Deep Dish Recap
If you’re just joining us, or if you’ve been following all week, there’s no denying these pizzas make your tummy grumble a little bit. It’s almost 11 o’clock and I’ve eaten plenty today but they still make me want pizza. Just a little bit of that sauce and melty cheese… “We can’t wait for leftovers tomorrow!” -Jenna Amber said...

It's Thursday & it's Deep Dish Pizza Day...
Happy Thursday to you all! Little known secret…Thursdays are my favorite day of the week. Always have been. Something about the day I was born on and being little and having “library day” at school … anyway. It’s also about to be pizza day, which only makes things better. I’ve always loved pizza. I’ve always loved making pizza. But for some reason,...

How the Chicken Pot Pancakes Turned Out
So another big thanks to my two biggest fans of the moment, Jenna & Amber. You guys have been awesome this week, and I will forever be grateful for your support.

Wednesday Night: Chicken Pot Pancakes
Chicken Pot … what? Yes, I said pancakes. And the first thing I have to tell you is to get the image of buttery, syrupy, sweet, pancakes out of your mind. It’s time to think of pancakes in a different way. Once you can do that, you are left with a doughy, bread-like base. Almost like a biscuit. And when you add some veggies and chicken and cover it with gravy (because what...

Tortilla Soup: How It Turned Out
A huge, heartfelt thank you to my dear friends and family, and fellow cooks who cooked Tortilla Soup with me last night…from their own kitchens across the continent. It really means a lot to me to have participants and for us to create together…without having “too many cooks in the kitchen!” Beautiful soup and presentation a la Toni Markow, my wonderful MIL. A very...

Monday Night: (Chicken) Tortilla Soup
So here it is! Tonight we will make Chicken Tortilla Soup (feel free to omit the chicken and it will be “almost” as tasty!) This soup is like most soup, fast, simple, something I think you will be happy to know won’t take much more out of you than this Monday already has, but will leave you feeling satisfied and maybe even a little spicy.  You will need: 3 corn tortillas, cut...

Let the Cooking Begin...next week.
Sorry guys, ice cream is not on the grocery list… First off I want to say thank you to all of you who went and filled out the survey and told me what you wanted to cook. I can’t thank you enough. It really excites me that you are out there and want to cook with me! As for the results of the survey, most of you seem pretty easy to please. Only a few of you have particular diet...

Cinco de Mayo!
If you ask me to host Taco Tuesday at my house, I’m going to turn my house into a Cantina. If I turn my house into a Cantina, it’s going to need a sign. If I invite friends over to my cantina, we’re going to get thirsty, and we’re going to have to make margaritas. If the girls are drinking margaritas, the boys are going to ask for cervezas. If we are all drinking we...
