A Culinary Adventure for the Entire Family
NATIONAL FOOD DAYS May 28th National Hamburger Day How many times have you heard that phrase ‘The All-American Hamburger”? And what is the Hamburger named after? Its name would imply that it is made from Ham, but that is not the case. Our Hamburger derived it name from the city of Hamburg, Germany from which […]
PICK STRAWBERRIES DAY May 20th Strawberry season in Southern California is year round, but the peak of the season with the best tasting strawberries available is mid to late Spring. That being said, it is probably not coincidental that the Strawberry Festival in Oxnard is taking place this weekend. Oxnard is the chief growing […]
NATIONAL SHRIMP DAY May 10th, 2012 May 10th is National Shrimp Day – yeah! Shrimp are one of my favorite foods. I love them almost any way they are cooked. What is a shrimp? Shrimp are shellfish that live in salt and fresh water and range in size from that of an insect to […]
March 25th – March 26th Sunday – 3/25 – Looks like this Sunday is another day filled with cooking and baking which is the perfect thing to do in rainy weather.

Mother’s often bring treats to their children’s classrooms or offer some at home to their children and their friends. Party or luncheon treats can be […]
My third venture with tomato powder was to make Lemon/Tomato/Herb Scones. Scones are the English version of our American Biscuits. They are usually more rustic in appearance and hearty with more flavor. In recent years there has been a wave of popularity over scones and they have been made in many different ways. […]
There is almost always something you can convert one dish to when you get tired of eating it and roast chicken is no exception. When making a roast chicken I always purchase a large one because the larger ones are plumper and usually juicier. As most people chicken breast can be dry but when there […]
Now that you have baked your tomato bread, what to do with it other than butter it and eat it? Since the recipe makes such a large loaf there are numerous things that you can do with it. So far, we have made Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Sandwiches and best of […]
