For when you’re looking for a particular kind of meal.
I’ve been in a cooking rut for a little while. Although the peppers in my garden are just beginning to ripen. So, it’s almost the season for making anything and everything with spicy food. Today, I have a couple of flaming jade peppers. Flaming jades […]
I have to admit that I haven’t felt inspired to cook in a little while. The problem with not feeling culinarily stimulated, though, is that you still actually have to eat. And for me, that oftentimes means that I’m too busy and work too long […]
Macaroni and cheese is hands down one of my favorite things to make. During the winter and cold, blustery times of the year, I make macaroni and cheese at least once a month. Once you get the hang of making a roux, it’s a simple […]
I will be the first to admit that I can be a cheese snob. When I’m sick, I even have people who will offer to bring me cheese instead of soup. But, for all intents and purposes? Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, and any other kind […]

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 […]
