Bistro Eats | San Marzano Lamb Stew with Meyer Lemon Risotto

Date Nite. Every. Friday. Night. And can I make a confession?! It still gives me butterflies. Because last week was cold and stormy, Mr. RGBistro made a request to go someplace cozy. (Can you see why I love this man?!) We were about to head down to Britta’s Café (our usual haunt) when I suggested [...]

Mandarin, Meyer Lemon and Balsamic Glazed Duck Breasts | Around Our RGB Table

In Spring of ’09, Mr. RGBistro and I snuck out of the country and had a little rendezvous in the South of France. Maybe it was the thrill of being in a new relationship, or the fact that we were in. the. South. of. France… but regardless, that trip was magical from beginning to end. [...]

Blueberry Buckle | Smith Bites

I turn into a whiny !@#$ when I get sick. Somehow, I’m also more productive. Between sniffling and sneezing on Saturday, I made a pot of chicken stock (and saved the fat for a batch of flaxseed dog biscuits), harvested and roasted about 5 lbs. of garden tomatoes, made a batch of tomato soup, roasted [...]

I knew I’d marry Mr. RGBistro before we were even dating. A couple of years ago we had arranged to spend a mid-week evening together. We’d been bragging about our home-cook skills and decided it was time to flex them. Mr. RGB volunteered his bachelor kitchen, which I accepted because it seemed a lot better [...]

I really hope your Saturday morning routine is a little like ours; sleeping in, snuggling with the dog and steaming lattes… Breakfast also comes with a garden view, a crossword puzzle and morning fetch with Britta the weimaraner.  – Our garden [...]

   Poll: How many of you eat better at home than you do at a restaurant? Around here, and with rare exception, Friday night is always date nite. Recently,  we had tickets to see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, so we had dinner at the nearby Scott’s [...]

Almost Springtime at the RGB

The Equinox isn’t until Saturday, but with the time change and the warm weather, we’re already sportin’ our shorts and flip-flops. Even the dog is getting her zoomies on. Britta the weimaraner getting some mid-afternoon fetch-time in.   With the warmer weather, the tarragon and chives are officially back on the block! And here I [...]

Gifting from the Garden

I won’t lie, skipping Christmas this year due to our tight budgets was difficult. If there’s a bright side, it’s realizing that I’m absolutely grateful for what I already have, which doesn’t cost a dime. I did manage to scrape together some home-made gifts for select friends and family: among them, ribbon-wrapped boxes with most [...]
