Citrus season is far from being over and as you know, I am a sucker for all things citrus. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a recipe for Kaffir Lime Curd – a dreamy and floral blend of sweet and rich and tart. I couldn’t resist jumping on the crepe…
Dutch Oven Beer Bread
I’m already getting antsy about getting out and doing some climbing and camping. We just got another snow storm, but I am already over winter. I only managed to get up to ride the slopes once this winter and I am ready for the warmer weather and being away from…
Sopa Seca (Mexican ‘Dry’ Soup)
Greg came home from work a couple of weeks ago when I was putting the finishing touches on this recipe and taking the last photos for this post. He walked in, said “That smells good. What are you making?” My response was “Dry Soup.” I should have offered a little…
Warm Roasted Romanesco with Toasted Bread Crumbs
I work in a grocery store. Really, I am a little spoiled because I have every food expert I could ever want just down the stairs from my office. I also don’t have to worry if I forget to pack lunch (this might actually be a bad thing), since food…
Sopa de Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Soup)
This is a family recipe if there ever was one – I’ve shared another one this week HERE. I wish I could trace the full genealogy of this soup and how it developed. As far as I can gather, this is how it went: It was born from a Mexican…
Migitas – A Mexican Breakfast
This recipe is not really mine but rather my dad’s. Although ‘recipe’ may be far too formal a word for it. Whenever my mom was out of town and my dad was in charge of breakfast, we could expect to find Migitas on the table. I never asked, but I’m…
My BEST Valentine
I was never that girl that started planning her wedding at 12 or who envisioned having a husband and kids someday. I pictured a career and a big circle of friends and not much beyond that. I was skittish of anything that smacked of commitment or longevity – really for…
Coconut & Mango Millet Porridge
Porridge. Just the word invokes Oliver Twist and asking for more. I love that porridge is making a comeback – not as a bland gruel but as a filling way to start the day with a warm bowl in hand. First steel cut oats and polenta seemed to creep into…
Kaffir Lime Curd
The first time I met a Kaffir lime in the flesh I thought it looked like a wrinkly lime green zombie brain. Really. Really. Kaffir limes are sweetly scented with floral notes. You can find them in Asian or Indian markets. If you can’t find them, regular limes or lemons…
Not a Recipe – Quick Quiche
One of the best parts about doing all your meal prep early in the week, is that is sure makes throwing together a quick meal later on in the week so much easier. Roast all your veggies on Saturday or Sunday, and then you don’t have to worry about cooking…
