I’m on a cucumber juice in cocktails kick lately so naturally it was time to use it in a margarita with this version of a Cucumber Jalapeño Cilantro Margarita. I LOVE THIS MARGARITA! A couple weekends ago I made this margarita, snapped a picture of it with my phone (ok, yes a fairly ugly picture,…
Greek Chopped Salad
This Greek Chopped Salad is sort of a cross between two salads that have already appeared here on the blog, my Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad and my Greek Inspired Leftover Salad. While each recipe share some of the ingredients, this time around I made a delicious greek vinaigrette and used my favorite ingredients from each…
Watermelon Gazpacho
I originally posted this recipe for Watermelon Gazpacho when I first started this blog back in June of 2013. I made it again this past week and it’s so good, I wanted to re-share it with you since I’m sure no one ever saw it before. That’s probably a good thing since the original photos;…

Watermelon Cucumber & Burrata Salad

The ingredients might seem a little unusual together…watermelon, cucumber, grapefruit, and burrata cheese, on a bed of arugula, but it works. I first had a similar salad at a restaurant here in town, Et Voila. It was the special salad of the day and sounded very…
Pear Cucumber Cooler
This Pear Cucumber Cooler is my version of a cocktail I had at the Palihouse out in Hollywood a couple months ago. I really enjoyed a delicious cocktail that had pear vodka and muddled cucumbers and mint in it. I jotted down the ingredients from the menu so I could try to recreate it at…
