Go-To Brussels Sprouts
The name says it all – one of my favorite ways to prepare Brussels sprouts, as it's quicker than roasting, taking just a few minutes. When I need to do advance prep, as for example when these are part of a somewhat involved meal, I brine my prepared Brusslies for a few hours (or even a few days) in a quart of cold water - or enough cold water to cover by at least an inch -- to which I've added two or three hefty pinches of salt. It preserves the color nicely without making the outer leaves mushy (a downside of blanching them). I picked the brining trick up from the 1943 "Joy of Cooking." Mrs Rombauer never lets me down. I hope you enjoy these. ;o)
Kickin' Corn with Avocado Cream
I made this recipe because of my love for avocados and corn, particularly in the summer when sweet corn is in season. If sweet corn is not in season, not to worry, frozen corn works as well in the winter months.

"Special Occasion" Bacon and Bean Pot
When I was a kid (elementary school age), this was our dinner (with copious amounts of white bread and soft butter) on the night of the Academy Awards each year. My mom, dad, and I would sit at a 'special event" card table with the fold-out legs and matching fold-out chairs in front of the (1950's style) TV screen and watch the whole program. I could stay up late for the occasion. Needless to say, it has a special place in my food memories.

Sweet Potato Fries with Goat Cheese and Raspberry Sauce
Who doesn't love food trucks? Here in LA they are a way of life. They have their own Facebook pages and blogs and even have their own day of the month in Venice Beach! Well my own personal favorite was called Fresh Fries, an entire menu dedicated only to avant grade Fries. Unfortunately the truck is no longer and I have had to fend for myself in trying to recreate this most unusual late-night, ultra-indulgent food masterpiece, although to look at it you would think it more of a massacre. All I can tell you is that you have to taste it to believe it. It is the perfect balance of salt, sweet, creamy, sour mouth-watering goodness you will ever stumble upon after a 10 mile bike ride and a 5 mile hike. You have been warned :)
