I sort of made this recipe up as I went along, tasting and adjusting as necessary. I think I got it all though. The original recipe idea was duck, but I couldn’t find duck breasts anywhere and certainly not for lack of trying. I called grocery stores up to 50 miles away and still no [...]
The Polish get such a bad rap. How can you crack on a people that combines pasta with mashed potatoes? Yeesh. Throw some bacon in there, and you have serious comfort food, too. This was great, and it took about the time to make that it took the pierogies to boil. This is tagged as [...]

So we reached the last of the leftovers, except for a few pieces of turkey hiding in an aluminum foil package pushed towards the side of the fridge. Groceries have been bought for next week’s meals, and Thanksgiving is becoming a distant memory (until Christmas, that is, when I get to do the whole show [...]
I’ve been wanting to make my own marshmallows for some time, and thanks to Emeline over at Sugar Plum, I had a recipe I was brave enough to try. I used the marshmallows to top a creation that would be great without additions: butterscotch mashed sweet potato casserole. Ahh, love. Dessert masquerading as a vegetable. [...]

I really had a hankering for some potatoes, and wanted to make them the way I like them best – baked with a little coarse sea salt and creme fraiche. And then I thought “well that’s a super French thing, let’s make tarragon chicken, because just the word tarragon reminds me of France.” I made [...]

I’m trying to find new vegetarian recipes that I enjoy that don’t involve meat substitutes. Those were a staple of mine when I lived as a vegetarian for three years or so… I just used Boca crumbles and Quorn chicken. This soup, adapted from Simply Recipes, makes use of the Eastern shore’s abundance of corn [...]

Whoo, alliteration! That’s the English teacher/major/dork coming out in me. Tonight’s photo is brought to you by my new camera, which I love and will soon run away with. This recipe is adapted from a fellow food blogger’s recipe at What’s For Lunch Honey? Next time, I will probably use less coconut milk, and [...]

This one came together quickly, and unlike the last time I used the grill rack thingie, I didn’t sear my thumb (an injury from which I am still recovering.) It was a little dry – I’m not sure how I’d fix that next time. Also, I’d use a Vidalia onion instead of red, just because [...]

Although the preferred form of sweet potatoes in this house is with cinnamon, butter, and lots of brown sugar, this will do the trick sometimes too. This makes a lot of food, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do less and not be wasteful with half a pepper and [...]
