When Lidia’s recipe for this dish arrived in my inbox, my first thought was ‘chocolate and bread what?’…how could that be good!
There’s an interesting and exotic resort that’s just a stone’s throw from San Antonio. Zebras, giraffes and camels roaming the grounds are what you’ll see from the beautiful floor to ceiling windows that line the charming, elegant lodge at the Serengeti Resort.

Topless beaches, expensive yachts, and exotic sportscars will certainly catch your eye in the South of France, but the medieval village of St. Paul de Vence will capture your heart. St. Paul de Vence is a step back in time – the tiny village winds its way up a steep hillside –the views of the […]

The article takes a brief look at the origins of our favorite ‘local’ food—ever heard of the ‘chili queens’— but mainly focuses on a number of the delicious traditions we all enjoy. It’s a fun […]
I love making my own pasta, but often don’t take the time. I found a fabulous pasta at Central Market called ‘Rustichella d’Abruzzo’. Italian, of course! My son loves the spaghetti, and I’m hooked on the gnocchetti sardi. The texture, shape and taste are fabulous. I use these in place of spaghetti in ‘My Favorite […]

After three weeks of religiously following the Adkins diet, I confess! I cheated this weekend… Mike and I had to be in Houston Friday night for an auto dealers event (Mike’s a headhunter for dealers), and we made a mini-vacation out of it. (I do mean mini) We got a dynamite weekend rate at the […]
