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
This is my favorite pizza to date. Incredibly fast, incredibly delicious. Steeping the garlic and basil in the olive oil makes it incredibly flavorful. It uses stuff I will have in my CSA box for much of the summer: cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil. Huge hit with the husband and kid. Win! 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes, … Continue reading
Yes, I know. I’m maxing out on the pizza. But it’s easy! And quick! And easy to make vegetarian! Except I buckled and used a little bacon in this one. It was good, but I would have been happy without. I googled Brussels Sprouts Pizza and got a bunch of different recipes. This one is … Continue reading
My parents took a road trip to Texas from California (!) to visit with us and attend my daughter’s 2nd birthday bash. After all of the excitement of a crazy toddler fest, we decided to stay home the next morning and cook breakfast: scones, strawberries, and quiche. I had run across this recipe and decided … Continue reading
