The coriander kebobs were a huge hit the first time I made them!! I had a big group of friends out to my little beach house in Malibu, and we had big plans...to drink, and grill and chill for a full 48 hrs. Rough life, I know. I hadn't used…

You can kick up a simple chopped tomato bruschetta, by roasting the tomatoes! It brings out the tomato's natural sweetness and adds a toasty flavor too. I love a good bruschetta in the summer, because all the tomatoes are at the peak of their season! I am always looking for…

It's MONDAY and I am feeling it! We just started shooting my new series for Cooking Channel and we worked all weekend...lots of fun but those 5 am wakeups, yuck! When Monday hit, I was dreaming of a good margarita. Too bad I still don't get one...we are on the…
