Pull apart tender Balsamic Beef Roast is made in the crock pot for the easiest way to make and serve full flavored meal for company without spending hours in the kitchen.

 

Pull part tender Balsamic Beef Roast is a super easy recipe to pop in the crock pot early on a busy work day or a weekend when you know you’ll be unavailable to spend hours in the kitchen but you still are having guests for dinner.  Its tender, succulent and full of flavor, your guests will love the comfort food and will think you spent a lot of time putting it together. (Kind of a win win don’t you think?)

This recipe for balsamic Beef Roast is from an ancient crock-pot recipe booklet that my Grandma Hyde used for all of her cooking.  I did take out some of the sugar that was originally called for because the balsamic vinegar adds enough sweetness you really don’t need it.  (Funny how older recipes used so much more sugar than we do today.)…

Healthy Korean BBQ Street tacos are a creation after hitting some of the local food trucks here in Los Angeles.  There are so many great food truck options, but the tacos at the Korean BBQ truck seriously had me craving them for days after having them.  When S.Pellegrino® asked me to be a part of their Taste Guide Campaign, highlighting local food trends and inspirations, I knew hitting up some of the local food trucks would be my first destination.

This is the second year S.Pellegrino®  has done this event, this year partnering with Bon Appetit and having famous chef’s  April Bloomfield (NYC’s The Spotted Pig) and Ludo Lefevbre (LA’s Trois Mec) come up with special recipes for their culinary event in NYC, you can find out more about that here….

Tray of tender juicy Chili Lime chicken with a sauce to dip into!

It’s BBQ season and today I’m sharing a recipe for Grilled Chili Lime Chicken.  It is based on a salad from Central City Cafe in Los Angeles.  The menu item is long gone from their menu, but the flavors of this chili lime marinade have stuck with me over the years.

The sauce for this chili lime Grilled Chicken marinade has several flavor boosts but together they give a balanced profile, sweet, salty, citrusy with a wee bit of heat. (you can adjust the heat by the amount of pepper flakes you add.)…
