I don’t often roast vegetables on the side. I cook so many vegetarian recipes as it is, that adding more vegetables on the side almost seems superfluous. These Tahini Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower are the standout dish this Christmas. It’s one of those recipes where […]
I like to test out new products. I’m in the restaurant industry. There’s very little difference between high-end consumer and low-end professional culinary products. And, quite frankly, you don’t have to ask me twice if I want a fancy schmancy new red Dutch oven (this […]
Being in the restaurant industry, the holidays are always incredibly busy. No one wants to cook when they’re about to cook for the whole family! So, I’ve been in quick and easy dish mode lately. My idea of a “simple” meal is anything that takes […]

I was perusing the grocery store this morning. Not my local grocery store, but my favorite out of the way grocery store with the best unusual produce. Now, daikon isn’t the most out there of ingredients! But I do live in rural Wisconsin and my […]
I have anaheims ripening in the garden. I’m quite fond of anaheims. I more commonly stuff queso fresco and/or quinoa in larger peppers. But I prefer the flavor of anaheims! Obviously enough to have grown quite a few in my porch garden. So, that is […]
