YEAH! My favorite time of the year is officially here! FALL! Yesterday the sun was finally out and it was a wonderful 75 degrees. I love this weather, although I am told that Fall doesn’t last long around here. Last night it dropped down to 56 degrees. I woke up a bit chilly this morning, not a problem because…

Chipotle Chicken n’ Rice
Last week it rained and rained, yesterday it poured. We did however get a nice break from the rain over the weekend. We actually went downtown to a Rock n’ Rib Fest with some friends and my floor was free of wet dog prints for 2 whole days. Alas it did not last. Yesterday it rained…
Be a Slacker Make Shrimp Cakes
I have been such a slacker! Which has to be very apparent to you considering my lack of posting this week. Not only have I been a slacker on posting but I have been a slacker in the kitchen. It has been raining here all week and it just makes you tired and sleepy and…
Braised Short Rib in Red Wine Gravy
The first official day of fall is just around the corner, September 22 to be exact, can you believe it? The weather here is just starting to turn and I got my first Fall issue of Bon Appetit in the mail a week ago. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, hands down, no…
Chorizo, Corn and Red Pepper Quesadilla with Mexican Rice
Chorizo, Corn and Red Pepper Quesadillas with Mexican Rice Who doesn’t like Mexican food? Everyone likes Mexican food and some people are fanatical about it.

Brie Stuffed Meatballs & Red Wine Mushroom Sauce Hoagie
Ideas come to me usually when I am going to bed. I will be honest, it is really very frustrating. I have been going non-stop all day and I am so ready to just past out, but then my brain flips a switch and stats going a mile a minute. It can be about anything…
Brussels Sprout Hash with Caramelized Shallots
Ok here we are, one more vegetable experimentation while Obed was out of town. I wasn’t kidding when I said I was going to go on a vegetable binge while he was gone, was I? I was going through some of my old issues of Bon Appetit, looking at recipes I had flagged. I…
Eggplant, Green Olive and Provolone Pizza
This is a continuation of my meatless week while Obed was away. What? Don’t look at me like that. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. I will admit that when I stumbled across this recipe I raised an eyebrow or two, but then I really thought about it I figured it should be pretty good. It…
Banana Chocolate Chip Espresso Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
On Friday evening, before we were unfortunately locked out of our car, I decided to bake Obed some cupcakes as a welcome home. Really what happened was that I walked into the kitchen and noticed three speckled bananas. Since Obed had been out of town their was no one to eat the bananas. He loves…
