I know how much you guys love my famous Cinnamon Rolls. They really are the best and there are hundreds of rave reviews. I’ve taken that same recipe and turned it into something fun and new. Because who doesn’t love a cute little cupcake? This recipe makes 18 cute little cinnamon roll cupcakes in a standard sized muffin tin. You’d have to make significant adjustments to how you shape your rolls in order to accommodate a mini muffin tin, and it’s not something I recommend....

“Don’t call it gazpacho.““Why not? It looks like gazpacho, but with some zucchini.““It’s my soup. I made it up. It’s not gazpacho. Don’t call it gazpacho.““Okay dad, whatever you say.” So instead, my brother Eddie has named it “The Farmer’s Market in a Soup”. Given that dad brought home every ingredient except the seasonings and broth from our local farmers market, the name makes sense. It is a wonderfully cool, fresh soup for a hot summer day....

Appetizers may be miniature in size, but they can also be big in flavor. The cream cheese avocado wonton is a classic. The wonton itself is a pleasant bite, but the cilantro lime dipping sauce is where you get the big punch. Full of flavor and sure to please! Dipping that warm, crisp wonton into the dipping sauce and then shoving it into my mouth to get that acidic flavor of the sauce, the still crispy wonton, and the slightly melted creaminess of the cream cheese and avocado is just heavenly....

What Is Polenta? Polenta is a porridge type dish popular in Northern Italy. In Italy it is often made with various ingredients, including cornmeal, ground rice, buckwheat, and chestnut flour. Here in North America, it is generally made exclusively with coarsely ground cornmeal. Think of polenta as an Italian version of grits! But made with yellow corn instead of the white corn of grits. You can make and serve polenta warm and porridge-like, or you can let it set and slice it to grill or fry....

This Creole potato salad hails from Louisiana where people are never too far from their Tony Chachere’s or Zatarain’s. The distinguishing feature of creole potato salad is “creole mustard”, which has a unique spicy taste with chiles, molasses, and herbs. I was able to find a jar at our local Raley’s grocery store here in Sacramento, so I’m guessing that it’s not too hard to find in other parts of the country....

Cream cheese and sour cream make the base of the dip while tangy and spicy prepared horseradish, Worcestershire, lemon, shallots, chives, and parsley round it out making an extra special party dip. I suggest making it a day or two earlier which allows the flavors to meld and develop and for the dip to firm up....

Chris and I have always loved coconut ice. Whenever we visit the coast, we always make a point of wandering around the sweet shops to find homemade fudge or coconut ice. I honestly never realised just how easy it is to make at home though. We’re talking: 4 ingredients No special equipment No heating or baking The method basically consists of mixing and roughly shaping. This means that the only difficult part is waiting for the uncut slab of coconut ice to dry before cutting into it....

My kitchen is under construction. Right before Christmas. It is a nightmare. My heart yearns to be in the kitchen. This morning a majorly dusty portion of construction was scheduled to begin so I hurried and made a quick breakfast for me and the kids before being kicked out for the day. I had some red potatoes that needed to be used up and a little bit of leftover bacon....
