Muffin-Pan Potato Gratins

These Muffin-Pan Potato Gratins get really crispy. They go really well with beef, chicken, or fish. You could also serve them for breakfast with eggs.

Mixed Green Salad with Strawberries & Pecans

This Mixed Green Salad with Strawberries & Pecans is my new favorite salad. I used a hard boiled egg slicer to cut the strawberries, which makes it fast and easy.

The Luggage Room’s Avocado Festival Pizza

The Avocado Festival is my favorite pizza from the Luggage Room, which is a pizzeria attached to La Grande Orange, housed in the old luggage room of the Pasadena train station. The Avocado Festival is topped with avocados, tomatoes, basil, and lemon zest. At Luggage Room, they use a sourdough crust which is sublime! Here is my take on this pizza that you can make at home.

Radish and Jicama Salad

This Radish Jicama Salad, which is a very fresh tasting Spring salad, is loosely based on a recipe from Real Simple magazine. I changed a few things. Instead of red onions, I used 2 green onions and I left out the cilantro. I despise cilantro!

Focaccia Bread Pizza

When my husband and I were first married we lived in North London. We used to shop at Da Mario, an Italian delicatessen in Islington, Highbury Park. It is very small, but they have everything you could possibly want for a proper Italian meal. One of our favorite dinners was Focaccia Bread Pizza. They had a wonderful bread selection. You can add your favorite toppings. It’s “cheap and cheerful” as we used to say!
