Welcome to My World

Welcome to my kitchen! Ready or not, tonight I am sending friends and family the link to my newest hangout. . .Katies Passion Kitchen. There are sooooo many things I would like to present, organize, display, talk about, etc. BUT I thought I'd invite you over to my kitchen NOW while the page is still in its infancy. I'm interested in all of your suggestions as I just started playing around with this a couple of weeks ago. It will be a great platform for me to share my favorite things with you. Food. Wine. Music. More. We'll see what happens! In the meantime, click the "play" button on the little custom "radio" (upper right), listen to my favorite songwriter, composer/producer/ guitarist BENISE as well as some other great Spanish guitar music. Also, be sure to check out the links to some of my favorite online places including the "BENISE CRUISE" link (scroll down and see "Katie's Online Faves" on the right). Teri, Brianna, Julie and I have made our reservations for the cruise coming up in December. We invite all interested parties to join us for a guaranteed memorable journey featuring Roni Benise, nouveau flamenco guitarist Ottmar Liebert and violinist Karen Briggs. Of course, I'm preparing for yet another passion overflow. X O X O

So, kick back, relax and enjoy the music, the food and the ambience. I want you to always be "at home" in my kitchen.

Cheers!

  1. Hi Katie!

    Thanks for sending me the link! That marinated grilled salmon has my name written ALL over it! MMMmmm.... Where can I place my order? :) The desserts look absolutely savory, but the deep chocolate brownies with fresh cherries and strawberries are making me drool on this keyboard, haha! And, the sangria sounds like a wonderfully refreshing summer cocktail. I love your page - this is awesome! Although, if I can suggest anything - can you post some of your infamous pasta recipes that you think I might be able to handle? Thanks, again!

    Much love,
    Christine

    P.S. Step aside Rachel Ray! :D
