Corned Beef Tacos for St. Patrick’s Day
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, one of our favorite holidays, I decided to serve corned beef. Growing up, it wasn’t a true St. Patty’s Day without corned beef on the menu.

Salmon Dinner Salad with Roasted Jalapeno Peppers
We’re trying to shed a few pounds over here in the Madness household, so we’re incorporating a bit more “lighter” fare into the menu, and it is working.

Calivirgin Extra Virgin Olive Oil – with Jalapeno Peppers
On our recent trip to Italy, we visited several wineries that also produced olive oil. This was a wonderful surprise because, while we love wine, we love olive oil even more. Especially fresh olive oil. The process of making olive oil in Italy is interesting, with the locals pouring out at harvest time to help produce the oil, donating their time for olive oil in return. The extra virgin olive oil in Italy was so delicious, we brought as much home as we could carry. Continue reading
