Celebrate the end of winter — and the arrival of fresh spring produce — with this martini made with seasonal Meyer lemons and rosemary. Spring is officially here!

Dear Winter: What’s up with you? The past few years, you’ve been pretty mild, sometimes a little chilly, but that never lasted long. This year? Let’s just say, I don’t remember moving to Antarctica. The cold shoulder is getting old. Let’s move on and try again next year, okay? Signed, The Redhead Baker. Spring can’t…
Monday morning again, huh? Are you as “thrilled” about it as I am? The past weekend was BEAUTIFUL, in every way. The weather, the food, taking Liam out for a fun adventure … After nearly a month of temperatures in the high 90s plus humidity, the mid-80s over the weekend was just gorgeous. The food?…
Considering the blog is named “The Redhead Baker,” you’re not surprised that I’m a little bit Irish, are you? Only about 50% (the other half is Scottish). I love celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day. I bake Irish soda bread. I love to have a slice fresh out of the oven with a smear of Kerrygold Irish…

I have to confess, I think I have a problem. I think I’m addicted to sage. I use it every chance I can. I love it. I typically pair it with foods associated with autumn, like butternut squash. When I saw it paired with lemon in this chicken dish in Food Network Magazine, I put…

I recently participated in a discussion among other food bloggers about the food at casual dining chain restaurants. Places like The Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, or Applebees. The food is decent, but doesn’t always quite live up to your expectations. The discussion turned into a question: “Have you ever eaten at a chain restaurant and thought, ‘I…
One more post about my Mother’s Day brunch. I saw a slideshow on FoodNetwork.com of Mother’s Day dessert suggestions.

I didn’t want to make a cake (I was making so much food already; baking…
As much as I love the flavor combination of lemon and dill on salmon, I wanted a different flavor with last night’s dinner. I searched the web for salmon recipes, and saw a lot for salmon with honey and Dijon mustard sauce. However, I can’t stand mustard, and don’t keep any in the house. There…
Yes, I know, I did a tilapia post a week ago. But, we bought a two-pound bag of individual frozen filets, and there wasn’t much else in the freezer. But, I like this recipe, because it’s a quick, easy weekday meal. The fish cooks in 15 minutes. I chose to serve it with frozen veggies…
