Chicken & Cheese Won-tacos! (Tacos Made with Wonton Wrappers)

By Deanna On December 2, 2010 · 5 Comments · In Appetizers, Cooking, Dinner, Lunch

The idea for the won-taco was born out of a contingency plan that we didn’t end up needing.  Mack and I bought a bunch of wontons wrappers when we were out shopping for the raviolis as a back-up plan just in case the pasta didn’t turn out well.  (Oh by the way, you can substitute […]

Butternut Squash Raviolis with Sage & Hazelnuts and No Oil Pesto Raviolis

By Deanna On November 22, 2010 · 3 Comments · In Cooking, Dinner

The first time I had butternut squash ravioli was a few years ago at a restaurant in SF called Kuleto’s.  It was my friend Jana’s birthday and she invited me and a few of our friends to dinner.  Jana worked at Kuleto’s at the time and so she knew the menu inside and out.  She […]

Stuffed & Baked Portobello Mushrooms with Homemade Pasta Sauce

This is hands down one of my favorite dinners.  I stole the idea for this dish after my friend, Patty made something similar at a dinner party at her house a few years ago.  The recipe is simple, inexpensive, and healthy.  It’s also vegetarian, so it’s a good one to make when you’re entertaining no-meat […]

16 Bean Soup with Ham

By Deanna On October 28, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Cooking, Dinner

We had our first rainy, autumn day in SF last weekend.  Mack and I decided to forgo our plans to find Halloween costumes on Sunday, and stayed in watching movies instead.  I usually hate the rain, and resent having to stay indoors, but on this particular day, I was glad to cuddle up and be […]
