  • Simple Spicy Orange Stir Fry

    Oh man, this stir fry is a winner! I’ve made a fairly elaborate orange stir fry before, which I certainly like. But lately (especially while my pantry is packed away and I’m cooking at other people’s homes), simplicity trumps all.

  • Fizzy Prosecco Sunrise

    Need a sparkly drink for New Year’s Eve?!  You could sip this as the ball drops, or the next morning during brunch.  I made this for Christmas morning, and I’m so happy with it.  It’s a cross between a tequila sunrise and a mimosa.  Sold.  Simple, gorgeous, and tasty! 

  • Strawberry Orange Spa Water

    Yes, I’m basically posting water as a recipe today.  But I promise it’s really really good water.  Does that help? The hotel where I stayed in Monterey had a giant container of this infused water in the lobby.  I didn’t notice it until my second day there, and I managed to have MANY cups of…

  • Orange Whiskey Brown Sugar Cake

    I put whiskey in a cake.   A really really nommy cake. If you’ve been reading for awhile, you may have noticed that I enjoy a boozy birthday cake.  This past birthday I drenched a blueberry cake in Frangelico.  The year before I drenched an almond cake in amaretto.  I thought I’d keep with my boozy…

  • Orange & Red Onion Salad

    Hello, lovely readers!  I have a few quick updates about the blog before I get on to the food!  First, I’m working on updating my pages to make them a little more viewer-friendly (super exciting changes like altering fonts and adding pictures on my recipes page – I’m quite the techie.)    I’m adding more…

  • Secret-Ingredient Orange Julius Smoothie

    Welcome to my first (maybe annual) Juice & Smoothie Week!  This week, nothing but fresh juices and delicious smoothie concoctions.   Why are we celebrating such a festive occasion?  Well, for several reasons.  First, I have an excess of fruit in my freezer 🙂  Second, I have sooo many ideas for juices and smoothies and…

  • Stir-Fry with Spicy Orange Sauce

      A favorite restaurant re-creation success!  A Chinese restaurant that I frequently got takeout from makes this wonderful spicy orange chicken.  It’s one of those things that’s so good, my boyfriend and I were incapable of going there and not ordering it.    Their irresistible sauce was a very unnatural bright red hue, and was…
