Roasted beets Roasted beet-carrot salad

We went to the farmer's market yesterday. I have been there a few times before but this was the most variety and the best produce so far. At least twenty-five varieties of tomatoes, multi-colored sweet peppers, squash of all shapes and sizes, fres...

Krispie treats Krispier and Healthier

We're moving next week. Cleaning out the kitchen means discovering goodies that were pushed to the back of the cupboards and forgotten. An almost full bag of marshmallows that I bought for our camping trip, wheat puffs left over from my home made...

Purple cabbage Muthias with rasa

We have a cabbage situation in our house. I don't particularly like cabbage. A doesn't particularly like cabbage. But somehow, these sneaky little things always end up in our grocery cart. So I made muthias again. What was unexpected this ...

Pozolicious

Jaklumen gave me the idea to make a vegan version of this heartwarming pork and hominy soup. I trolled the web and combined ingredients from all the recipes I found. Except for the shrooms. Mushhrooms in a pozole just don't sound right. Ingre...

Basic Hearth Bread Soup and bread

This is the first time I've tried baking a propah artisan bread. Not a ciabatta, or a focaccia, or even the artisan look-alike no knead bread. No sir, this is the basic hearth bread from The Bread Bible. It starts with a starter. The starter f...

Summer Cranberry almond couscous with grilled squash

A meal inspired by summer and sunflowers. You know how those chefs on Food Network go on and on about texture and color and the tart, sweet and salty flavors coming together in a dish? This dish is a perfect study in all that and more. The r...

Roasted tomato tortilla soup

Making corn tortillas at home without a tortilla maker is NOT fun. This time, I stumbled upon an easy solution. Just add a couple of tablespoons of all purpose flour to each cup of masa harina. Makes kneading and rolling out the tortillas a breeze...

Blueberry gingerbread cupmuffins

Adapted from the post punk kitchen recipe. I'm not really sure about the difference between muffins and cupcakes, except that muffins have less sugar and no icing. Isa's gingerbread cupcakes seem perfectly suited to become muffins. Adding blueber...
