Steak Salad with Walnuts and Blue CheeseI made it back to California! Though it was hard to leave my family, I was looking forward to getting back because I love it here. On the way from Indy to Chicago I had a delay so I had to Oprah power walk to my gate (I couldn't run since my bag kept flipping over because my laptop case was throwing off the weight). They had already… |

Smoky Roasted Red Pepper DipHappy Halloween! Halloween is my favorite holiday, so for the potluck party at work today, I went all out on my recipe. This recipe was a throwback to the Halloween parties I had when I was a kid. My mom used a plastic candy pail as a dip bowl so the table would look festive, and I wanted to re-create my own version.

I'd set an intention to move to California for at least a year now, and for the move to finally happen felt miraculous. My… |

Ham and Spinach Crustless QuicheI'm glad to have another recipe to post, because my appetite has been off this week due to a cold and/or allergies and I just didn't feel like cooking anything until this morning. I don't know what I got a hold of, but I've just not been feeling well. I probably haven't had much of an urge to eat because I'm so stuffed up that I'm… |
