Sausage Mushroom Pepper Pizza

There are so many options for pizza toppings but if I had to choose one favorite, it would have to be sausage and mushroom. Or Margherita pizza. They both rank equally high on my list but today, I'm going to shine the light on sausage and mushroom pizza. But of course, this is not your ordinary sausage and mushroom. I added a few more elements including balsamic roasted peppers, buffalo mozzarella, and lemony arugula to give you a classier version of the original. This sausage mushroom pepper pizza is, in my book, one super delicious pizza.

It is the perfect spring/summer side dish to take to any cookout or barbeque as it pairs well with hamburgers, barbeque chicken or pork, and steaks.

I think the anticipation is partly what makes it so great, honestly. But now, if I want more Girl Scout cookie flavors throughout the year, I'm gonna have them in cocktail form. Next, I'm gonna have to make a Samoas (or Caramel Delights) cocktail, since that is actually my favorite Girl Scout cookie of all time.

Hearty Pesto Tortellini and Sausage Soup

This heart pesto tortellini and sausage soup will sure will warm your soul. A bowl of soup is always my favorite comforting recipe. I enjoy soups specially on a rainy or cold day. Here in Los Angeles, it doesn't get that cold, but when it rains it is my excuse to dust off my cast iron pot and start cooking. This is a very easy recipe and very versatile, since you can add any veggies you like. I used mushrooms, onions, carrots, celery I had on hand and added a handful of baby spinach at the end. I used fresh pesto tortellini pasta for this recipe, but you may used cheese tortellini as well. I like to first sautee the onions, sausage and mushroom. Then add the carrots, celery and dry herbs before I add the veggie stock and cooked beans, then let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Then you may add the tortellini, pesto sauce and spinach. It is now ready to be served, add some freshly grated Pecorino Romano on top and slice of nice warm rustic bread.

Blood Orange Jam

Blood Oranges are a beautiful fruit that are named from their deep ruby, orange and pink flesh. Blood oranges have a sweeter taste than regular oranges, They are only available for a short time span each year, so why not take the opportunity to preserve nature’s goodness while we can? December usually marks the beginning of the season when grocery stores carry blood oranges, and the season runs for a couple of months. We like to use this delicious, beautiful jam on toast, sandwiches, pancakes, waffles, ect... This recipe is easy, and makes great use of this seasonal fruit. The jam is canned so you can enjoy the delicious fruit of your labor all spring, summer and fall!

Pineapple Mint Spitzer

March is Women Empowerment Month, so to celebrate I created a new mint flavored cocktail and creating the Mini Women EmpowerMint Bevvie Series :) This drink was actually inspired by a pineapple tattoo I have, believe it or not. Years ago I saw a quote which read, "Ladies, be a pineapple. Stand tall, be sweet, and wear a crown." I absolutely loved that and it stuck with me for so long I ended up getting a pineapple tattoo on my left heel to remind me everyday. Knowing I wanted to use pineapple juice in this empowermint cocktail, I knew I had to incorporate the leaves into a crown garnish. If you make this drink, it's obviously optional, but I hope one day this drink shows up at a Galentine's Day brunch, a bachelorette party or bridal shower, or maybe just two girlfriends sipping on them together on a Sunday as they do life together crowns and all. However, a mint sprig is another great/easier option for a garnish.

Sauvignon blanc goes well with goat cheese and brie cheese with a sparkling wine or champagne wine. .Light body red wines like Pinot Noirs are paired with more nutty cheese like gruyere.More bolder red wines like Cabernets and Zinfandels, goes well with aged cheddar or one of my favorite is the Toscano cheese. This is a nutty cheese that pairs well with all red wines.
