Sweet, fresh corn always reminds me of August. That’s when the first ears of corn seem to be ready to be picked from the garden (not that I have any planted in my own garden…but I can pretend).

Grilled corn with hoisin-orange butter
Monday, August 9th, 2010Bison burgers with avocado relish
Monday, July 12th, 2010
Have you ever tried ground bison meat? Tastes just like beef! (Bet you thought I was going to say chicken.)
And according to the experts, it’s healthier too. Antibiotics and growth hormones are not given to bison, according to the U.S.D.A, and it is much lower in fat and calories than both beef and chicken. It’s also supposed to be higher in nutrients.
Thai watermelon salad

Remember how I told you the National Watermelon Promotion Board sent us that CD-Rom of recipes? Well, not all the recipes were as strange as watermelon petit fours.
Grilled sweet potato salad with jicama and blue cheese and chipotle-lime dressing
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
The ingredient list for this dish is pretty bizarre. I never would have thought to combine sweet potatoes, jicama, a spicy lime dressing and blue cheese together.
Tandoori-style chicken burgers
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Do you ever get tired of eating? Not that you’re not hungry, just that nothing really sounds that good?
It’s a sad feeling, I know. We live in one of the most bountiful places in the world, where we can eat just about anything we want. There are thousands of choices, which is more than what many people in the world have.
Ceviche
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
This past weekend, the family and I enjoyed a walk along the gorgeous Bob Jones Trail in Avila Beach. The sun was warm, the sky was blue and it finally felt like summer.
After enjoying the sea air for awhile, we decided we couldn’t go home without some fresh seafood. So after the walk, we drove over to Port San Luis. At the end of the pier is Olde Port Fish and Seafood, which was brimming with just-caught salmon, ahi, oysters and more.
Pork loin with strawberry and avocado salsa
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
After a dreary winter, it’s fun to cook with colorful and fresh ingredients. That’s probably why this past weekend could have been called “Fun with meat and fruit salsa!” at my house.
Pot roast tacos

Last week’s fresh veggie tote had a south of the border theme. That meant onion, garlic, avocados, jalapeno and pasilla peppers, cabbage and cilantro.
Perfect for tacos!
Fancy six-layer dip
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
I don’t care about the Super Bowl at all, but I do care about snacks. Which is why I’m telling you about this fancy six-layer dip.
I added “fancy” to the name because it’s way more hoity-toity than the average seven-layer slop people tend to serve up. Click to continue »
Chicken korma/Indian chicken curry
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
In honor of Curried Chicken Day on Jan. 12, I decided to make my favorite at-home Indian food dish. The recipe is from Williams-Sonoma, and it’s called Chicken Korma in Williams-Sonoma Food Made Fast: Simple Suppers, and Indian Chicken Curry in Williams-Sonoma The Weeknight Cook. Not sure why they changed it, but it’s delicious just the same.
Have you ever had Indian food? It’s amazing!
