What’s New: Diestel Turkey Chorizo Tacos
Chorizo is one of those love it-or-hate-it foods.  My aunt used to make tacos with half chorizo, half ground beef and the red grease would run out the back of the tortilla and down your arm as you shoved the taco in your mouth. It was glorious.  Obviously, I'm in the love it camp, but chorizo…

I Don’t Even Like Radishes Salad
My husband doesn't eat mayonnaise. He's lucky. Mac salad holds zero --no, less than zero--interest for him. But I'm not going without.  When it comes to summer barbecues, I usually end up making a couple of salads. Mac salad for me, and something else for him. After seeing a couple of Instagram friends post pix of…

Friday Night Slice: Asparagus Flatbread with Kalamatas & Mama Lil’s Peppers
Asparagus is so good on pizza, I had to do it two ways this week. Sunday's edition was for the asparagus purist -- dough simply stretched and brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with red pepper flakes, then topped with mozzarella and fontina.  The asparagus spears are cut in half, and the bottoms are cut into…

Spring Fever Salad w/ Mango, Radishes and Sugar Snaps
Spring fever salad season is in full effect. After months of kale Caesars and roasted beet salads, it's finally time to break free. Sugar snaps are in. And not even the first-of-the-season price was gonna scare me off this week. Usually I like them simple -- just blanched and drizzled with a little sesame oil and salt.…

Feast Tofino: Food Fest West Coast Style
If you’re driving to Tofino, British Columbia, the last major leg is the pass connecting Port Alberni with Ucluelet and Tofino. It’s a windy road and in the winter, chains are required. The thing is, that’s until the end of March. But then, April stretches into May and it’s Spring – harvest time on British Columbia’s…
