Three Bean Salad

Posted in Salads


went right into my mouth! I have not had a 3 Bean Salad in years! I dressed the 3 little guys with a shallot, red-wine and Meyer lemon juice vinaigrette & served them with a warm toasty piece of a French baguette!

Goat Cheese and Tomato Baguette

Posted in Sandwiches



One of my favorite meals when it is just me, is a nice glass of wine, some outstanding cheese & a nice baguette! We have a tendency to eat this way very often when we are in France but do not do it at home as a couple – Why, I ask myself?

L. is still out of town …. and maybe I was just missing him and our last trip to Paris; but, the two got me thinking and I whipped this up for dinner. A nice baguette with warm goat cheese & sliced tomatoes, I sprinkled some minced lavender over the top which added a very refreshing taste to this dish – bursting with flavor with the heirlooms and herbs! I also had an excellent glass of Malbec! Bon Appetite!

Mixed Berry Ice Cream

Posted in Dessert


We went to Webb Ranch to pick berries …. logan berries, blackberries, raspberries, boysenberries – tons of fun and tons of berries! Made homemade ice cream with some of them. Used David Lebovitz basic Vanilla recipe & then swirled some mixed berries that I had crushed and let sit for awhile, into the soft ice cream during the last couple minutes in the ice cream freezer! YUMMY!
