October 2, 2011

Raise your hand if you’re new to apple butter…am I the only one? I never heard of it until last year when I was preparing a recipe that called for it, but I’ve since learned that apple butter is pretty popular in some parts of the country (evidently not so much in California). Once I [...]

November 15, 2010

Today’s post is sponsored by the new Windows Phone 7. If MTV’s Cribs ever visited our house I would have to dash over to block their cameras from filming the fridge.

French Dip Panini

September 8, 2008

As I was browsing through my favorite food blogs in my RSS reader this morning, I was drawn in by the French Dip Sandwiches on For the Love of Cooking.

“Town” & “Country” Pulled Pork Panini

August 23, 2008

It’s a twofer, folks – my indecision is your gain! Pulled pork panini, two ways. Can you really go wrong? The concept for “Town” and “Country” panini comes from a little restaurant up in Irvine called Jackson Barne.
