We make these amazingly delicious burgers for special occasions, small summer celebrations or when entertaining. However, they’re simple enough to make anytime if you have more self control than I do. These were one of Brad’s and my favorite meals for years but I could never get a decent picture before we devoured them. Five…
Poached Salmon with Creamy Dill Mustard Sauce
This elegant meal takes less than 30 minutes to put together and yet is impressive enough for entertaining. This is a great dinner for nights when you don’t want to turn on the oven but still crave a home cooked meal. It’s another Home Sweet Jones original from 2013 that I’m pulling out of the…
The Poinsetta: A Classic Holiday Champagne Cocktail
Holiday party season is here and this festive sparkling Champagne cocktail is my favorite way to impress guests without much fuss. The classic Poinsettia is a beautiful drink bubblin over with traditional holiday flavor that is deceptively simple to prepare. Seasonal flavors of orange and cranberry are the perfect compliment to a celebratory glass of Champagne…
Carrot, Zucchini and Squash Ribbons
Colorful, peppery, and garlicky, this dish hits all the requirements for a Jones favorite. This recipe is one of the first I posted when we started this blog but the pictures were awful so I’m pulling it up from the archive in the hopes I can convince you to make it. This recipe is so…
Spanish Grape and Cilantro Chicken
You really need to make this chicken. Probably tonight but, if you already have plans, later this week is okay, too. I understand why you haven’t made it yet – the pictures that accompanied the recipe when I originally posted it back in 2014 were pretty awful. Evidence is under the recipe below. Even these…
Simple Heirloom Tomato Salad
OK, this isn’t so much a recipe as inspiration for a really delicious salad. Summer officially starts today and what better way to celebrate than with bowl of fresh tomatoes with just a whisper of basil, balsamic, and seasoning to enhance their flavor? This salad tastes like sunshine. The gorgeous colors of this dish make it…
Caprese Chicken with Reduced Balsamic Drizzle
This is one of those dishes that comes off so fancy but requires so little work. Also very little creativity. You all know I love Caprese everything – tomato, basil and mozzarella are such a classic, easy choice -so pairing those flavors with simple baked chicken and a zingy sweet balsamic reduction are a no-brainer…
Moroccan Red Lentil and Chickpea Stew
This colorful stew is rich with Moroccan flavors. The sweet apricot, creamy garbanzo and complex spices are all reminiscent of my favorite Moroccan chicken tagine but this vegan version is updated for a simplified, weekend-friendly preparation. The spice mix is key. Ras el Hanout is a traditional Moroccan spice blend which loosely translates to “top…
Champagne Mule with Homemade Ginger Syrup
Days are getting longer, weather is getting warmer, and I’m getting thirstier for a refreshing cocktail with a little sweetness and a little more bite. We started making this Champagne Mule last summer for lazy weekend brunches on the patio. You guys know how much I love all kinds of mules – this bubbly version…
Keto Thai-Style Coconut Shrimp Soup
I always feel a little guilty in January when the weather in LA is warm and sunny but the rest of the country is buried in snow and ice. I can’t do anything about the weather but I can offer this recipe for a warming, comforting bowl of Thai-inspired, keto-friendly soup. This is a great…
