oven fried chicken recipe

We recently have started a new little tradition. For the last few months, we have been going out for a late Sunday brunch. Even though I am not a huge breakfast eater, I do like to eat breakfast food later in the day. We try to go someplace different every week, but we keep going back to Gram & Dun, we all love it. It is in Country Club Plaza, and not only is the food amazing, but it is a gorgeous restaurant. I love the look and feel, and the mix of elegant and casual. Another reason why I … [Read more...]

roasted strawberries recipe

Last spring, I went to a blogger event at Grange in Sacramento. We went to the farmers' market across the street, bought ingredients, went back to the restaurant, and the chef made us an incredible lunch with our purchases. I loved everything about it. It was during peak strawberry season, and the pastry chef took the strawberries that we brought to her and made a tart. The interesting thing about it was that she roasted the strawberries first. I had never had strawberries cooked like that … [Read more...]

lemon curd recipe

Did y'all have a good weekend? We had a fabulous one. We are doing the big pre-move purge. There is something very rewarding about downsizing and organizing. I like moving to a new place and being semi-organized when we get there. It makes the whole process so much easier. The kids seem to adjust faster, and usually on the first night, we are all sleeping in our own beds. It takes far less time to unpack this way, and then we can move on and start to explore our new hometown. The best part of a … [Read more...]

Jack’s Urban Fries

jacks urban fries recipe

When I was pregnant with my youngest son, I ate Urban Fries from Jack's Urban Eats in Sacramento probably once a week. Urban Fries are french fries topped with blue cheese dressing, hot chili oil, red pepper flakes, and lots of chopped parsley. Admittedly, it is a strange combination, but I promise you, they are crave-worthy. I was so sick when I was pregnant, I would be sick 8-9 times a day until the day I delivered. I was not a happy girl, to say the least. It is counter-intuitive, but the … [Read more...]
