SAN DIEGO — For me, food is all about what you put into it and I bring my life's journey to my cooking. All these recipes are guidelines for you to make them your own, that's how I cook. I find something I like and put my own spin on it. So be adventurous, don't be shy, experiment. Just remember, you can always add more but you can never take it out.

Asian style
Turkey leftovers - white meat
Miso broth, comes in a carton or in concentrate
Slice the remaining white meat and poach in Miso broth that is on medium-low heat in a saucepan. Finish on cast iron stove top grill, if you don't have a stovetop grill you can finish in a hot skillet. Remove from heat and chop into small pieces then start building your taco.
Apple Pumkin pie 'N' Cream
Vanilla ice cream, about 2/3 of a 1/2 gallon give or take
1 slice Pumkin pie, chopped into small pieces
1 slice Apple pie, chopped into small pieces
First off there are no exact measurements or type of pie, this is just an idea. Let you ice cream soften, fold in apple pie and then pumkin pie. Don not over mix. Return mixture to ice cream container and put back in freezer for at least 1 hour. Now you ready to serve, take it to the next level with a drizzle of chocolate or carmel.
