A great friend of mine is getting hitched and having a camping style wedding. In honor of her and her man, I had some fun with the elements of one of summer’s best treats…s’mores!! I know it’s technically fall, but it’s 100 degrees here and fall is good camping weather in these parts! These are…
The Absolute Best Fall-Off-the-Bone Baby Back Ribs
Our family recipe for baby back ribs is an absolute stunner! You can find them here in my rib soup and here in my first post on this obsessive topic of my favorite rib recipe. So this isn’t the first time I’ve thrust this recipe at you. Have you made it? If not that is EXACTLY…
Molly’s Summer Corn Salad with Fresh Mozzarella, Avocado and Tomatoes
Good grief it is soooo wickedly hot all I want is cold food that doesn’t require my oven to be turned on. What is the deal with this heat? 111 degrees today and it’s a struggle to do anything except be underwater in the pool! For years I’ve been after Molly for this recipe! It goes…
Pina Colada Caramelized Pineapple
Yeah, you heard right. I said Piña Colada Grilled Caramelized Pineapple!!! I mean life doesn’t get better or easier than this. This recipe is ridiculous. We’ve been poolside beating the oppressive L.A. heat and this little ditty is the perfect ending to any and every impromptu bbq. I mean, the grill’s already hot so it…
Molly’s Farmers’ Market Lasagna with Homemade Noodles
When Molly was up for showing me how she makes homemade lasagna noodles rolled entirely by hand I was pumped. I can’t eat them but, man was I happy to shoot her making these beauties (and housing all the layers between noodles)! This lasagna was a BIG hit in our houses. It’s chock full of…
Sweet and Tart Strawberry Pie with Gluten-Free Crust
This strawberry pie was a delightful afterthought. I had extra flaky gluten-free from a batch of quiche and I sure as hell didn’t want to waste it! I grabbed a bunch of frozen strawberries from last season and whipped up something tasty to fill mini pots. Perfect! We loved these topped with straight sour cream…
The BEST Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes!!
These flourless chocolate cupcakes are decadent and satisfying with the rich bitterness of dark or bittersweet chocolate playing against the cool, subtle sweetness of sour cream whipped cream. My two-year-old told me these cupcakes were spicy! Ha! They keep super well at room temperature in a sealed container and you’ll find that one cupcake is enough…
Fabulous Fitness Kitchen L.A. Shoot
I don’t often post about client work, but we had a super fun shoot for a local clean meal delivery business called Fitness Kitchen L.A. and man-oh-man was it fun, gorgeous and delicious AF!!! It’s really fun to get in with smaller local clients on the ground floor and collaborate on the looks and styles that will…
Sweet Whipped Ricotta with Balsamic Strawberry Sauce and Spiced Maple Crisp
Hey ya’ll! I’ve been largely absent from the blog-o-sphere (and normal life in general) because we’re in the middle of a big move. Moving the contents of a home is hard enough but we’re also moving the studio which is, in a word, bonkers. It’s super exciting to have a new home and shoot space so…
Easy Beef Chili with Cornbread Waffles
A big pot of chili makes for some of the most useful leftovers anyone could ask for. I have to be careful not to eat beef chili leftovers for every meal. I poach eggs in chili for a big, fat, hearty lunch! This is an extra awesome way to enjoy chili using my Cornbread Waffle…
