Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry
You live with someone for half your life and just when you think you know everything about them: you can complete their sentences and predict their response to nearly any situation – they surprise you. And that’s somewhat refreshing when you get to this stage of the game 🙂 For some reason I thought The […]
Chickpea Curry with Bolani
We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat” and yesterday my post focused on a recent article about how, more than ever, food defines social class in America more than the clothes you wear or the car you drive. Basically, the food that is available and affordable to the vast majority of Americans […]
Tuna Steak au Poivre
Here on She’s Cookin’ I specialize in simple + seasonal, quick and easy recipes that fit your busy lifestyle.

Roasted Asparagus
Second in my series of super easy asparagus recipes; roasting asparagus, or any vegetable, brings out its natural sweetness. This is one time where thicker spears work better than thin ones so the asparagus doesn’t get tough and stringy. You can even make these in your toaster oven – I do.
Asparagus Three Ways
When you see asparagus in the markets you know spring has arrived! Â Here in southern California we may not realize it as much as folks who have lived through months of snow and bitter cold but, like golden daffodils, the way asparagus suddenly pokes its head from still-thawing soil, it too is a harbinger of […]
Scallops with Carmelized Leeks and Arugula
I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen and that includes trying to recreate favorite dishes that I come across in my foodie adventures. Here’s my riff on the Scallops with Leek Confit from the underground dinner that I wrote about last week. Chef Amy’s pan-seared scallops were served on top of a delicate Leek Confit […]
