Grilled Cheese with Fontina and Caramelized Pear
We’re starting this New Year off with a bang… and a cooking lesson! I had the absolute, cheesy pleasure to learn how to properly make a grilled cheese from Chef Luke Reyes at The Corner Door. Turns out, I’ve been doing it incorrectly all of these years, and maybe you have too. Read on

Mango Jerk Chicken Skewers
The other day I decided (in a rare, nesting-moment of pure adrenaline) to clean out my freezer. While deep in the bowels of that frozen tundra I found a few wayward popsicles, a corkcicle I keep forgetting to use and small bag of frozen mango leftover from the last time I made carnitas. I didn’t

Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers
I love a stuffed pepper. I mean really, what’s not to love? Meat, cheese, sauteed niblets all encased in a vegetable so it makes you feel healthy… it’s a win/win.
