Salad With Your Wine?

If you, like me, love Sauvignon Blanc or any other crisp, citrusy white wine, this salad is for you.  It’s a take on one of my favorites—the caprese— but the presentation makes a simple meal super fancy.  I got the idea reading a wine/food/life blog called Noble Pig. It looked good and it tasted good. I […]

On a Roll, In a Bowl

This talk about summer has got me itching for lazy days sipping cool glasses of wine, while I admire my blooming flowers.  I’m still waiting on the zinnias and black-eyed Susan’s, and I’m absolutely yearning for an afternoon with nothing to do.  But that doesn’t mean I can’t try….

Getting Back to My Other Roots: Germany

I’m always talking about the Italian part of my heritage: making Nana’s spaghetti and meatballs for people, writing about it, planning a visit there….when/if the dollar improves.  I also have a lot of German in me;  however, I’ve never felt the same attachment.  When I visited Europe as a teenager–who did not drink and was a […]

Grgich Hills and Lobster Ravioli

The other night I wanted to make something quick and easy, as we were a little pooped from camping and hiking. I had some lobster ravioli (courtesy of Trader Joe’s) that I pulled out with the thought of making a cream sauce.  That meant I wanted some Chardonnay, so I also got the 2005 Grgich Hills […]

Two Meals, One Wine: It’s Easier Than You Might Think

Some people worry about food leftovers: how to use that turkey for the third time or what to do with those veggies before they go bad. Granted, I worry about these things as well, and I’d like to think I’ve come up with some pretty creative meals to get the most out of my fridge […]

Argyle Brut and an Asian-Themed Meal, in Minutes

Dr. Debs was right on the money in her post about take-out. Sometimes you just have to have it with a busy holiday schedule and so many other things to do than cook. Of course, I have to spruce things up a bit, and that includes with wine. I had bought a bottle of 2001 […]
