Bacon and Caramelized Onion Tart and the Best of 2011

Hello and goodbye. That time of year when we look at the past 12 months and search for accomplishments and meaning and face toward the new year with both anticipation and maybe some trepidation. Did we accomplish all we wanted to; did we grow, provide, serve enough? Will we make changes to how we manage [...]

Pasta with Fresh Spinach, Tomatoes and Roasted Garlic

It’s hard to believe, but it’s already been a month since my last Secret Recipe Club post and I won’t deny; getting this assignment completed on time was difficult. Just a very long, emotional week for many of us who know or know of Jennifer Perillo. If you aren’t aware of the tragedy that befell [...]

Snowmass Culinary and Arts Festival – The Unknowns – Richard Sandoval and Diane Henderiks

I am going to be perfectly honest. When I was asked by the PR firm that invited me to attend this event in Snowmass which chefs I wanted to interview; I looked carefully at the top three featured chefs. How could I not interview Hosea Rosenberg, winner of Top Chef in 2009 and a Boulder [...]

I’ve seen post after [...]

Pear, Walnut and Bleu Cheese Salad with Maple Dijon Dressing from Nordstrom’s Cafe

I first posted this recipe almost 2 years ago, when I was using a camera on the verge of dying and when I had to use pecans in lieu of my beloved walnuts. So it seemed appropriate when I made it again this past week that I do a re-posting. I absolutely love the pear [...]

Happy New Year and our Most Popular Posts of 2010!

The last day of the year, 2010. It’s been one heck of a year. For me, too much of it spent rehabilitating from the most serious injury I’ve ever had but thankful that it’s getting better, that my family is healthy and that I’ve been able to stay in touch with the ‘outside’ world through [...]

Here’s to a Healthy New Year and a Different Kind of Cleanse!

Breakfast, Day 2: Warm and Nutty Quinoa from 101Cookbooks.com Although the word cleanse can leave most of us lacking (or even frightened!) in terms of being excited about the possibility, when I saw Bon Appetit tweet yesterday (@bonappetitmag) about a food lovers cleanse, I was intrigued enough to at least click the link and check [...]
