Chicken Tacos with Guacamole Sauce

I think I have an addiction to tortillas! And it does not matter if they’re flour or corn, I just can’t eat enough of ‘em! But this new addiction is closely linked to my new Cuisinart GR-3 Griddler. For lunch I do like something warm, even if I’m just having a sandwich I will toast [...]

Potato Gnocchi with Three Sauces

Sometimes I am inspired by long ago memories of warm cookies in our family kitchen. And then sometimes even a faint odor of garlic will cause massive creativity!

Today the temperatures really dropped and it was finally light jacket weather. Fall is on it’s way! Even though I’m having a hard time letting go of summer, I do love fall.

Mussels in a Wine Cream Sauce

This week for Whisk Wednesdays we were supposed to make Spiced Shrimp Balls. But being on a recession budget and the price of fresh shrimp, I opted to make Mouclade or Mussels in Wine and Cream Sauce. I made this dish the easiest way possible not the Le Cordon Bleu way, which means tons of [...]
