Summer is upon us, and with it the need for lighter meals and cool refreshing desserts. For many this means ice cream, gelato, sorbet or a float, all of which are wonderful indeed, but to me it means fruit, preferably with a bit of a kick.
This recipe stemmed partially from the fact that I have [...]
If you’re looking for a quick, light lunch for those warm summer days, look no further than your freezer and pantry to deliver something insanely satisfying in just a few minutes time.
Here on the Texas/Oklahoma border, summer has been late arriving. We finally got one of the first really “summery” days about a week [...]
Thirteen Things about Food Network’s Tyler Florence
Welcome back to my continuing series on the The Food Network’s stable of celebrity chefs. As promised, the tone this week will be positive, as I highlight one of the people whom I firmly believe redeems Food TV for some of its Bobble-Headed-ness, Chef Tyler Florence.I’m sure that [...]

“HEY! Would you like [...]
Summer has finally rolled into our part of Texas, hopefully leaving the thunderstorms and driving rain that have been our constant companions since March behind us for a while. With the mercury rising rapidly, it was a perfect excuse to fire up the grill and go with a side dish that was on the [...]
For those of you who might have missed the Next Food network Star last night on FoodTV, you probably shouldn’t have. It was a wild, if extremely disappointing ride.
JAG (Joshua Adam Garcia), my personal favorite to win, ended up having to resign from the competition after it came to light that he’d misrepresented himself [...]

Food Network’s official description of Ingrid is as follows:
“Ingrid Hoffmann makes every meal simply delicioso with her practical approach to [...]
They look luscious don’t they? Rich, huge, decadent ravioli, just barely touched with an intensely flavored, yet extremely light tomato sauce. I love ravioli. I love mushrooms. Mushroom ravioli is a natural progression from those two factors. Unfortunately, I made a fatal error with these. I discovered that neither my [...]
