Texas Chuck Wagon Pinto BeansThis dish is all about FLAVOR. San Antonio and Ft. Worth are my two favorite places to be when in Texas. This recipe was inspired by some dining experiences there and, to my palate, is as Texas as bluebonnets in Spring. Sweet and spicy, richly textured, these beans cry out for anything BBQ'd, grilled or broiled. Corn on the cob,… |

Corn FrittersPancake-like corn cakes! They are not sweetened so you just get the delicate sweetness of the corn (best in summer when the corn is season). They are a great way to use up older corn, too, but will be more savory! |

Mega Garlic Basil FoccaciaThis Foccacia bread is adapted from a recipe made at the California Culinary Academy at a "Weekends At The Academy" class that I took 17 years ago. This course was on Pizza & Flatbreads. We made four different breads all of which are excellent. Sadly they no longer offer these classes for the home chef; they were great fun and an… |

Best Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemoncello SauceThis is cooking school 101. Easy - and impressive, which takes it to graduate school! Besides, I also have blueberries to use before this year's crop begins to fruit out. The end result is every bit as delicious as the photo appears. |

Pork and Shrimp Pot StickersThis is my version of a really delicious fried dumpling. I have found many recipes for pot stickers over the years, and it seems that no two are alike. I have made adaptations according to what I have on hand and what I like. Also, I use my handy dandy dumpling folder-upper-thingy that I have pictured here. It cost me 50 cents at a… |

Solar-Baked Banana BreadToo hot to bake nut breads? Get the solar cooker out and keep your cool! Just about anything you bake in the conventional oven has a complimentary solar-cooking method. This is my best banana bread recipe and when it’s cooler this fall I’ll post the same recipe baked conventionally. But here using only El Sol for the cooking energy,… |

Mint Chocolate Bundt Cake with Mint Chocolate Ganache For SammyI am so in love with this heart bundt pan. As many of you have figured out by now, I love bundt cake. The richer the cake, the less in need of frosting, the more I love it. Sure there are some frostings I like–hello anything with cream cheese–but in… |
