Easy Miso Cod en Papillote
September 21, 2020 By
It feels wrong to even call this a recipe, but, if I don’t document it, I’ll forget how tasty it is and that I should make it more often! It’s even keto-friendly! This is a very simple process and prefect for a weeknight meal of cod cooked in an aluminum foil packet on the grill. […]

September 15, 2020 By
One of my very favorite drinks is undeniably the White Lady. Love the tartness of the lemony drink and the thick foamy head from the egg white. If you’ve not had a drink made with egg whites, do it, now, it’s incredible. The main trick to this drink is to dry shake the drink, meaning, […]

July 24, 2020 By
When I go through the trouble of making lobsters for dinner, I always make an extra one for leftover lobster recipes later. One of my favorite, most decadent, way to use cooked leftover lobster is to make lobster mac and cheese. It’s luxurious, delicious and a perfect food. I’ve taken my usual large batch lobster […]

July 2, 2020 By
This light/medium-bodied Central Coast Merlot drinks very young and I recommend it be uncorked at least an hour before drinking or it be poured through an aerator. This will help it soften up and get more of the Merlot roundness the grape is known for. The 2016 Fair Oaks Ranch Merlot is affordable, light, fruity […]
