This past weekend Rick and I celebrated our six year anniversary by spending the weekend at a bed and breakfast in Capitola while our amazing neighbors played with our kids. We had the best time relaxing, surfing (for Rick) and eating delicious food.
Turkey, Spinach Cranberry Cream Cheese Pitas
January 3, 2014 by 10 Comments
Our gym had a Christmas party last month that included catered meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I wasn’t aware of this perk until my yoga instructor mentioned it after our 11:00 am class, but when I heard about the free food I was obviously all in. As much as I love to cook, I equally love a break; I missed the breakfast but enjoyed the lunch and brought my husband and kids back for dinner too. Among other things, the caterers offered these delicious turkey, spinach and cranberry cream cheese pitas at lunch and I think I ate about ten because they were that good. I have been craving them ever since and have created my own copycat recipe.

When I hosted Friendsgiving at my house last month one of my best friends Janine brought this amazing appetizer, roasted tomato & thyme burrata crostini. We practically fought over the last one, it was embarrassing. She was kind enough to let me share her recipe here, just in time for Christmas. The recipe is simple, delicious and sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

I would like to share with you one of my all time favorite pasta recipes. I have been making it for years and it is seriously delicious. I usually make the pasta with butternut squash but you could easily use kabocha squash, pumpkin, delicata squash or acorn squash instead.
