This weeks post was inspired by National Tequila day which was Friday. Our tennis team had an extra match this week and we thought it would be fun to make it a theme night for our after match picnic and cocktails. All things tequila! I thought that a tequila lime vinaigrette would be good and
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Liquor Ganache
Tis the season’s for birthday’s! It seems that most of my friends and family are either Aquarius people, Taurus people and Leo people. Go figure, but it’s fun to bake birthday cakes for folks, so here it goes. My Dad’s birthday is this weekend and so is Valentine’s day so this flourless chocolate cake
Creole Braised Short Ribs
Some good things happened on Sunday. Played tennis in the morning, took the dogs for a little hike at Chief Hosa, hung out with some awesome people up in Genessee, drank a glass or two of wine, ate some really great food including these Creole braised short rib sandwiches… And then the Bronco’s game came
Black Sea Salt Caramels
Tis’ the season that I am knee-deep in writing my 200+ Christmas cards and making my Black Sea Salt Caramels for clients and friends! This time of year is super busy hanging out in the ol’ house! Every year for something like 15 years I have been making these caramels. I end up making about
Beef Brisket Street Tacos
Last week I posted the most awesome Beef Brisket recipe from Tujague’s restaurant in NOLA. Obviously, I had a ton of leftovers even after feeding friends and family! So I was looking for something to make with all the leftover meat, guess what? Tacos were in order! As you may guess from all my posts,
Green Chile Risotto
I promise, I’m almost off my Hatch green chili kick! There just have been so many people asking, “what do I do with them”? Well. this is something that I came up with last week for a dinner party. It was kinda a comfort food night and neither mac and cheese nor grilled cheese and
Chili Relleno Eggrolls
Now that the chili cook off is over, my freezer is empty! It’s kinda nice but an empty freezer seems a little off to to me, so I needed to restock and what better to restock it with than more green chilies! I headed over to get my two bushels of roasted chilies and ended
Green Chili Enchilada Lasagna
Well, well, well it’s starting to be Fall in Colorado. We know this because THE CHILI”S ARE HERE and regular season football starts on Thursday!!! OMG, my favorite time of year by far! Chili’s in Colorado are like lobster’s in Maine. In Colorado, you eat chili’s, in Maine you eat lobster. The two go hand
Meatloaf with Pancetta and Mushrooms
Funny thing is, I made this meatloaf last week when I was craving meatloaf, and then this week while watching “The Kitchen” on Food Network this week, they said that meatloaf is the most searched food on their site! So perfect timing, I had to make another one to post! I’m “meat-loafed” out! But it’s
Pho
A few weeks back, a client and me stopped for lunch after a morning of looking at homes. We picked a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Khang in Park Meadows because we were craving soup and it was locally owned. We both prefer that over chain restaurants. So that being said, we ordered Pho (pronounced
