One of my favorite sandwiches is a nice corned beef reuben. I love the contrast of flavors and textures, and there is so much going on in that sandwich you can’t help but love it, so why not enjoy it as a dip. I think dips are such a great thing, you can pretty much…

Saucy Cheeseburger Empanadas
This recipe is super easy, super delish, and tastes just like a cheeseburger! I don’t like to fry my empanadas, and for years I have been using a cream cheese dough to make mine baked, in the oven, but lately I have been using puffed pastry because I find it can replicate a traditional empanada…
Salmon Burgers with Beurre Blanc Sauce
One of the things I perfected a long time ago were sauces, long before they were a must for Culinary School, I taught myself how to make some pretty traditional ones, reading old cookbooks and good old trial and error, dating my old ass, long before there was internet, and you could Google and YouTube…

It can be a festive time and you can still enjoy entertaining without having to take out a second mortgage if you know where you…
Green Goddess Dressing
Back in the 70’s Green Goddess Dressing was served over big wedges of iceberg lettuce or in fancy restaurants over mixed greens. The origin of this dressing dates back to the 1920’s and hails from the famous Palace Hotel, in San Franscico, as a chef’s homage to a play of that time, called, you got it, “The…
