“Thank you for voting my muffins into today’s Foodbuzz Top 9!” 11.11.11 After traveling for three weeks, I’ve returned with renewed vigor, ha! What I have done, is create a Facebook page that has the same name as my website, finally. I’ve had a Facebook page all along, but it was called TopMomBlog; and I […]
Heart Healthy
Salmon, Citrus and Sage
Besides seasonal + simple, I emphasize healthy dishes here at She’s Cookin’ – and, the older we get the more important this becomes. This isn’t a new thing for me, it’s always made me feel good to prepare a delicious meal for my family and know that they are filling their tummies with foods that […]
Weiner Schnitzel – Classic Pairing for Gruner Veltliner
Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite wine: Austrian Grüner Veltliner [GROO-ner Felt-lih-ner] and its classic food pairing: Weiner Schnitzel. Not just any Weiner Schnitzel, but Austrian celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck’s Weiner Schnitzel recipe. About Grüner Veltliner Grüner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria, where it accounts for about 30 percent of […]
Enchiladas with Hatch Chile Sauce
When is Hatch Chile Season? Don’t worry! You’re not too late, Hatch Chile season typically begins in late August/beginning of September and lasts until mid-October so you’re hitting it at its peak! Although a touch of heat adds just the zing I prefer in most dishes, I guess I’m not a true chile-head, because I […]
Tomato Mango Ketchup
Since I started writing about food and cooking almost two years ago, I’ve only used what’s referred to as a P&S (point and shoot) camera – a Canon PowerShot SX200IS to be specific – and was damn proud of the photos I produced with my cute blue camera. I’ve always been a tiny bit envious […]
Fried Green Tomato Pizza with Marcella Hazan’s Pizza Dough
When people ask me what is my favorite food, I’ve never been able to give them a straight answer because I love variety and the unique flavors of so many cuisines. But, if I HAD to pick a favorite, pizza is certainly at the top of the list, so I was really pleased when Natasha […]
Creamy Zucchini and Goat Cheese Dip
Drumroll…. here’s the third recipe in this year’s Zucchini Throwdown and I’m dedicating it to Roxana of A Little Bit of Everything because of her kind comment urging me to keep them coming on my previous post where I declared an end to zucchini season 🙂 Don’t get the wrong impression, just because this humble […]
Moroccan Chicken with Green Beans
Aromatic Moroccan spice Ras el Hanout adds a dash of the exotic to this quick and easy braised chicken dish that is comforting and delicious. Add green beans for a perfect weeknight dinner or Sunday Supper. I’ve been on a Moroccan bender for the past year, especially after “discovering” this quality blend of the aromatic […]
Wonton Dessert Fruit Cups
Here I thought I would catch up on my writing over the three-day weekend! Not… The Don was home from Paris and craving some healthy home-cooking after an extravagant dinner at The Ritz! So I did a lot of cooking…. How was your weekend? Relaxing, fun in the sun, catch a flick, some BBQ and […]
Baby Greens with Mango, Loquat and Mango Sauce
Just a short break in the travelogue to post a recipe – the name She’s Cookin’ implies cooking after all, not just eating 🙂 After being gone two weeks, I came home to fresh spinach and spring salad greens in the garden (The Don outdid himself this year) and a refrigerator full of long past […]
