Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip

Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip

Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip is so good. It seems like hummus is taking over the supermarkets. It occupies a big piece of refrigerator real estate. Don't get me wrong, I love good hummus, but I am a bit sick of it. Here is a new dip idea that's fast and easy.

Dill Pickle Dip

Dill Pickle Dip

This Dill Pickle Dip is divine! When my husband and I were dating 100 years ago and we would go to the supermarket, he would buy a jar of dill pickles and eat the entire jar in the car before we got home. He likes his dill pickles. His brother used to drink the juice, not sure if he still does this! Russell?!

Tuna & Avocado Donburi

Tuna & Avocado Donburi

Try this Japanese Tuna & Avocado Donburi dish. A Donburi or "don" is a Japanese "rice bowl dish". This one is a wonderful mixture of tuna and rich avocado from Harumi Kurihara Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking: Simple, Elegant Recipes for Contemporary Tastes. She has been called the Martha Stewart of Japan.

Tiramisu

This Tiramisu is a very simple, classic Italian dessert. Tiramisu in Italian means "pick me up" or "lift me up" and is a popular coffee-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavored with cocoa.

Spring Lettuce with Sautéed Pears

Spring Lettuce with Sautéed Pears

I love this Spring Lettuce with Sautéed Pears recipe. The sweetness of the sautéed pears goes perfectly with the tangy, simple vinaigrette.

Peanut Butter Chews

Peanut Butter Chews

Try these Peanut Butter Chews. A no bake cookie recipe. I went to San Marino High School in San Marino, California the '70s.  I hated high school.  I moved to California my freshman year and was always an outsider.  I still feel like an outsider, anyway, nothing that years of therapy won't solve.....  I digress....  One high point in my time there was a "cookie" they sold in the cafeteria, which also sold corn dogs that had a greenish tinge to them!  This cookie-ish thing was called a peanut butter chew.  It was very weird and wonderful.  You don't even have to bake these!  So for all my SMHS friends, without further ado - the peanut butter chew!  Nice rhyming, if I do say so! My friend Kay from SMHS took this wonderful photo!

Pink Gin Martini

Pink Gin Martini

Try this Pink Gin Martini. Pink Gin is the quintessential British drink. You might have thought the G&T, or Pimm’s Cup or even a pint of good, English ale might hold this honor, but nothing says Britain—and the Empire—like Pink Gin.
