In northern California hot summer days fade into cool summer nights, long hours of daylight are perfect for cooking outdoors. Since we are in peak BBQ season and my husband is always up for manning the grill, I decided to work on a Sonoma-style Chimichurri sauce – a sauce originating in Argentina, specifically created for grilled meat.

Nicknamed the unofficial “Argentine BBQ Sauce” there are a lot of variations to be fo ..read more

A year and a half ago, my husband was declared healed from bladder cancer. It had been a long road, but we succeeded! Periodic check-ups are now a part of his life, and, so are foods for living cancer free. Recently, he had his third exam. These are always scary because there’s always the fear that it might have come back.   When the day came to get the results, we both held our breath. Oh, the relief when we heard the words “all clear” once again. Thank God!   But, the situation did highlight the obvious: While he’s cancer free now—and we worked so incredibly hard to get there–what ..read more
