Our dinners have been really simple lately. Usually just fresh vegetables and some sort of protein, like grilled steak or chicken. But I've been needing to spice things up in the flavor department, so when I saw this recipe in a recent issue of Cooking Light, it was calling my name. Sign me up for anything with avocado and lime! Holy wow! The flavors in the spice rub and salsa ... View Post
Beef Tenderloin with Sweet Potato Coins & Broccolini
I am good at many thingsΒ in life, but remembering which streets to turn on while driving is not one of them. I told you about the lack of my sense of direction over the summer. It's gotten to the point where Mr. Peaches tracks my iPhoneΒ on Google Latitude whilst not with me to make sure I'm going the right way to doggy day care. Actually I can figure out where I am going just fine, ... View Post

Will I ever learn ... View Post
Roast Leg of Lamb with Herb Sauce
You never know that you're going to like something until you try it, right? That's how I felt with lamb when I made it for the first time last spring. It's super elegant, a little gamey, and pairs perfectly with a fresh lemony green herb sauce (like a chimichurri sauce).Β I totally forgot to snap pictures of the sauceΒ but trust me it is unbelievable! There are several different ... View Post
