Quite frankly, I don’t want to explain how to cook potatoes every time that I use them in a recipe. Potatoes are kind of like scrambled eggs where, once you know how to do it, you don’t really need an explanation every time. “Sauté potatoes” […]
I don’t always make sautéed potatoes their own recipe page. I tend to break up recipe into multiple pages when things are a little bit more complicated, when it would help to have a little bit more clarification, and/or when the recipe would just be […]
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 […]
