Ahi Poke
Ahi poke (pronounced “POH-keh”) is a classic Hawaiian food. I love making ahi poke in the summertime, because it’s nice and cool. No need to heat up the oven.
Easy Potato Salad
Potato salad is one of my favorite summertime dishes. Perfect for a barbecue or garden party, I love potato salad with baked beans and grilled hot dogs or cheeseburgers.
Italian Chopped Salad
One of my favorite summertime salads is an Italian chopped salad. We enjoy this at least once a week in the summer.
Brisket Tacos
I love Tex Mex. It’s my comfort food. My very favorite Tex Mex meal in all the world is at a place called Mia’s Tex Mex in Dallas. The very best thing on the menu is their confoundingly fabulous and unforgettable brisket tacos.
Manhattan Clam Chowder
I love clam chowder. Not everyone can digest dairy, and New England Clam Chowder is made with cream and milk. Here is a great recipe for Manhattan-style Clam Chowder.
Crockpot Pork Carnitas
It wasn’t until I moved to Southern California that I discovered pork carnitas. And what a discovery — they are outrageously good.
New England Clam Chowder
I may not be in New England, but I still crave clam chowder in the wintertime. Even here in Southern California, it’s comforting to have something warm and nourishing on a cold winter night. It may not be blustery cold and snowing in Los Angeles, we do feel the chill in our bones.
