Lea, again, knocked it out of the park with this dish. She has a knack for finding recipes that are simple, delicious, healthy, and always come out looking beautiful. Tonight’s was no exception. On the menu? One dish – Grilled Veggie Spaghetti. Ingredients: 2-3 garlic cloves EVOO – don’t measure, just pour what looks […]

Beets? Please…
Growing up, I ate Everything. Everything, that is, except for beets. I HATE beets. Don’t touch the stuff. Until tonight. Brother Jared threw it down: grilled chicken breasts and thighs marinated in dijon mustard and Herbes de Provence; cous cous w/ onion, fennel and pine nuts; and last but certainly not least…roasted beet napoleon. Seconds, […]
Ribs, Daquiris, Sunday Afternoon
Hello, again! We made it home from Mendo in one piece, and since it’s a holiday weekend, we still have a gorgeous Sunday to relax and unwind. What better way to unwind on a Sunday afternoon than a backyard BBQ? If you came up with something else, you’re wrong. This is the best! JP invited […]
Trip to Mendo
This past weekend we made a last minute decision to drive to the Mendocino Coast to take advantage of the long holiday weekend. It’s the farthest north we’ve been in California so far. It’s a small, tight-knit community. We’ve been told that locals can sometimes act snobbish toward visitors, but our experience was absolutely contrary. […]
Sizzle!
Song of the night goes to…Spoon – You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb Nothing sounds as mouthwatering as a steak sizzling. Lea picked-up some steaks today and we’re grilling them now as I type this. I’m working on perfecting caramamelization (or improving, anyway). Here are some tips: Make sure your meat is dry; pat-down extra moisture […]
Not Your Typical Tuesday
Our lease is up at the end of July, so we decided to “look-around” at some townhouses on Sunday just to see what was available. Low and behold, we ended-up filling-out an application! This particular townhouse just went on the market and has received a lot of interest. But, in the end, we got it! […]
Simply Delicioso
While I was working on logging my first entry, JP was busy working away on this dish. Grill-roasted veggies, chicken and marinara sauce. To coin a familiar phrase from Ms. Ray, “Yum-o!”
First Post!
Awesome weekend. Surf, fruit stands, bbq, concert at the Fillmore – and that’s just Saturday. Saturday We rolled out of bed around 8:00, strapped our 8.5’ stick to the roof of JP’s car, and it was nothing but “Hello, Half Moon Bay Jetty” for a morning surf. Conditions started foggy, but an unusual offshore breeze […]
