I don’t always make tzatziki with English cucumbers, but it has become my go-to lately. You can easily substitute conventional American slicing cucumbers, but all of my usual grocery stores have switched to English ones! I often end up with odd ingredients when I go […]
I’m never entirely sure if I’m going to post nachos. Nachos are my cheat meal. They’re what I make tired at the end of the day after work. Probably in the dark in the middle of the night! They’re not necessarily something that I’m proud […]
A salmon burrito is not entirely out of my wheelhouse. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest with salmon everywhere. And I am perpetually nostalgic about wild caught seafood. A wine poached salmon with saffron rice burrito isn’t exactly what I imagined being on the […]

I have been almost making chowder for weeks! I usually do a seafood holiday. But this year I made fondue and spinach pie for Thanksgiving and am thinking a fondue-inspired lobster macaroni and cheese for Christmas. But, being halfway in between these two holidays, I […]

I’ve been craving fondue for weeks. I haven’t made it in ages, but my fondue pot has been staring at me lately! In order to stop staring longingly back at it I finally decided to make fondue for Thanksgiving. I was thinking about making some […]
