    Hometown Recipes: Grilled Pineapple Salsa

    By Erin Walgamuth

    On Saturday afternoon my daughter asked if we could have tacos for dinner. We all love Mexican food so, of course, the answer was, “Sure”. I already had everything I needed to make the tacos except salsa.

    Hometown Recipes: Orange Cilantro Vinaigrette

    By Erin Walgamuth

    My family and I went to my sister’s house for Mother’s Day as has been our tradition for many years. She asked me to bring a salad and dressing. I purchased mixed greens, red onion, tomato, cucumber, a nicely ripened avocado and raw sliced almonds on Saturday.

    Hometown Recipes: Spaghetti Squash With Vegetable And Ground Turkey Sauce

    By Erin Walgamuth

    We are like a lot of families in Santa Clarita in that our daughter is involved in sports and also has a tutor session once a week. Consequently, two evenings a week or more during golf season, dinner time can be a bit hectic. One of the meals I like to make during the school year is Spaghetti Squash with some type of sauce.

    Hometown Recipes: Arugula Pesto With Toasted Pecans

    By Erin Walgamuth

    altI love arugula. If you asked me what are three things I always have in my refrigerator, arugula would be one of them. I put it on my tacos...weird I know. I put it in omelets and on sandwiches too. I simply find the peppery taste irresistible. A couple of springs ago I decided to make pesto as a side for the steaks my husband was going to put on the grill.

     

    Hometown Recipes: Roasted Asparagus with Herb and Garlic Olive Oil

    By Erin Walgamuthalt

    Spring has sprung! I know this because our grass needs to be mowed once a week. I know this because when I open the window in our breakfast nook the heavenly scent of jasmine wafts through the screen and perfumes the room. I love spring.

    Hometown Recipes: Pureed Cauliflower

    alt

    By Erin Walgamuth

    This week's recipe is super simple and is made using only four ingredients. I make this cauliflower dish often instead of mashed potatoes. You can add more parmesan cheese and butter if you like. I don't add extra salt as the butter and cheese provide enough for our taste, but you can add more if you prefer.

    Hometown Recipes: Lemon Mascarpone Desserts With Lemon Curd

    When the weather starts to warm up I always seem to want to cook with lemons. My favorites are Meyer Lemons. They are sweeter and have a deeper colored flesh than the ones we typically buy in the grocery store. I have a Meyer Lemon tree in my backyard that I baby all winter long by stinging Christmas lights along the branches to keep it warm. My husband built a special wooden brace for the tree which he uses to drape a tarp over when we have temperatures in the low thirties. I realize this may sound like a lot of work for a citrus tree, but the end result is well worth it.

    Hometown Recipes: Asparagus And Onion Quiche

    By Erin Walgamuth

    Every once in a while, usually on a sunny Sunday morning, I will make a vegetable quiche for breakfast. This quiche is especially good as it is made with asparagus and sweet brown onions. I will sometimes add crumbled bacon or thinly sliced chicken sausage. We have served this quiche on Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day. It is wonderful as a main dish with a salad or served as an appetizer.
