to quality...
