Settle in, folks. We’re about to make internet history! Story #1: A few months ago, our grocery store had these pretzel rolls. They were delicious. Simple and chewy and amazing for meatball subs. We ate them for two weeks straight, then they disappeared from the store never to be seen again. We lamented their loss … Continue reading
I’ve decided to try out a new type of post. Much of what I cook on a weekly basis is a repeat or adaptation of recipes I’ve already blogged, or sometimes a new recipe that I haven’t perfected yet. I realized that while that might not be interesting from a “I want to make this … Continue reading
Hooray for Pinterest! I have found some fantastic food blogs via other pinners. This one comes from Pinch of Yum and includes a few changes based on what I had in the fridge that week from the CSA – but it is mostly intact. This is a delicious dish – use the full amount of Tom … Continue reading
On the surface, this recipe is not so different from the other hash/roasted veggie meat combos Tiffany and I have posted in the past. But it really didn’t occur to me to cook the sausage and the veggies in the same pan until I found this recipe: Sausages with Acorn Squash and Onions. This recipe … Continue reading
I know bacon wrapped pork sounds like deep-fried butter, but it’s actually really good and not at all greasy. The bacon really acts as a seasoning and sealant for the lean tenderloin. We usually don’t eat the bacon – it’s cooked, but not crispy (our dogs, however, have a field day). But the bacon grease … Continue reading
I’m vague-ing it up a bit on the title because this dish is a work in progress. I started with this recipe. And can I tell you how sad I am that the print version of Everyday Food is going away? It’s become one of my very favorite food mags. Sniff. Anyway, the November issue … Continue reading
Prior to moving to Texas 10 years ago, I had never even tasted a tamale, much less developed an appreciate for how sublime a good tamale really is. And prior to getting the idea to make my own tamales, I had not developed an appreciation for how much work goes into producing these tiny little … Continue reading
I never thought I’d say this, but I love ratatouille! I’ve always found it kind of gloppy. But when I had leftovers from the tart, I julienned them and found out that done just right, there is nothing gloppy or yucky about it! So this is more about my process than the ingredients, which are … Continue reading
Okay, so you know how I said I don’t make pastry? Well, this time I did and I did not explode. It turns out pate brisée is a breeze! The only thing I did different was blend the flour, salt, and chilled butter in the food processor rather than trying to cut it in. Then I … Continue reading
When we get a lot of lettuce from the CSA, especially that beautiful red Romain, I like to do a “roll your own springrolls” night. There’s no set recipe, just a bunch of stuff out on plates that we can roll up in rice paper and eat. Here’s a list of possible ingredients: cooked shrimp … Continue reading
