Please don’t be offended by the title of this recipe. It may not have all the love that a typical Paella has, or all the work of a true Paella. But this was pretty yummy and it had the feel of Paella, minus a few of the usual ingredients; I wasn’t going out to the store for mussels but that would have been a great … Continue reading Weeknight Paella

I planted some sunburst cherry tomatoes … Continue reading Spaghetti with lemon and cherry tomatoes
Kind of happy to see the rain today. Hoping it takes care of the ridiculous amount of pollen out there.

Maybe next week we can actually open … Continue reading Creamy Coconut Milk Chicken

I made a large pot of Cioppino last night for some family that were visiting. I bought a bag of mussels, a pound and a half of Cod loin and a pound of sea scallops.
