For when you’re looking for something to grill on the BBQ or trying to use that specialty piece of equipment in the back of tour pantry.
I’m a big fan of stuffed peppers. They’re great as a side dish, on salads, mixed in with eggs and potatoes, cooked inside of burritos, really the sky is the limit! There’s a plethora of different peppers, cheeses, cooking methods, and recipe inspirations to choose […]
My local grocery store has started carrying Cubanelle peppers. They call them “Cubanelles,” so I’m going to follow suit. Although you’ll also see them listed as Cuban or Cubana peppers. They look like a cross between banana peppers and Anaheim peppers with a similarly mild […]
Avocado dip is one of my favorite things to make. This might age me… But, if I could only have one food on a desert island? It would probably be avocados. Or maybe potatoes. When am I ever only going to be able to eat […]
I’m a big fan of salmon. I grew up on the West coast, so it’s ingrained in my culinary formative years. I don’t tend to eat much meat these days. Especially seafood that’s not great in this regional area. But it’s my go-to when I […]

It’s officially spring. The price of eggs has skyrocketed lately, but I cannot fathom a world without eggs. I’ve had chickens a couple of times and have gone whole swaths of my life where I pretty much lived on eggs. They’re a hearty food that’s […]
