…For anyone who works in the restaurant/hotel/food business – you know that the Easter holiday is a huge money draw. Most full service restaurants expect to be at or near full capacity for a few solid hours, starting around noon and through to about 3pm. This depends on your business style and set up, obviously….
Burger Lounge (Temecula, CA)
Holy moly! I was **finally** able to dine here tonight with my son, Gavin. We had stopped by two weeks ago, unknowingly on their private soft opening ‘Friends and Family’ night. While we weren’t able to dine that night, my son and I vowed to stop by later the following week. Well fast forward two…
Country Gravy…SOS?
It’s funny how one can remember recipes from decades ago. One of the first recipes I learned as a cook in the Marines was “creamed beef” – or country gravy. Every morning, Every day. We were required to have our recipe in front of us at all times. Gather our mise en place. This was…
Creme Brulee!
I decided to make creme brulee on Saturday because my son has been BEGGING me to show him how to make it. When I worked at Zagara Italian Eatery, I made the creme brulee. And received much praise for it. So I wanted to share this simple recipe with you – my readers! Here is…
A Little Sweet Shop
In my travels abroad, I love stopping at new shops or a shop tucked away, off the beaten path. Antique shops, dive bars, or a small “Mom & Pop” restaurants. This past Monday, January 12th, 2015, I had traveled to Rancho Santa Margarita, California to pick up 400lb granite slab for my friend. Driving from…

However, when added to other recipes, bacon can enhance and intensify flavors. Today, I’m going to discuss a few examples of some…
Customized Menus…
So I have been toying with the idea of creating customized menu/meal plans for my viewers. I have experience in various styles of cuisine as well as dietary restrictions. Is there a demand for this? Please comment and let me know your thoughts. I think that having a menu plan would help those busy readers who need…
I love breakfast!
I’m pretty certain I am not alone when I claim that I have a passion for breakfast. Bacon, sausage, eggs, veggies, juice; seems like a staple anywhere you go. I usually try something different when I go out to eat for breakfast. But when I cook at home, scrambled eggs are my “go to” staple….
My First Posting!
So this is my first obligatory blog posting. I am venturing on this journey with a ‘blurry vision’ of what I want. I have this grand idea that I can grow this into a much bigger platform where I can share my ideas, recipes, menus, resources, and education with my viewers. I want to share…
