In addition to working tirelessly on getting my first cookbook ready for publication, I’ve been posting a bit less lately due to an adorable addition to our family! We got a beautiful ten week-old puppy! Meet Pixie! This is Pixie in the kitchen being watched over by her new big brother, our eight year-old black…

Buy MDB Hot Sauce!
Two new products have been added to the M Delish Boutique shop! Enjoy some Jalapeno Hot Pepper Sauce or Garlic Cayenne Pepper Sauce on your favorite dishes! These go great on Tex-Mex and Mexican foods, in soups or stews, and as a table condiment. These two varieties are the first of five hot sauces I’ll…
Tool Day: Herbs
When your recipe calls for fresh herbs, don’t fret! The herb stripper makes clipping herbs a fragrant breeze. The simple principle behind how it works makes one wonder why this isn’t in every kitchen. You can order it here. I find that for tricky herbs like thyme, this works a bit better if the herbs…

Tool Day: Avocado
This costs very little, and makes avocados quite a bit easier to enjoy. For smaller avocados you can use it sideways, and larger top to bottom.
Sunday Dinner
We hosted guests last week, and Sunday dinner put me back together. I prepared three homemade baguettes, my husband’s family recipe for meat and mushroom sauce, and red wine & herb fresh pasta.
Tool Day: Compost
This is my humble companion, my counter top compost bucket. My lovely little helper, who stores my produce bits, orange peels, egg shells, coffee grounds and all that other good stuff that you want to keep out of the trash, and handy to toss in the outdoor compost (or your recycling bin if you don’t,…
