A Week In Napa – Part 3

by

One of the highlights of my week in Napa was a trip to Cakebread Cellars for a Wine & Food Pairing Experience.  The only bad part of this experience was the torrential downpour that I encountered on my drive up the St. Helena Highway to Rutherford and the Cakebread Cellars. Once inside the tasting room with […]

Eggs For Breakfast

by

Eggs, toast, and roasted asparagus all in one pan and perfect for a freezing-cold morning breakfast. The snow is back and it was unpredicted.  Weather forecasters often get a bad rap  for not predicting our weather correctly and today is a classic example of why!  On last nights weather report, on two different channels, snow […]

A Week In Napa – Part 2

by

Here we go…part 2 of my week in Napa. The “Wine” part.  The part where we’ll talk about wines and vineyards and tasting rooms.  I like this part!  Let me start by saying that it is quite difficult to choose which vineyards and tasting rooms to visit in this area.  95% of Napa Valley’s 400+ […]

A Week In Napa

by

Recently I had the pleasure of spending a week in Napa, California.  Most of us are familiar with the name “Napa”.  It conjures up visions of countless vineyards and tasting rooms complete with limos whisking groups of fun-loving tasters from tasting room to tasting room, empty nesters strolling through the wineries, sipping glasses of Cab whilst enjoying each […]

Berry Crisp

by

I love fruit crisps.  After making this sweet, mixed berry crisp with real vanilla beans, cardamom, cinnamon and a pecan crunch topping I’m certain they rank at the top of my favorites list.  I even like the way the juice bubbles up and over the edges.  These sweet crisps would make a great non-traditional Valentine’s Day […]

Napa Foodie Tour

by

Recently I visited Napa, California, by far the best known of the Cali wine regions.  I spotted winery after winery along The Silverado Trail and Highway 29.  What I want you to  know is that some of the countries best restaurants are here too!  I wanted to try a few but where to begin?  I […]

Special Oatmeal Cookies

by

After writing my post about steel cut oats I couldn’t stop thinking about oatmeal cookies.  Do you ever have one of those cravings that just will not go away?  I didn’t want another type of cookie, no chocolate chip, no shortbread, no brownies either.  I was totally and completely craving special oatmeal cookies!  So guess […]
